Cooperation between primates. The great apes of ARK: Survival Evolved are excellent fiber collectors

There are many alternative creatures in ARK: Survival Evolved. Today we will meet the great apes, “Gigantopithecus” which are said to be the ancestors of humans, and behave somewhat like humans in the game. Today we’ll take a few moments to learn more about them.

Also known as a Gorilla or Great Ape, the Gigantopithecus in ARK: Survival Evolved is a medium-sized herbivorous beast that walks on two legs, much like humans today, and is covered in thick fur. They are not aggressive, but they are very territorial. If you attack their group, they will attack you together.

A single Gigantopithecus is not very strong in the game, but a group of them can be very powerful in battle, and can even defeat some large beasts. The Great Ape has excellent speed and is very agile, adapting to all types of terrain, which makes it a very good creature to ride. Another special ability of the Gigantopithecus is that it can wear various human hats or helmets, which you can equip to change its appearance.

The great apes are mainly found in the mangrove areas of ARK: Survival Evolved, an area that is still very dangerous for players. When taming them, players must be on the lookout for attacks from other beasts. As the ancestor of humans, the Gigantopithecus can only be tamed through peaceful taming. In addition to its combat abilities, the Great Ape can also gather berries, a small amount of wood and a lot of straw, as well as a lot of fiber, which is very functional. Defeating a Great Ape will reward the player with raw meat and skins. Overall, the Great Ape is a very useful creature and players are recommended to tame a few.
