EASIEST WAY TO TAME ON MOBILE!

- Make pen or roofless structure

- Hop on a flying tame that can carry a meso

- Find meso

- Pick up meso

- Take the meso back to your base and drop it in pen

- Make dodo egg kibble

- Put kibble in hot bar

- Crouch and sneak into the pen

- Go behind it and feed it the kibble

- Then name your new monkey friend!

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.

Despite what others have said, they do NOT throw arrows.

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.

You can place helmets on it too. I place my mining helmet on my monkey and use it as a source of light at my base. But you cannot see the light if the monkey is on your shoulder and your looking in first person. You can see the light in the orbital camera, While riding on another Dino in 3rd person, and when the monkey is on another persons sholder or on the ground. Hopes this comes in handy : )

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.

For Ark mobile ult players EXCLUSIVELY. You can sneak up behind one, wait for feed berry then walk a few steps back and the option will still be there! You do this as so not to punch them or scare them! <3 -Pyco81

You know when you just got enough stuff and more to build an argy saddle? Then you see one of these guys and you're like: "Lemme just tame that monkey!" Then it sees you and it's like: Byeee! And you follow it and you're like: "Oh where did the monkey go?" Then an alpha T.Rex eats you. Please ^ if this has happened to you!

Good for Pvp severs if you can tame high level preferable 100+ as they can unlock doors from entering a open window

Shoulder turret. If you wistle aggressive, neutral, or attacking target while they are on your shoulder, they will throw poop at your target.

When startled: DAH! OOO-OOO!

When killed(extremely high pitch): DAAH!

When Normal: OOO-HAH-HAH! HU-HU!

When Tamed (low pitch): OOO-HAH-HAH-HAH!

Try to practice with berries before wasting kibble

75 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Nov 18, 2019   Report

Turn around and walk backward about ten feet every time you feed it berries then turn back around and see which way it turns and then sneak around it, feed it berries,repeat EASY TAME (by the way remain crouched the whole time and have LOTS OF PATIENCE!!!)

They will throw poop at enemies (I'm serious) Also you can put hats or helmets on them.

45 points   🔧 Utility   Jul 11, 2021   Report

Monke is the best he throws poo at bad guys

Finding these guys is a pain in the *as, they spawn almost everywhere but they're extremely rare. Gaming them is easy, but before I found one of em I died like a million times

Mobile Taming: Easy! Just don’t get to close! It’s probably one of the easiest things to tame! Mejoberries do great, but if you have Dodo kibble, then use that. They are handfed, so don’t get violent!

Domesticación móvil: fácil! No te acerques demasiado! Es probablemente una de las domar! Las mejoberries son excelentes, pero si tienes croquetas Dodo, úsalas. Están alimentados a Mano, así que no te pongas violento!
