She then runs off to join two ape boys named Flynt and Mungo to which Tarzan asks Terk if he can come to which Terk says that Tarzan could come if he could keep up but he can't keep up. Terk then tells Tarzan that if he wants Kerchak to like him, stay away from him. Just before she went to sleep, Terk slid off her mother's belly, picked a leaf for a blanket, and climbed back on her belly.Ī few years later when Tarzan grows into a young boy, he accidentally runs into Kerchak, but Terk manages to help Tarzan by acting that she was looking for him, and takes him away from Kerchak. After that, Terk's mother picks her up and tells her that it's way past her nest time. After Kerchak allows Kala to keep the baby, Terk asks Kala what she's going to call him, and Kala says that she's going to call him Tarzan. Terk nervously hands the baby back to Kala and tells Kerchak that Kala's going to be the baby's new mother now. As Kerchak, Kala's mate, and the leader of the gorillas come over and are shocked at the new arrival. Terk plays with the baby, saying 'he's not so bad when you get used to him'. When Terk asks where the baby's mother is, Kala simply says she will be his mother now.

Terk asks Kala what the baby is and Kala tells her that he's a baby and puts him in Terk's arms to which Tarzan starts playing with Terk's hair. When Terk first sees the baby she calls him "freaky looking", for which she is scolded by her mother. She is the first to spot Kala coming back with a human infant. After Sabor kills Kerchak and Kala's son, Terk and the rest of the troop movement to a safer area. In the movie, Terk is first seen during " Two Worlds" where she is with her mother in a nest neighboring the one used by Kala, Kerchak, and their son. She is also the best friend of Tantor, whose neurotic personality often frustrates the ape to no end, though she truly values him as a friend (even if she often takes advantage of him). Even though Terk is a bit bossy 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 acts as a "big sister" figure to Tarzan - protective, concerned, and absolutely convinced that Tarzan can't survive without her.
