Tips & Strategies

To tame a baboon thing you will first have to murder its friends and family including its children. Then you beat some sense into it until it is at less than 85% health then shove food in its mouth against its will and it will somehow start to love you.
They are omnivores so you can feed them berries and meat. Up so noobs can see.
You need to kill all but the alpha (since it would be the highest level). Upon doing so it will be passive towards you and your tame. You can hop off then feed it meat. Not sure what kibble it uses. An awesome tame comes out around 5k health and 3k stam in 150s from what I’ve seen and scales cliffs and structures extremely quickly. One of the most entertaining dinos I’ve used in a long while
You can only tame the alpha monkey, the one that has the glow. You will have to kill the entire pack EXCEPT the alpha. You'll want to get it below 85% of its health. When you have done that you passive tame it with its preferred food, like exceptional kibble. I'd guess it eats meat too. Hope it helps!

To all the people saying the dinopithecus sucks, or this isn’t a dinosaur blah blah blah..kick rocks. One this isn’t 2017, we have a whole Arsenal of dinos that aren’t dinos, too include dragons and space whales, even baby stealing platapus, so get dumped on. Two, the same old same old two legged reptiles and 4 legged mammals were getting old. People grew tired of using the same whole rexs for bosses and thaylas for caves. This is a breath of fresh air, and it’s a modest one at that. HP and Damage is on par with thyla/shadowmane, but with interesting twists such as helmets instead of saddle(more armor but degrades) and can throw poop and grenades. I tamed my first 145 yesterday and I’ve been completely happy with it in these early days of the new dlc!
I don’t know if this is intentional, but these guys also spawn on Valguero. I play on an official server, and the redwoods are packed with these guys.
To tame it you first need to kill the alpha's entire family and then beat it until you assert dominance and then just forcibly shove food into him until it gets Stockholm Syndrome and becomes your best friend
As of now (dec 22 2021) there is a bug where these guys spawn in the val redwoods. Tame ‘‘em there while you can!
Kill its family, beat it until it is below 15% health, then feed it. You must do this to the alpha also. It should have an orange-red aura around its body.

Its a kind of passive tame
You can only tame the alpha from the group but first u have to kill the others to gain its trust than u have tu get below 85% health than you can passive tame it with mutton prime
Nearly the same base stats as the Shadowmane but more melee.
When in a pack the bleed is applied after you do the battle cry and the mate and pack boost stack, you can imagine the damage. Melee scales very well. The poop slows and drains, making this a very good high damage hit and run animal. The only thing holding it back would be the lack of a saddle but that’s easily remedied with a helmet. If you’re going to using the throwables, throw poop first to slow and then a grenade for efficiency. Could be very good in pvp with a pack and the bleed could potentially shred through high armor targets.
If anyone wants to know, these guys are skittish when alone and aggressive when in packs.
They can be found In the redwoods on the lost island map.
Taming is easy just
1. find a group.
2. Kill all but one (preferably the alpha since it’s the highest level)
3. Injure the last one to about 80% hp or once it starts to bleed a bit.
4. Once all the requirements are met it’s just a easy passive tame it’s omnivorous so it will eat meat or plants.
Happy taming
Use a menagarum to freeze the alpha while you kill the betas.
