Tips & Strategies from the iOS & Android apps
At first these guys are passive and tame and can be given any type of berry. (Mejoberry is recommended) do not run up to its face. It will run away and it will keep running.(other monkeys near it will also run away too) simply crouch and feed it berries. Once tamed, they will love you forever.(they are a shoulder mount so put them on your shoulder and take them EVERYWHERE) they have a really cool ability to through poop at the enemy that is chasing or if it is your target. When it through the poop if it lands it will disable there ability to sprint for a little while.( and will take small amounts of dmg too while the poop is on them). I hope you found this guide helpful.please up this if so. If not helpful PLEASE DON’T DOWN THIS!!!!!
Utility Roles for Mesopithecus:
Pet. A cute monkey boi to travel with you on your shoulder or a friendly face to come home to. (level Health)
Shoulder Combatant. It flings poop at your enemies which slows them. Handy in a pinch but doesn't do that much damage. ( level Melee Damage)
Berry Gatherer. YEET this boi at bushes and he will collect berries. Not a lot of berries but something is better than nothing. (level Weight)

Please don't down, I want wildcard to see this
If you want to tame one of these, but can not locate one, and have good directional hearing, these are it’s approximate voicelines:
Idle/Wandering: OH-HUH-HUH-OH-HUH!
Idle/Wandering 2: OOH-HAH-ARGH.
Upon being tamed/waking up after sleeping: (low pitched) HOO-HO-HU-HA-HAH!
Scared: TAH! WUH- WUH!
Dead: AGH!
If you sneak up behind it, give it a mejoberry, then back straight up... over and over again... you’ll tame one. Took me forever to realize that.
These monkeys are one of the easiest shoulder pets to get all you have to do is sneek up to them with berries or kibble in your hotbar and feed them and they have a special ability to throw poop at you enemy's and disable the sprint for a couple minutes while takeing damage.
