How to use the Mesopithecus

[Eddard]

Just tamed 2 of them for me and a friend and was wondering what the controls for it were. Like how do i get him off of my shoulder, throw him and make him throw poop?

As far as I know you press E to "throw" him but it seems just to dismount him.

double tap E to throw the monkey

Just be careful about having one on your shoulder while on a flyer. For some reason, they decided to make it so throwing a shoulder-mounted dino while mounted yourself is X. Since that is also airbreak, it means you are likely to accidentally throw your poor little monkey straight into the mouth of a rex whose level you were trying to check.

Its useless nevertheless. 8 poop throws to kill a level 4 Dodo xd

Poor Dilo will never hear the end of that in Dino heaven. "Hey, guys! Look! There's the guy who died of a small monkey! By having feces thrown at him!"

The poop slows affected dinos/players by a fair bit (also messes with player vision, though that only matters for PvP). It's not intended for it to be able to easily kill something just by throwing poop at it.

It also has a melee attack that has decent strength (considering its size). Unfortunately, since it only gets xp from the slow progress of time and killing something with a phsyical attack, getting it to the point where it can survive in melee against a low-level dilo is tedious. Annoyingly, something dying from the slight damage-over-time from the poop they throw doesn't give the monkey any xp either.

I hope they fix the shoulder-mounted dinos not getting shared xp (from some testing, it affects the Dimos as well, but since they only have melee and are much more likely to survive against something at the start, it is harder to notice). As it is, I just increase its weight and take advantage of the fact that the inventory of a shoulder-dino is only half-transferred to you. That, and to allow me to get multiple artifacts out of a cave on each trip.

Aside from the practical uses, the new fur pass makes them look absolutely adorable.
