Make sure to kill the babies around it because if a baby gets on it’s back it’ll bug out and the food won’t go down. Make sure people see this

They also spawn in redwoods on valgaro
Based on the provided Dossier we got, I know that they will: Disable TEK temporarily by throwing parasite infected poop, are omnivores, and so far for what we know…

Don't try taming with tek armor cause it throws poop that disables tek armor
Imagine jumping from tree to tree climbing up surfaces like a thyla that sounds

I found a couple in valguero scattered around various ponds (sorry I can’t really remember the names of the biomes or the areas. I can’t tell for sure if it’s a glitch or not but they didn’t spawn in large groups, 3 at max from what Ive seen.
Kaprosuchus, and most of swamp dino's are neutral to these guys. So don't be scared going to a swamp while riding one.
Can be found in Valguero redwoods!
If the butt can be coloured then the butt will be brown
Hide in the bushes with monke blaze
They also spawn on Val up so people see
Beware fighting raptors with these guys you will get knocked off
Here's what you need.
A few grapples and crossbow
A gun
A lot of ammo for gun of your choosing
And I recommend a dino or pike.
Grapple to a tree, shoot all the baboons that don't have the red glow INCLUDING baby's. After they are dead, start shooting…

Grapple to a tree, shoot all the baboons that don't have the red glow INCLUDING baby's. After they are dead, start shooting the alpha baboon until it's under 85% heath. You will know it's ready to tame when it just walks around. Put taming food of your choice in lost slot of your hot bar, then follow it around and tame.
did anyone else see this in the val red woods??
Out goes the phiomia and in comes the baboons.
The baboons can make wild creatures poop and they poop a lot themselves. Plus they are incredible fighters and great at harvesting meat. They’re also ten times stronger in a pack.
Incase anyone isn't aware...the slam attack makes everything you hit with it poop! So if you need to re arm with ammo, start slammin!
I was way more intimidated to tame one of these than I should have been... jumped on an argy, killed its tribe, hurt it a little, kept the area clear while feeding it prime meat, ironicly from one of its babies... almost lvl 200 after tame; its a game changer. Thylo on meth.
