Fierce Monkey

Fierce Monkey is a common warrior minion card, from the League of Explorers set.

Strategy
As a fairly cheap Taunt, this could fit in a warrior Taunt-synergy deck.

Moreover, Control Warrior lacks a trustworthy 3 mana drop (besides Acolyte of Pain, which is used as draw engine, but doesn't predent to a board control as much)

For warriors, Fierce Monkey is a strictly better version of both Ironfur Grizzly and Silverback Patriarch, as it has 1 more health than the Grizzly and 2 more attack than the Patriarch.

Lore

 * "Hoohoohoo! Haahaahaa! This monkey is FIERCE!" - Ben Brode

This monkey is original to Hearthstone, and apparently smarter than the average simian, wielding as it does a sword and shield.
