How You Get One

method, in order
Passive Feed it by hand, with no tranquilisers. Being attacked resets progress, so clear the area before you start.

Holding it still

BolaThrow it, it's stuck for 30 seconds. Carry a stack — you'll miss.
Bear TrapPlace it, kite the creature over it. Holds long enough to get darts in.
Plant Species YA grown trap plant — snares whatever triggers it. Handy where you can't place structures.

That's the full list — nothing else immobilizes a Mesopithecus, per the game's own immobilizer table (drag weight 25).

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.

  • Shoulder Pet

    The Mesopithecus is a shoulder pet, meaning that it can be picked up by the player on their shoulder, allowing the Mesopithecus to attack from there by biting at close range and throwing feces at medium range. It cannot take damage unless the player dies or it is thrown off the shoulder. While on your shoulder, the weight that the Mesopithecus has in its inventory will weigh half as much to the player.

  • Door Opener

    The Mesopithecus can open thatch and wood tier doors (Human size, no double doors, just from inside) by whistling to attack the door or making physical contact with it.

  • Auto-Harvest Resources

    The Mesopithecus auto-harvests the bushes that it has around whenever it is not mounted above a Human shoulder and its Weight capacity is below 50%.

  • Turret Mode

    The Mesopithecus has a turret mode, allowing its AI to attack from the distance using its feces. The Mesopithecus can be equipped with helmets for extra damage resistance.
