Usually players find them through their distinct noises, which sound similar to that of a stereotypical monkey. They are very small and walk on all fours and come in varying shades of beige and brown, which can make them hard to spot. The Mesopithecus looks somewhat similar to the modern Squirrel Monkey, but with a more ape-like face. Their small size and distinctive call makes them easier to hear than see. Wild Mesopithecus can usually be found wandering the forests, beaches, and plains of the island. Mesopithecus will still throw feces at animals even if it is perched on your shoulder, especially if set to 'attack your target.' It is also possible to have them throw feces at an enemy from your shoulder while you are riding another mount. These feces appear to apply a slow and damage over time effect to other animals. When fighting, it throws feces at its enemy.

The Mesopithecus is able to travel perched on your shoulder, and able to screech to warn of incoming danger, just like the dossier image implies. Nomadic tribes have also managed to teach Mesopithecus to open locked doors when pillaging. It is, however, quite effective at vocally warning of incoming intruders and pelting them with copious amounts of tossed fecal matter. Mesopithecus is most often used as a social companion, as it cannot carry enough to be a beast of burden, is not large enough to be ridden and is not particularly good for combat. It will eat nearly any fruit harvested on the island. DomesticatedĪ common pet, Mesopithecus is very easy to keep fed. They can be hand-fed if you are patient, but stick too close to them for too long and they'll get spooked and run away. It does not appear to be aggressive unlike its relative the Gigantopithecus, but is rather very shy towards humans likely due to their much larger size and lack of hairy exterior.ĭue to their skittish nature they can be difficult to tame. It is smaller than a human, but can scurry about the same speed. Mesopithecus amicufur is an omnivorous monkey species, primarily inhabiting the Island's jungles.
