Gigantopithecus profile:
How to tame: get behind it and get close to it (I suggest crouching) and then feed it, titanaboa kibble is the best taming food for it, but mejoberrys work great too, don’t touch it or get too close or it will attack you and won’t stop until you are out of sight.
Abilities when tamed: This guy can throw you VERY far away which could be helpful if you need to escape quickly, it has good damage, decent-good health (about 600-700 at low level) it has good speed, decent stamina, it’s weight is kind of low but still pretty good, they swim fast too.
ENCOUNTERING: they won’t attack you unless you touch them or get very very close (right on top of it basically) also these guys can save you, if you are being attacked by something and need help, run up to these guys and try to make your enemy attack it and this thing might save you!
Where to find: they are a uncommon creature in the redwoods, pretty easy to find just careful for thylas and other creatures, they only spawn in redwoods or beaches next to redwoods (very close). Sorry for the long tip, I hope I helped someone out! Have a good day/night!
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!
These beautiful Beast can gather Fiber Super Great, not to mention they can also gather tatch somewhat decent. they can also pick up shoulder pets and carry them on their shoulder, which can be very useful with a jerboa. Also when it comes to raiding and let’s say the enemy has a bad roof but strong walls or no roof at all, it can throw you pretty far and you can get in and break the roof. or if your on aberration they can grab onto zip lines. and if your ever in a situation were your dying and it’s about to die you can make it throw you far to keep you from dying but your tame most like will die and that is all i can tell you.
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.

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”.
