Not to be super snarky but having been once human, all Space Marines have traces of Primate DNA. It would perhaps be more prudent to say that members of the Chapter have been noted to have traces of DNA that is akin to some now long extinct Great Apes of ancient Terra (or some other rock if you wanna get fancy). As you are a Space Wolves fan I can see the appeal of making your own Animal Themed Marines but you should also note we had a pretty narm Chapter here previously before the Great Purges called the Space Primates who were simmlarly themed. I'm not pulling a Necrus and accusing you of stealing, I'm just saying the idea has kinda been done before and with limited success and so you will have that stigma working against what you write. So far I like what I see and I am aware this is Sandbox but this looks like she'll be published on the wiki proper and just want to help you know?

Anyway, I would add Ape like feet as well for perhaps some fun banter filled moments amongst their fellow Astartes in the Deathwatch during shower time. Also, if you really want to emulate actual Gorillas, note that they are actually one of the tamer speices of Great Ape, literal gentle giants who eat mostly plant matter and bugs. This is unlike our closer relative the Chimpanze, who are savage, ruthless killers prone to as much rape, pillaging, and murder as humans. Thus, I think you have an oppertunity to do a bit of a Wolfy/Salamanders style persona. The Silverbacks are uncompromisingly brutal to their foes to the point of savagery, but are stoic yet kind when it comes to the people of the Imperium. Think of a Chapter of gruff, rarely impressed step-fathers. They will give the Guard their due praise if they manage something legitimately worth it, and won't pull any punches when it comes to defending the innnocent, but otherwise they lack the warm and cuddly feel of the Salamanders. Just some suggestions. Also, love the dual powerfists.T42 (talk) 00:39, October 19, 2015 (UTC)
