These things should wear full body armor and weild weapons!

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 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.

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

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!

Put club in its hand and it is torpor machine I named my monkey bonke monke

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

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.

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

This guy. Is amazing. He is a good choice to gather narcos. Mainly because you can take a lower level with mejos with ez. They also don’t need a saddle so you can tame low level and get a lot narcos early and quick.

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.

Can climb on zip lines.
Absolute spider monkeys. Mission impossible planet of Apes

Try requesting Sheila
Give it time and she’ll teleport to you

On mobile, you can use weapons while riding the gigan. Pretty cool

You should be able to upgrade a stat like integinse to let them weld a weapon like a sword or gun.

On Xbox, left tab throws you (It's like a spear, the longer you hold down the harder it throws, but there is a max), the other special attack, what you would use for crouching, is what you use to pick up only fiber, and regular attack only picks up berries. It can sprint, swim fast, and jump. Best of all it can wear hats. I equipped my hat with a cowboy hat skin, and it looks hilarious.

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”.
