Investopedia explains 'Gorilla'
A gorilla firm does not necessarily need to have a monopoly within an industry to dominate it, however its overall dominance in the industry may often lead people to perceive it as a monopoly. This term is a reference to the old jokes about the 800-pound gorilla who, "does whatever it wants." For example, you might hear people say that McDonald's is an 800-pound gorilla.
