Reference to "Congo"

I found a quest that might be a reference to an American novel "Congo" by Michael Crichton. The quest is called "Chasing A-Me 01".
In this quest, a robotic gorilla called A-Me 01 is dispatched by a female dwarf to collect data of real gorillas in Un'Goro crater. The robot eventually becomes a family member of wild gorillas. 

In "Congo", a gorilla called Amy (not robotic) helps an American expedition party find diamonds in a jungle. In the end, she left human society and starts to live with wild gorillas.

King Kong (2005)

I just watched King Kong (2005) yesterday. Now I regret I did. It was a horrible film. More precisely, it was the most vomit-inducing film I'd ever seen this year. Because every gigantic insect in the film looks unnecessarily realistic. It gives me goose bumps just recollecting how they crawled or buzzed around poor humans... Dude, it's a King Kong movie, not Starship Troopers! I bet whoever designed the bugs must've been a psycho!

The worst creature in the film was the centipede... My childhood home was located near bamboo woods where I could find centipedes under stones or inside logs. Sometimes, I would even find them crawling in my house. What's worse, one day, I was bitten by a centipede in the pinky toe. Thank God it was a small one, but I cried for a good one hour in a terrible pain! That was a living hell.

So when I saw a much bigger one crawling in King Kong, I really regretted I had started to watch the film.
