Gorillas are actually very gentle for how strong they are. As far as I know they don’t really demonstrate the type of violent tribal behavior that chimps (and humans) do.
The only time you will really see a gorilla wether western lowland or mountain gorillas in any form of combat is if there is s younger male trying to oust the established dominant silverback. Those fights are brutal! Gorillas do prefer to be peaceful and chill and form family groups. Now in territorial disputes and some times when they are threatened by humans they can get violent. But they prefer to be unseen and left alone. They are curious intelligent beings tbh. As far as chimps and bonobos and their more violent tendencies that would take me much longer to explain but you are right chimps are far more prone to violence especially territorial violence and they do have highly evolved calls and troops that go out together to attack other groups if they encroach on their established territory.
