When suddenly, they are interrupted by a gunshot scattering the gorillas, Kerchak and Kala warn him to stay away from the humans, but he doesn't listen and meets a beautiful young British woman named Jane Porter whom he rescues from some baboons. Tarzan shows Kerchak her body and he finally accepts him as part of the family. Everything goes quiet, and Sabor appeared to emerge alone, but it's just Tarzan, pushing her out, and she's actually dead. Tarzan runs after it, and while reaching for it, Sabor pounces on him, and they fall into the pit after some struggling. Tarzan gets wounded by her and receives claw marks across his right breast, he then raises his spear at her, but she's too fast and breaks it and knocks the head onto the flimsy covering of a pit. One day, when Tarzan is an adult while gathering fruit for their dinner, Kerchak is attacked by Sabor and nearly succeeds in killing him until Tarzan pounces on her and pulls her off him, and they fight. Over the years, Kerchak becomes annoyed and frustrated with Tarzan for constantly interrupting him. She shows him to Kerchak who tells her that he will never be a part of the family because he's not a real gorilla. She manages to temporarily subdue her by tangling her in some ropes. But first, she has to rescue him from Sabor who has come back. She finds the baby Tarzan and decides to bring him home with her now that he's an orphan. Hearing a baby's cries, she goes to a treehouse and finds Tarzan's parents also murdered by Sabor. During the night, the child wanders off while Sabor the leopard is out hunting she gets too close and kills him. In the beginning they are shown happy together with a young gorilla child of their own. His eyes are brown and small in comparison to the rest of his head. His forearms are enormous and his head is rather large. Kerchak is a large, adult male gorilla with black hair and grey skin.
However he could be outmaneuvered by more agile fighters as shown when he fought against Sabor who used her superior speed to gain the advantage before Tarzan intervened. Kerchak was a powerful fighter and his massive frame gave him the advantage over most opponents. He did occasionally show a caring side and when Tarzan was presumed dead after falling off a cliff, Kerchak tried to comfort Kala. Despite his intimidating demeanor, Kerchak cared deeply about his family and was willing to risk his life to protect them. While he was dying, Kerchak asked Tarzan to forgive him for never treating him as a member of his family and finally believed that Tarzan was his son.īefore the death of his biological child, Kerchak appeared to be warmer and more playful as he was seen playing with the baby gorilla but after the child was killed by Sabor, he grew cold and grumpy. However, after Tarzan returned to rescue Kerchak and his family, Kerchak finally grew to respect him and tried to protect Tarzan from Clayton which cost him his life. Throughout most of Tarzan's early life, Kerchak treated him with disdain and disapproval and refused to accept him as his son. Tarzan noted that he felt threatened by anyone that was different from gorillas. Kerchak often appeared to be cold, judgmental, aggressive, and always jumps to conclusions. He is the leader of the gorillas and Kala is his mate. Kerchak is a secondary character in Tarzan. "Protect this family and stay away from them." "I said he could stay, that doesn't make him my son."
