>All points into damage if they have 450+ hp
-Carry pal(1)

>Minimum 450 hp
>All points into weight if they have 450+ hp
>Use to carry whatever items you don't specifically need at the time(structures, feeding narcotics, heavy items, etc)
So it turns out that if you set this thing to aggressive and have it perch on your shoulder, it can shout at you to warn of incoming danger, which the Mesopithecus(Monkey) is also capable of, but will instead go “TAH! OOH- OOH!”. This is pretty useful in case you are near an animal that you won’t be able to survive an encounter with and don’t realize it. Dimorphodon will also throw a rather hard bite at your enemy to give you a fair hand in escaping, and may kill other creatures looking to prevent you returning home, however Mesopithecus is a better guardian because your monkey will throw balls of poop that slow the predator down, giving you the upper hand should it be that you should stand no chance should you decide to kill the predator. Either way both are quite effective at vocally warning you of danger ahead of time so you have time to correct your position to a safer location.
If you have these guys with you do not, I repeat, do NOT, attack a stego or anky! I was once roaming around with my mini army and attacked an anky thinking I would win (since my army has taking down a theri AND pack of raptors). Worst mistake ever. One swing from the anky’s tail and three of my Dimorphs flew across the map.
R.I.P. Debby, Sprinkles, and Jaws
Pair a pack of these with a bunch of dilos and you got yourself both land and air superior. You can also bring these with you when you’re riding your Pteranodon on exploration, they will save you and your Pteranodon’s ass when you need to land to regain stamina. They basically dilo but on the sky.
