Exceptional Kibble
Overview
The Dinopithecus is a medium-sized omnivore known for its special passive taming mechanic and climbing ability. It excels at damaging structures and can carry smaller creatures as cargo, making it a versatile raiding mount. It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Tusoteuthis for rapid deployment to enemy bases.
Its aggressive melee attacks and boulder throw make it effective in combat and siege scenarios. Players tame it for its utility in PvP raids and its ability to traverse vertical terrain with ease.

Exceptional KibbleMore about taming the Dinopithecus
Only the alpha Dinopithecus can be tamed. Before passive taming starts, feeding is blocked until its pack is defeated and its health is below the taming threshold. Those restrictions are removed after passive taming starts.
Taming a Dinopithecus requires a special passive method. First, locate the Alpha of the pack, identified by its glowing aura, and eliminate all other nearby pack members. Once alone, reduce the Alpha's health below 85%, then feed it Exceptional Kibble to complete the taming process. Raw Mutton also works if kibble is unavailable.
The Alpha can be immobilized using a Chain Bola, Bear Trap, or Large Bear Trap. No narcotics are required. Use the calculator below for your settings.
