Paralyzing Presence
The mere presence of a 400-pound enraged wild gorilla triggers powerful primal fear responses in the human brain. Many humans would freeze momentarily upon seeing an angry silverback charging toward them. This instinctive reaction significantly reduces the effective number of active opponents. The psychological impact simply cannot be overstated in such encounters. Even trained individuals might hesitate when facing such an intimidating creature. This advantage alone might effectively reduce twenty opponents to half that number.
