Best shoulder mount ever. Once I got an Allosaurus low and my sword broke first. It was about to gnash me but here my meso goes. Throws a piece of poop exactly in the Allo’s mouth and it died.

if you whistle one of these on a door it will unlock it (like so ppl know)

If you sneak up behind it, give it a mejoberry, then back straight up... over and over again... you’ll tame one. Took me forever to realize that.

If you put them on wandering they'll pick up berries. When you put it on your shoulder it throws poop at your enemy and the poop does damage and slows down the target

I went looking out for a chalicotherium, came back with a mesopithicus, named it George, gave it a hide hat, now we can take on the world.

They can ride in your shoulder. Having a monkey while sailing in your pirate ship is strangely satisfying. 😎

I feed one of these things a single dodo kibble (on mobile) and it tamed instantly without any other factors just a heads up for those of you who don't like wasting time

Not sure if anyone else has noticed but it has a strangely specimen implant shaped pattern on the tops of its hands

Don’t you think it should evolve in to a Megapithecus

If you want to tame one of these, but can not locate one, and have good directional hearing, these are it’s approximate voicelines:

Idle/Wandering: OH-HUH-HUH-OH-HUH!
Idle/Wandering 2: OOH-HAH-ARGH.
Upon being tamed/waking up after sleeping: (low pitched) HOO-HO-HU-HA-HAH!
Scared: TAH! WUH- WUH!
Dead: AGH!

Found In Sothon islets
Hard to tame passive tame
Likes magoberry

Always stay crouched while taming. And never get close enough to touch it. While following the monkey, if the monkey ever stops, its very likely It will turn and start to walk in a different direction. So be aware that it might walk in your direction. Hope this helps : )

If you put stuff in its inventory like eggs or materials and then put it on your shoulder it will weigh less than it would with the items in your own inventory making it perfect to cook kibble fast

This creature may seem frail and weak but once you tame it you will release that it has access to the most powerful weapon on ark THE POOP CANNON

I just tested this, but if you set them on wandering and throw them at a patch of bushes/bamboo shoots or whatever, they can actually gather a decent quantity of berries and seeds. Just be sure to clean their inventory so they can continue and then pick them up and throw them at a new patch of shrubs! Simple as that! Hopefully people find this useful

Where do you find them!!!! It’s so annoying I want one so bad!!!

These dudes are quite useful. But even more useful in multiplayer. If you manage to get them inside a base they can unlock doors during raids. And they can throw poop! You can also equip them with hats which looks better on them than hoomans.

Grab it with a pteradon and then you have aerial turret

Best shoulder mount. Had one fully imprinted with about 300 melee that caught a raptor level 90 with my argie Ace. Sadly, it died protecting me from a poison wyvern after I got kicked. RIP chip foo.

Dude, these things are FRAGILE when in the wild. I literally found a female one to tame, but a Dilophosaurus had just then decided that she would make a tasty snack, so I stood my ground and rushed past the monkey, feeding her a mejoberry as I did so, and saved her at the same time by distracting the Dilophosaurus by fighting and killing it (even when I knocked it unconscious I killed it as I gave that thing’s sorry flank no mercy). She did get a bit startled by the commotion of the fight and ran away, but because I ran in the opposite direction while fighting the Dilophosaurus, she quickly lost sight of us just as quickly as she had obtained it. Taming her right now. #SaveTheMonkeys #SaveTheMesopithecus
