When Tarzan wakes up, Terk is at first happy, before berating Tarzan for nearly giving her a heart attack. The other elephants show spot Tarzan and panic, causing a stampede.Īfter Tarzan is knocked unconcious during the stampede, a worried Terk tries to revive him. He is noticed by a young elephant named Tantor, who mistakes him for a piranha. However, much to Terk's horror, Tarzan takes what she said literly and goes to a river where a herd of elephants are. In an attempt to get Tarzan to leave them, Terk tells him to get an elephant hair. Terk then meets with Flynt and Mungo, before Tarzan arrives, much to Flynt and Mungo's dismay. Terk then starts to leave to play with her friends Flynt and Mungo, but Tarzan asks if he can join her, to which Terk says that he can if he can keep up, which Tarzan can not. She then tells Tarzan that if he wants Kerchak to like him, stay away from him. Terk is next seen a few years later as an older child where she is able to get Tarzan away from Kerchak after the boy runs into him. Terk is last seen as infant sleeping in her nest with her mother. Afterwards, Terk is taken to her nest by her mother, much to Terk's annoyance. When Kerchak allows Kala to keep the baby, Terk asks what Kala will call the baby, to which Kala replies that she is thinking of calling him Tarzan. Just then, Kerchak arrives, causing Terk to hand the baby back to Kala and telling Kerchak that Kala is going to be the baby's mother. Terk replies that the baby isn't bad once you get used to him. She then asks where the baby's mother is, to which Kala replies she will be his mother now. Terk then asks Kala what she is holding is, to which Kala replies is a baby, before handing the child to Terk, who is annoyed at him playing with her hair, but eventually warms to him. As the other gorillas try to think of what to say about the child, Terk calls him "freaky-looking", to which she is scolded by her mother. She then sees Kala returning holding a human infant (which she rescued from Sabor, who had killed the child's parents), causing the other gorillas to notice Kala's return. Following the death of Kala and Kerchak's son by a leopard named Sabor, Terk and the rest of her troop move to a safer place. Terk is first seen as an infant during "Two Worlds" where she is seen with her mother in a nest neighbouring the one inhabited by her aunt Kala, her uncle and leader Kerchak and their son.

She is also the best friend of Tantor, who's neurotic persona often frustrates the ape to no end, though she truly values him as a friend and often takes advantage of him, selfishly. Even though Terk is a bit overbearing at times, Tarzan knows it's because Terk cares, though she will never say so willingly. Terk loves telling Tarzan what to do-that is, until Tarzan's physical strength proves he can hold her in a headlock instead. Terk loves the spotlight, and she is the perfect "big sister" material because she's Tarzan's closest friend-protective, selfless, and absolutely convinced that Tarzan can't survive without her.
