Wild: Gigantopithecus fibrarator is a strange creature. It is usually quite passive, but it has a very short temper when it comes to its personal space. Once another creature gets close, this gentle giant quickly becomes a rampaging beast. Best to give them a wide berth.

Domesticated: In addition to being at home picking berries a tamed Gigantopithecus can be taught to harvest the fibers found on many island plants as well. It appears to be entirely content to pick at plants all day, eat the berries, and hold the fibers for its tribe. Playful once tamed, Gigantopithecus seems to enjoy throwing its shoulder-mounted rider into the air. It probably feels this is a game, but clever brigands can use this "game" to vault over walls and small cliffs.

Known Information: Gigantopithecus seems most happy to lazily lay about, picking berries from plants. Many Gigantopithecus spend much of their day in one small area unless they are provoked.

Behavior
Gigantopithecus wander around the forests of the island, eating berries off of bushes. They are naturally peaceful creatures, but will fight back if attacked or if a player or tamed creature makes physical contact with them. Gigantopithecus normally spawn as individuals and are fairly spread out, so it is rare to see groups of them in the wild. While they mainly inhabit forests, they tend to wander quite far and can sometimes be found on beaches or near rivers and mountains.
Yeti
With the introduction of the Snow Cave in Patch 237, a variant of Gigantopithecus spawns inside called the Yeti. They are untamable apes that only spawn inside the snow cave at levels up to 340. These apes are vicious, terrifying creatures that will decimate any adventurers hoping to step foot inside. Stay clear from them, or use extremely powerful guns and weaponry to slaughter them before they get their powerful hands on you!
Appearance
The Gigantopithecus is a close relative of the modern orangutan. However, it stands upright like a man but slightly taller, giving it a strong resemblance to Bigfoot or the yeti.
Color Scheme and Regions
This section displays the Gigantopithecus's natural colors and regions. For demonstration, the regions below are colored red over an albino Gigantopithecus. The colored squares shown underneath each region's description are the colors that the Gigantopithecus will randomly spawn with to provide an overall range of its natural color scheme.
