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

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

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.

Can climb on zip lines.

Absolute spider monkeys. Mission impossible planet of Apes

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

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.

⚠️Warning⚠️

can’t carry dodos this is very important

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 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.

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.

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

Hodor

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

These are super underrated for early-mid game!

- Great plant based harvesting

- can use ziplines

- has an “emergency eject” that throws you far away from danger

- can use all helmets (like flak)

- can fire weapon on it while mounted

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

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.

Am I the only one who just realized that you can farm meat, hide, organic polymer, keratin, and chitin with the "c" key?

This guy has a good and fast stamina, high jump and swift mobility, and a good amount of weight. Overall with passive tame he's very good ride i feel
