Monkey Business: Frontier Chimp

Name: Chigger, the Frontier Chimp

First Appearance: Tomahawk #61 (1959)

Powers and Abilities: As the "world's best-trained chimp", Chigger used his acrobatic prowess to assist Tomahawk and his young sidekick Dan.

History: Escaping into the wilderness from a traveling circus, a trained chimp named Chigger is found by Tomahawk and Dan. No sooner is Chigger given his own tiny buckskins to wear (to protect him from the elements, naturally) than a tribe of hostile Indians attacks and captures his human rescuers. After freeing Tomahawk and Dan by chewing through the rope binding them, Chigger spooks the horses of the Indians, sending the braves chasing after them.
