Hands down my favourite companion. Slows enemies and inflicts torpor by throwing poop when on your shoulder, listens to commands when on your shoulder. Handy to escaping troublesome dinos or slowing annoying tames like the quetz. Only half his weight is added to you when he's on your shoulder, I keep my trapping gear in him like a few gates, pillars, bear traps etc and also a couple sleeping bags and tents incase things get rough. Stick a tracker on him and you can leave him in a 1x1 structure to refind downed tames etc, handy to keep an extra tracker at base in case you die he'll be with your body so you can easily find it again. Whistle on a bush and he'll collect berries. Collects meat and hide too but I'm not sure how, Just keep seeing it appear in his inventory. Can wear a helmet for additional protection and fun masks too! I put all his skill points into hp and weight. Warns you of danger too!

One of the best early and even mid to late game shoulder pets. I was atacking a tickle chinken from a rock then it somehow got on the rock with me. It pushed me off and destroyed all my armour then by monke started trowing crap at him and i survived. They need a tlc where if you give the poop in theyr iventory they trow it faster until they run out and start using they own and if you give them larger poop then they should throw it slower in a smaller range but it deals more slowness and to smaller creatures like a dilo it could stun it

It like a mini sniper on your shoulder

I woke up with one on my face pooping and throwing it at me

If attacked they will lose all their taming progress. I found that out the hard way. I was taming a level 14 at 80% progress, then a dilo spit on it

They can open locked doors

They can throw poop

They are easy to keep fit as they eat berries

They make good companions

They can be good starter tames

Crouch down behind them feed them mejos them back up quickly. Do that over and over agian . Their hand fed DONT get violent

If you want to tame a mesopithecus you need to sneak behind it and to berries without scaring it by getting to close

Poor fellow, I had one and he was killed by a dodo bird before turning two

Sneak up to it when you see it pull out any kibble

or anything else that I would eat and then tame it passively

How do you make them throw poop

The boss man

Can only unlock wood or thatch doors and does not work on pve servers

My monkey fought off some raptors that attacked me randomly. It also killed a trike and stego. Up if you think these little monkeys are OP. By the way, I decided to give my monkey a chitin helmet and skin the helmet with a rex bone helmet skin.

MINE JUST DIED. what a bug 😮‍💨 tried taming a level 120 and the health dropped instead of its hunger.

These monkeys are one of the easiest shoulder pets to get all you have to do is sneek up to them with berries or kibble in your hotbar and feed them and they have a special ability to throw poop at you enemy's and disable the sprint for a couple minutes while takeing damage.

If you type in monke this guy appears

Perfect on pvp servers. They can lockpick doors from the inside if only they can fit and also when it is on your shoulder it can throw poop at enemies and blind them and can stop them from sprinting so it is good for taming and fighting.

Fight a glow tail with this and u get Godzilla vs kong

Make sure you switch to turret mode so they throw poop, otherwise they just sit there.

These guys are awesome on pvp, they can pick locks and slow other people with there poop.
