The New Adventures of Jonny Quest (1986)

S1E6 Vikong Lives

The Quests stumble upon a mysterious, ice-encased creature—a large, orange-furred ape resembling a Viking guardian, which they affectionately name Vikong, a blend of 'Viking' and 'King Kong.' Though Vikong proves to be gentle and kind-hearted, the surrounding villagers and unscrupulous land developers pose a threat. Determined to shield their newfound friend, the Quests rally to defend Vikong from those who seek to exploit him.
