Weird Ape
The Story Begins Here

When the universe was created, all the races wanted to be one to rule the world, the great Kongs were not left out. A great began! Race against race, specie against specie! The war went on and on for many centuries and the world was dyed with blood.
Karagund, the king of the great kongs, vowed that his race would be the ruler of the world no matter what it would take. And so he travelled far away to meet with a hidden sorcerer, a mixer of science and magic. It was rumored that he was an immortal who knew the secret of the creation of the world.
The sorcerer said to Karagund, “You desire power for your people, do you know the price for it?”
The king Kong pounded his chest and replied with strong conviction, “If the Kong will rule this world, no price is too much to pay! Tell me! What price do your gods want from me?!”
“Good… good… Here, take…” the sorcerer laughed hideously and handed a glass tube filled with a glowing red liquid over to Karagund, “This is the “WEIRD APE” a special mixture I created from your King Kong bloodline. Empty it into the sea and have your people bath in it, you shall get the power you so desire! As for the price, worry not, you will know soon enough!”
Karagund returned home and did as instructed. He had his people dig an extremely deep and wide hole and filled it with sea water. After that he emptied the red liquid and had all the kongs bathe in it. Immediately, something happened! All the kongs had their fur changed to a bright red color, they roared out as their body expanded with power.
