What it’s good at

Companion

While not the strongest fighter, this little fella has more of a role of a companion: You will never feel alone with this creature. Mesopithecus can be carried everywhere on a shoulder. It can warn owner about danger and throw feces at enemies and hostile creatures, that poisons them and slows them down a fair bit.

Level up: Health and Weight

Door Opener

If thrown into a base, the Mesopithecus can open doors (only s and s) from the inside, by using the "Whistle Attack THIS Target" command (default: ) on the door. It is thrown in the direction the player is facing, so by pointing upward it can get across wall more than 2 floors high.

Level up: Health and Speed

NOTE

It cannot open double doors, just the basic type of doors.

Backpack

Only half their weight is put on your shoulder, meaning you can carry extra weight (Level up Weight).

Wingman

When on shoulder, the Mesopithecus can give you a helping hand by throwing feces while you ride another dino as if he's a gunner. Its thrown feces can slow your enemy, giving you the upper hand. However your dino or the enemy may move too fast for the feces to hit accurately. Most helpful when trying to retreat Setting targeting distance to highest will help when on large mounts.(Level up Health and maybe Melee). This can also be useful when attacking faster passive dinos for hide eg a…

PvP Assitant

The Mesopithecus poop throw disables the healing effect of any type of consumables that the player or creatures consumes, along with the reduction effect and the reduction over the time makes the Mesopithecus a great addition to the PvP scouters that have sudden encounters.

Level up: Health and Damage

Fertilizer Farm

Mesopithecus is the only tame that can produce . Since the can process one of each type of feces at the same time, the addition of a Mesopithecus to a fertilizer/oil farm will increase production output.

Level up: Health so it stays alive, and Food so it starves slower
