Moyo

Moyo is a recurring character in The Legend of Tarzan. He is the former leader of Tarzan's family, he relinquished the role after realising he was not yet ready and wishes to learn more from Tarzan. 
==Appearance== 
Moyo is a muscular male silverback gorilla. He has black-gray fur and gray skin. He has grey eyes and a goatee. Like all gorillas his age, he has a white streak on his back called a silverback, similar to that of Kerchak and Gobu. Although not as big as Kerchak, Moyo is definitely the most muscular in Tarzan's family as of this time. 
==Personality== 
Moyo is very overprotective of the family, even scolding Tarzan for abandoning his responsibility to spend time with Jane. Moyo is also very arrogant as he doesn't listen to Kala and Tarzan's advice on not leaving their home. But he did apologize for his actions and willingly gives Tarzan back his job as the leader, stating he still has more to learn. 
==Biography== 
==="Enemy Within"=== 
Moyo was present when Tarzan was inducting Gobu as a member of their family. 
==="Seeds of Destruction"=== 
Moyo was among the gorillas who were against letting Tantor and the elephants stay on their territory. He also started the fight with the elephants when he challenged the elephant leader for eating his nest. Moyo was with the gorilla family when they fought against the elephant herd. But when they saw that their homes were in fire, they stopped fighting and worked together, becoming friends in the process.
==="The Challenger"=== 
Moyo and the gorilla's were being chased by Hista, a giant snake that terrorized Kala's family when she was young. Moyo, angered by the fact that Tarzan spent more time with Jane than he does with the family, challenges him for the role of leadership. Due to Moyo nearly dying in their fight, Tarzan saves him but in the process eliminates himself after his vine broke and touched the ground first, which was how they identify the winner of the duel. After becoming leader, Moyo led the family into the farther side of the jungle, hoping that when they return, Hista will be long gone. Tarzan advised against leaving since they knew their territory more, but Moyo insisted that Tarzan is no longer the leader and that he is the one that makes the decision now. Moyo proved to be a good leader, he managed to save Mungo, Flint and an old gorilla from falling down a ravine by holding the log they were crossing over from falling. However, Moyo is very prideful as he doesn't listen to the suggestions of his family, he leads the family into a tar pit and gets stuck. Unbeknownst to Moyo, Hista was nearby and attacks them, Moyo does his best to protect the family but his movements were limited due to being stuck in the tar. Tarzan manages to come just in time to save them, he rescues Moyo first but when they heard Jane scream for help, Moyo runs to the rescue. Moyo challenges Hista but gets defeated, Tarzan managed to get there in time and manages to find a way to trick Hista into going into the tar, killing it for good. Seeing as he was not yet ready to be leader, he willingly relinquishes the role and gives it back to Tarzan, stating he too still has much to learn.
