These things should wear full body armor and weild weapons!

These guys gather fiber when they walk over bushes, put on wander in a forest and you have a passive fiber farm. But you’ll have to find em

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

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.

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

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!

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

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

Put a tek helmet on this boi and you have harambe 3000

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.

All I can say, is that this gorilla is great at caves, just not the ice, the lava or the one in the top left corner in the snow biome. On mobile you can put hats on it, if you got a clown mask or glasses, I recommend using an ascendent hat, mostly hide or chitin due to arthroplueras annoying spit attacks. Level up melee damage and health, there you got a hairy gorilla by your side.

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.

Can climb on zip lines.

Absolute spider monkeys. Mission impossible planet of Apes

"FOR GATHERING FIBER"

Put it on wandering and he/she will gather 100 per 2-3 sec (put some fighter tame follow on your gigantic so they can protected it

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

They should be able to do torpor damage because they are punching stuff with their massive fists

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.
