Silverback - The Viking Gorilla

Ok, so this wasn't SUPPOSED to be a gorilla initially... But our professor was open to different ideas!

For this I used one of my favorite methods of coming up with ideas: to smash two vaguely related ideas together and put it in a fantasy setting! I love the trope of the big badass viking chief so as I was making my thumbs I thought, "What if he was an animal character?". Gorilla was my instant thought because of how big and imposing they are, and I fell in love with the idea right away. It just brings up so many questions! Why the hell's a gorilla in this viking tribe? How'd HE become chief? What else can happen in this world?
