These things should wear full body armor and weild weapons!

These things constantly need berries even at adult so watch out for that when getting these I didn’t and I lost a 165 :(

Would be awesome if Gigantopithecus could ride two-seated mounts with you, even if just for us singleplayers to feel like we have company!

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.

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

Get two of these, paint them black and use them as bodyguards.

To the people saying that these things should be able to wield swords:

Imagine being on a pvp server, and then someone with a fully imprinted and mutated big monke with 1.5K% melee shows up and pulls out an ascendent sword that does 400 base damage...

Sounds pretty balanced and fun

Situation described above will result in 6000 damage per hit btw, aka enough to kill tamed giga (without saddle) in 3 hits

Make them throw you when they’re following, and hold a gun in midair. Shoot something midair and the monkey man will go kill it.

even if these guys didn't have utility, they are monkes and that's enough

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.

Can climb on zip lines.

Absolute spider monkeys. Mission impossible planet of Apes

I reckon they should add a much bigger version of this because this just looks dull in my opinion, I mean its strong but not in comparison to other creatures like the Carno and Allosaurus. The important part if they add a bigger ape is that its tameable.

Up = Agree

Down = Disagree

Who else thinks these should be able to wear full armor sets wouldn’t it be cool if you could have a ape with riot armor

These guys should be able to climb trees like some

People do and should wear full body armor and should be able to collect wood and thatch and stone with the right weapons

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

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.

It would be cool if they can shoulder mount mesopithecus

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

So I get off joe ( my gigantopithicus lv 246 ) to mine some stone, and then I turn around to see joe battling a lv 451 bronto... flippin legend. He won.
