It is also an example of Mannar, the Rune of identity. The fault in the situation was focusing so much on the "tame" behavior of the chimp that they ignored its true nature. I would guess they ignored or minimized small instances of wild behavior. No matter how domesticated the animal acts, its identity is still that of a wild animal. How often in life it is true that what you see is exactly what you get. It is an example of Urus as a wild thing. It is also an example of Mannar, the Rune of identity.

People trying to change Uruz into Fehu and failing miserably. Some things will be Fehu, some things will not. That doesn't mean Uruz is bad. It is good for what it is good for. The world should have some wild things that cannot be tamed. When things retain their original nature this strongly, it inspires us to keep that which is best in our own orlog strong.
