History: (Kong The Untamed #5) - Errus was from a tribe that trained pterodactyls as their steeds. He spotted the Neanderthal Gurat near their village and pursued him on his pterodactyl, knocking Gurat unconscious. Gurat awoke and was greeted by Ginny, who’d tended his wounds, and apologized for her brother Errus having attacked him because he thought Gurat was an enemy. Errus came to personally apologize, and Gurat attacked him. They roughed each other up until Ginny intervened and told them to stop being stupid. They were at war with Jelenna’s tribe, a matriarchy that worshipped the goddess Dra, and an attack on her village was imminent. Gurat was happy to go along because Jelenna was responsible for nearly killing him, and had kidnapped his friend Kong. Errus, accompanied by Gurat, and his men attacked on their pterodactyls. They burned down Jelenna’s village, and Jelenna herself was struck with a spear in the back. Gurat spotted Kong and saved him, lifting Kong onto Errus’ steed, and flying away from the carnage below.
