Tips & Strategies

I had one but he sacrificed himself for my house🥲 okay to first off I tamed him today. I was out doing the raptor pursuit but I died, teamed up by 3 raptors(lvl 30-50) and I only have hide armor so you would imagine I died quickly, so I tamed a theri for protect I was only level 20 and the theri was level 30 before tamed. We went out killed raptors finished the pursuit and then I thought “I’m already out here lemme check the daily pursuit see what it is “ “tame a meso (little monkey” and I was like that isn’t bad so me and my theri went out looking for one. Then we came came a orange male monkey it was adorable and it was level 120 and I was like definitely taking this one. Tamed it by giving it mejo berries and then took it home. After doing all that I did the raptor bait pursuit I had all the stuff but rockarrots so I went out to pick them. I saw an egg, a trike egg. I was like ima take it and then run for it so I did and I thought i could out run where the trike isnt loaded you know? So I went to my base and started making the kibble. Then TWO trikes came to my base a level 100 and a level 20 I took 400 health from the lvl 100 before the lvl 20 started knocking me back then I saw the lvl 20 trike fighting something I was like “MY MONKEY “ and then I got a notification “monkey lvl 153 killed trike lvl 100” “monkey was killed by trike. I was able to take out the lvl 20. I was upset and my theri was out wondering to collect berries and wood😭 I’m so sad

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!

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.
Up if you think this monkey should be in aberration.
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!
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!
Try to practice with berries before wasting kibble
