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!
CAN NOW BE PICKED UP WITH PTERA!
Please don't down, I want wildcard to see this
So basically it’s MonkE........
These aren’t fighting monkeys if you tame them, make sure you leave them that face if you’re going on any dangerous events like going in caves, they can’t even battle if you think they can then you’re gonna lose your monkey cause they’re run away and hide from anything and if you ever think they can fight you’re wrong I asked my friend to join me in ark and guess what he said hi monkey and then he heard this attacking sound and he looked behind him and he was like there’s nothing there. Can he look back in front and he was getting attacked by affair with the monkeys, dead body sitting there I mean, my friend he got killed by a huge monkey accidentally taking it for a small monkey I mean, who even thinks gorillas are monkeys. See you next time.
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.
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!
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
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
