These things should wear full body armor and weild weapons!

These guys SHOULD work similar to a companion in other games. It should be able to wield a sword along with the ability to wear more than just a helmet. Having a tame that acts as a warrior would be very cool for battle in ARK.

I had a gigantopithecus called shiela and she was a good tame, then, I was chilling out and then we got attacked by microraptors and I was knocked off of shiela, she ran off to fight it and when I woke up she was gone, I have not seen her since, #pray for shiela, if you pray for her you get a cookie 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

They dont need a saddle also the dodo DeX wants more words

On mobile, you can actually harvest fiber with them. Just get off of your ape in a bush and they will squat down and gather a good amount of fiber.

If u want shiela back if she's alive go to your profile in ark click tames and find shiela request shiela and wait done she's back hope she's alive tho

Description:

Wild

Gigantopithecus Fibrarator is content to spend it’s days wandering the Redwood Forests. You’d think they’d be more aggressive and alert due to the high amounts of danger within their typical environment, which is the one reason I don’t understand their peaceful nature.

Even despite this, Gigantopithecus Fibrarator is not bothered if another wild animal accidentally physically bumps into it, and is happy to lap up food from survivors, mostly the many berries that populate the island. However, Gigantopithecus Fibrarator becomes seriously enraged whenever physically bumped into by said survivors, causing it to attack and give chase until it either kills them or loses sight of them.

Domesticated

Gigantopithecus Fibrarator, once tamed, is an excellent bodyguard and companion. It’s gathering capabilities are superb, and can help master in dangerous situations. A certain tribe worships them for these qualities. I personally refer to them as “Ape Lovers”.

Nice to know people are praying for my shiela thank you!

Start taming before u sleep. In the morning it will be hungry and feed faster. Don’t save or it’s hunger resets!

Tamed 2 ( lvl 125 and lvl 90 ) did some upgrading mostly to health and melee. Turned my back to cook some meat. Hear scary music, see lvl 130 Rex's corps just flying over my head.

Do i am The only one that wants him to use swords,guns
And full flak armor,shields,its basicly has hands of a human so IT can do things like a human like open a door and ride dino,s IT Will be cool that he must ride a dino.

I hope you find your friend sheila

I was being attacked by a dire bear (I didn't have good weapons) and this dude came over and murdered the dire bear

You can ride these things shoulders on Mobile. They throw you off too when you want to dismount. It’s like chunking a dodo except you’re the dodo

The person who lost Sheila I want you to know that if you look in your tames and find her name you can ask for it then it will teleport to you and if it doesn’t Shiela has met the ark gods

Use gillie armor!

I’m the guy who lost shiela, shall we start a trend, #PrayForShiela so we can pray for my lovely ape that I unfortunately lost ages ago? It would be appreciated

Do not knock out. Crouch and feed, continue to do this using mejoberries. Specifically mejoberries and I also got this tip by a dude here. Mine got killed even I didn’t fully tame and fought a alpha

TLC patch to be added in March 2018 to add armor degrading attack, jump ability, and aiming system for throw. Like for people to see!

Possibly the most useful creature to go caving with as his small size but large health and damage allows him to withstand onycs,spiders and scorpions haven't encountered a arthurplura yet so not sure how effective he is against it
