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

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!

They don't require a saddle to ride and instead equip a helm where the saddle slot would be. Thus allowing very high armor, much higher than saddles.

Very strong for starters. Can still be good for pros, set them on wandering for a lot of fibre

Stay near by gigantopithecus in center for terror bird protection very useful in redwoods

Can climb on zip lines. Upvote so all know.
Absolute spider monkeys. Mission impossible planet of Apes

Fiber Gatherer: Gigantopithecus is a great fiber collected, even being able to gather fiber while on wander

Warrior: With the knock back of a Bronto, and high melee damage, they can make quick work of small dinosaurs, and players

Berry Collector: They collect berries with incredible swiftness, and can defend you if you get into some trouble

Good for base defence if you pump movement seed like 200% and put the rest into damage

You can ride them via piggy-back ride and they can throw over walls that aren't Dino doors or two+ walls high. If you have them throw you, be prepared for fall damage.

The Fiber grabbing ability can also gather hide,meat,chiting,keratin and anything that the dead dinosaur can give.

Ummm... it doesn’t say this but it can collect meat and hide with the fiber collection button just saying.

If on a pvp server you can use the gigantopithicus' throwing ability to launch your character over short walls to get into a base

Extremely useful. They are amazing fiber gatherers and while there are better options, they make great berry gatherers with the added bonus of collecting wood and a decent amount of thatch. They also are good travel mounts with great stamina, decent speed and the ability to travel on ziplines as well as moving just as fast in water as on land They are also extremely strong. With a decent helmet they can easily solo a spino of their level or higher even with the spinos recent buff. These guys don't get the love that they deserve.

Are you tired of alphas trolling you with thought tames? Are you tired of people messing you up with Rex's? This is the tame for you! Tame this guy and a microraptor and put the microraptor on his shoulder, then when a player riding a Dino chases you, javelin throw that microraptor at the rider, and beat that troll into submission with your big brollic ape!

TLC patch coming March 2018 adding a jump ability, an armor-degrading attack, and a throw buff with an aiming system. Like so people can see!

Put a helmet into the (practically uneccessairy) saddle slot for massive bonus armor

Fantastic early-game tame! Mount without a saddle, you can tame one at level 1 as it just requires mejoberries, they can wear a hat, and they gather fiber while on wander, which you can use to mass produce cloth hats to level quickly and the list goes on!

These are VERY USEFUL in that they get fiber and climb wires AND you can equip a item on ground or wire. PLEASE upvote.(they’re now my fav Dino)

These guys make fantastic elevators for getting from one floor to another in your base.
