Where do the gorillas get their "monkey" teeth?

Now, this may be a simple question. They kill monkeys, right? Well..

It's been confirmed the gorillas have contacts with human civilization. A direct quote from the enclave reads; "One of our kin was released from human settlements.." But what if "released" is a bit too soft a term? What if they were.. broken out?

Now, humans are primates. It could be very well that human teeth would be branded as monkey teeth, just for simplicity in animal's minds. The sharp "end" on the monkey teeth image may be a root; it looks an awful lot like a premolar turned upside down.

My theory is simple. The gorillas broke their brethren out of a human settlement, but it got a bit.. messy. They have since discovered that animals go crazy for these "monkey" teeth, just to have said teeth sold right back to the gorillas (that's how they keep their stocks up; and why monkey teeth can't be directly traded between players).

Proof?

- Gorillas have had contact with human settlements
- The image shown resembles a human tooth, assuming the sharp end is a root
- Humans would be easier to 1v1 than wild monkeys, especially if said human lack a weapon and especially if the gorilla was fueled by a will to protect their fellow gorillas

What do y'all think?

Well, when it comes to the item art, it can be a little difficult to tell with the angle, but I do think the sharp "end" is most likely the root. When looking at the "top" it looks a lot smoother and more "blunt" than human premolars, which are bicuspids. We see the same sort of bicuspid shape in the premolars/molars with Old world monkeys, but you know where we see that smooth, simple tooth shape in a premolar? Apes.

I deduce they are more likely ape teeth. The gorilla we talk to uses plural terms like "our" and "we", thus we can assume it's not just the one of course, but we can come across enemy gorillas in explore. Now, I highly doubt our friendly Enclave gorillas would attack us, that's just downright bad for business! So, that begs the question, how do they get so many monkey teeth to be dispensing up to 7 teeth to each one of the thousands of lions that may take their quests per day? They can't just rely on their rivals alone as a source.

Now the Enclave gorillas know all too well the power us Lioden denizens have to farm lions. Heck, they set up shop here because of it! Now, if find yourself in need of animal parts, and had a front row seat to see another harem-keeping species farming up to tens of thousands of themselves per week to the point where most are treated as "fodder", wouldn't that ring a bell or two?

My theory: Gorilladen
