Ape Stone (エイプストン, Eipusuton) is an ape head-shaped, stone covered machine from Mega Man X7. They appear in Soldier Stonekong's Deep Forest stage and the Crimson Palace.

Ape Stones come in three varieties and are somewhat harmless due to their simple pattern. One type only sits in the path, while the others move up and down. In addition, some Ape Stones can attack by spitting rocks from their mouth; these ones can be destroyed by attacking them when their mouth is open. All varieties of Ape Stone can act as platforms. A Life Up is inside one.

At the end of the Deep Forest stage, the player must face eight rapidly spinning Ape Stones in the boss arena before confronting Stonekong himself.

Ape Sting (エイプスティング, Eipusutingu) is a variety of Ape Stone that appears in the 2D perspective areas in the latter half of Crimson Palace. They have two spikes on their backs and are indestructible. Ape Stings don't actively attack the player, but unlike Ape Stones they deal damage on contact. Ape Stings hover above the ground and travel from side to side, acting as blockades, leaving only a narrow space to dash or roll underneath to get by.
