Tame one of them now and jack the hp and damage
I got jumped by 5 troodons once, so it was safe to say I was passed out slowly dying
My armor was breaking
And I look around because I hear fighting
And my lil buddy was beating the ever loving crap (and throwing it) out of them, he barely took any DMG and murdered all of them in 1 or 2 hits
He is now so jacked on damage he can genuinely 1v1 a lvl 23 trike and win
Get one of these little goobers, they will be your bff's
More Mesopithecus Utility Tips
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 Alloβs mouth and it died.
if you whistle one of these on a door it will unlock it
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
They can ride in your shoulder. Having a monkey while sailing in your pirate ship is strangely satisfying. Γ°ΕΈΛΕ½
Utility Roles for Mesopithecus:
Pet. A cute monkey boi to travel with you on your shoulder or a friendly face to come home to. (level Health)
Shoulder Combatant. It flings poop at your enemies which slows them. Handy in a pinch but doesn't do that much damage. ( level Melee Damage)
Berry Gatherer. YEET this boi at bushes and he will collect berries. Not a lot of berries but something is better than nothing. (level Weight)
My name is ShinyChimchar01 and I've done similar tips on other creatures. Next tip is on Pteranodon
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

Donβt you think it should evolve in to a Megapithecus
Have troubles of disconnecting and dying and not being able to find your loot? Tame a high level with tons of health and place and tracker on it. It should remain by your body.
Cover a tamed one in c4, set it to agressive, and hurl that hoe into your neighbor's yard.
