About

The Mesopithecus is a small primate classified as a mammal. It is a base-game creature requiring no DLC, so it is available on any standard server without additional content unlocks.

Admins can spawn or target this creature using the entity ID Monkey_Character_BP_C or the name tag Monkey in console commands such as SpawnDino or GMSummon. These identifiers are also useful when configuring spawn entries, adjusting spawn multipliers in game.ini, or writing creature management scripts.

Because the Mesopithecus can be equipped with items and placed on a survivor's shoulder, it sees occasional use in testing inventory and shoulder-pet interaction systems on custom servers.
