Background
Chonga is a gorilla of unusual size that dwells in the metropolitan zoo. Chonga is far more intelligent than a normal gorilla and  has strong psionic abilities. The source of these powers is unknown. Is Chonga a natural mutant? Is Chonga an experiment? Is Chonga from a race of super intelligent apes? No one knows, but that doesn't make him any less dangerous. Chonga has used his power to create a small kingdom in the zoo, with the head zookeeper acting as his major domo. While his influence is primarily centered on the zoo and the surrounding neighborhood, if not stopped his reach will extend further out.
