Dinopithecus — Detailed Guide
The Dinopithecus is a large baboon from Lost Island that lives and fights in troops. It climbs, jumps without taking fall damage and throws grenades or feces from its inventory, which makes it one of ARK's more unusual combat mounts.
Where to find it
Its home is Lost Island, mainly in the redwoods and the small jungles around them.
Taming
An unusual passive tame. First break the troop: kill every member except the alpha, which turns passive once it is alone. Then wound the alpha below 85% health and feed it. Exceptional or 
Extraordinary Kibble is the best food; crops and berries work but are slow.
Breeding
A live-birth creature. Gestation takes about 9.9 hours, and a baby matures in about 3.9 days at 1x.
Uses
- Mount: it is ridden without a saddle, and the rider can use weapons.
- Combat: it throws grenades, slams the ground, and the alpha can send its pack after a single target.
- Tek counter: thrown feces disables Tek gear and powered Tek structures.
Tips
Keep several together. One alpha leads every five baboons and gains extra melee damage and resistance. Stock its inventory before a fight, since its throw uses what it carries.
