Wild Gigantopithecus dying from Titanoboa venom
So I was flying through the red woods swamp border on an Argent when I found this amazing looking 116 giganopithecus, it was in a fight with two Kapros and a Titanoboa and thought "man, that ape looks too good to let die" so I picked it up, it nearly killed my Argent and dropped it in a taming pen at my base, so I went in the part of the taming pen where I'm supposed to feed it and feed it once, while waiting for it to get hungry I use a magnifying glass on it and...it's slowly losing health and gaining torpor, at first I didn't know what it was but a friend told me it's the Titanoboa's venom, the odd thing is....I was told that only lasts 20 seconds, and it's been way longer than that and it's health is still dropping, I'm in single player so if there's any command ((besides spawning in a new one or force taming it)) to remove it's debuffs or something that'd be great, I tried saving and quitting to see if that would fix the glitch with the venom lasting forever but no, it didn't.

Snake venom will increase torpor long after the bite, if the creature has been bit a number of times. However it doesn't do any damage aside from the initial bite, so the giganto should not be losing health from it.

I would ask if the thing had a leech on it which was sapping it's health, but leeches don't attach to wild dinos, only tamed ones...

It was in the red woods and swamp border, are you suggesting I assault it with a torch?
