method, in orderStep by step
- Find the alpha: the highest-level member, marked by a yellow-orange aura wafting off its back.
- Kill every other member of the troop, juveniles and babies included. None of them can be tamed by any means — the alpha is the only tame in the pack.
- Bring the alpha below 85% health.
- Put the food in the last slot of your hotbar and feed it. Kibble-grade food is effectively required — anything less makes the tame impractically slow.
Holding it still
That's the full list — nothing else immobilizes a Dinopithecus, per the game's own immobilizer table (drag weight 300).

Every number in this card is at official 1× rates, with the fastest food. Taming speed and food consumption multipliers change all of it, and most servers are not on official — the calculator at the top of this tab takes your rates, a Sanguine Elixir, and every other food this creature will eat.
Effectiveness is what decides the bonus levels: every unit of food eaten costs a slice of it, so the food that needs the fewest units finishes at the highest level. That is why kibble is worth the trouble — not that it is much faster, but that it is fewer feedings.

what it does and how you trigger it
- Melee Primary attack
The Dinopithecus hits or bites the target for 46 damage. If target is affected with Battlecry, an unridden Dinopithecus may deal only 25 damage once every 30 seconds, with a 10% chance to inflict Bleed. The bleed lasts 15 seconds and drains away 10% of health, ignoring armor and innate resistance. Does not affect bosses. Only stacks with
Deinonychus' bleed attack. This attacks colletcs
Feces from the ground.5 stamina · 0.67s, 0.6s jumping, or 1s when moving, cooldown - Ground Slam Secondary attack
Slams the ground, sending a shockwave hitting up to 5 targets within 10 meters for 32 damage. Can be used while airborne. If it hits a Human with this attack, the damage completely ignores the player's armor, damaging their Health directly. This attack forces its targets to poop if they can.
5 stamina · 1.36s cooldown - Throw Poop <span style="font-weight:400">Aim: </span>X <br/><!-- --><span style="font-weight:400">Throw: </span>Left click
The Dinopithecus throws a
Grenade, Feces, or Infested Grenade (poop + grenade) from its inventory at a target. Pressing cycles the ammo: Feces, Grenades, or Infested Grenades. Tek Tier items like armor and weapons are temporarily disabled by the Feces and Infested Grenade ammo types. Feces hit the target for 10to be confirmed damage and afflicts Poop Hit: slows the target down by ?% for ? seconds, drains ? Health, applies Torpor, and negates healing fromConsumables. Grenades act as normal, apart from the fact they can't be cooked. They blow up when the fuse runs out. Infested Grenades combine the effects of both the previous ammo types, and stick to surfaces and enemies upon hitting. The resulting explosion afflicts Poop Hit: slows, damages, drains health, and prevents healing fromConsumables of any hit by it, including yourself.75 stamina - Battlecry X +
The Alpha of the Pack performs a roar designating a target. The rest of the Pack (up to 9 other Dinopithecus) attacks the target specifically. Attacking Dinopithecus lacking riders may use the alternative Bite with a chance to induce Bleed.
5 stamina - Jump Jump
The Dinopithecus jumps. It can jump to a zipline and use it. Hold then release button for higher/longer jumps, improved distance while sprinting and climbing: can be used to leap long distances between climbing points, like redwood trees.
7 stamina - Climb Space<span style="font-weight:400">x2</span><!-- --> <span style="font-weight:400">x2</span><!-- --> <span style="font-weight:400">x2</span>
The Dinopithecus can climb structures: double jump against a structure climb on it. With movement controls will climb up and down, strafe left and right. To let go use the Ground Slam attack ().
5 stamina
- Pack Leader
The Pack Leader buff is obtained by the creature of the pack with the highest level, in the case of Dinopithecus there is one alpha for every 5 baboons. This buff increases the pack leader's Melee Damage by 25% and damage resistance by 12.5%. The Dinopithecus can be equipped with helmets for extra damage resistance. Oddly, sometimes helmets that are directly craftable from a Survivor's inventory (like cloth or leather) do not always degrade in durability when the Dinopithecus takes damage. What causes this is not known, but this is very convenient for long-term damage resistance. Any helmet however that requires either a
Smithy or
Fabricator to craft will degrade, but trade short lifespans for vastly more armor. The Dinopithecus usually poops more than one poop at the same time, and most of those cases the poops are from different sizes between medium and small. This helps keep the baboon stocked up on ammo even while on the move. - Fall Damage Immunity
The Dinopithecus is immune to fall damage, and so is the rider provided they stay mounted. Exceedingly useful, given the tame's impressive climbing and jumping abilities.
