This giant monkey is a MUST HAVE, i tamed a white one, named him yeti, he is now my favorite buddy. You can equip a helmet on him to buff his defense, the gigantopithecus has nice Hp, damage, speed, is a great swimmer, and regenerates stamina very quickly so no need to waste your points on stamina, he can also throw you like a catapult. This monke is a 10/10 creature, to tame it use Mejoberries and find one in the Redwoods, its a passive tame so no need to bring narcotics, while taming make sure he doesn't get attacked by anything or else your taming progress will go back to zero. I really recommend taming one as it also gathers fiber if you let him Wander around or just drive it to a Bush and dismount it while it is close to the bush.
