I was just messing around with my Gigantopithecus and I was in the Redwood zone so I got him to throw me and as soon as I landed there was a thylo in a tree and it jumped down and killed me
So the morale of the story is: The redwoods are not for fun
First time I tried PvP I saw a guy with a monkey on his shoulder while he was running on this Animal's shoulder. I tried to run but one was throwing poop while the other was punching me. It left me traumatized.
