Ehh, a healthy male human could put down 100 pacifist rats, though, assuming they cannot hide. The entire point is a silverback literally cannot kill 100 men in one sitting unless they all walked up to it and politely asked to have their neck wrung.
A mandrill is much closer to human vs gorilla, if on the small side, and similarly, even an athlete would struggle to put out that much energy unless they all openly assisted in their own demise.
A guy still has a solid chance of killing 100 rats vs 100 mandrills, though. Just imagine a metal-head in a mosh pit stomping around… They definitely pass 100 stomps before they’re tired. There’s going to be WAY more dead rats than dead humans vs a gorilla even if the rats managed to bite enough.
I did, as a kid, in the horse stables I rode at. The owner had a standing offer of 10 marks per a dead rat. Never managed any.
Ofc they weren’t attacking me, different scenario. I’m just saying the aiming would be a little harder than in Skyrim.
Rats have a mean bite and jump quite a bit.
I’m honestly not sure about a hundred rats. Depends on what sort of armor you had I guess. If you get a leather jacket, thick denim pants, and good boots, you’re fine. If you’re naked though?
Even if you catch one in your hands, which might be harder than it sounds, wringing their neck while they scramble and bite might be a tad challenging. Even stomping on them or kicking them with a bare foot hard enough to kill might prove hard. Sterdy slippery bastards.
But yeah I still imagine a 100 naked men would win over a gorilla though.
100%. A good comparison is 100 rats vs 1 human. And a human is much closer in strength to a gorilla than to a rat.

In this case I was talking about an actual fight. I should have explained that better. You are right though.

Ever tries stomping a rat?
