Monkey

Monkeys are one of the curious Mammals in ATLAS.

Behavior
Monkeys are passive wandering animals that rarely attack unprovoked. If provoked, they will make a noise before attacking by throwing feces at their target. This causes damage and slows the target.

Appearance
Small arboreal furry mammals that have a long prehensile tail. The are predominately quadrupeds but can walk on their hind legs for short periods.

Drops




Taming
Monkeys are passively tamable with berries or limes. Put the berries in the last item slot and you will get the option to feed by pressing when you sneak close enough to the animal. You will have to wait a few seconds until it is hungry again to feed it. Continue this process as the monkey walks around, making sure to follow behind without startling it. Occasionally during this process, the monkey will stop for a moment and change directions to walk down a new path. When this happens, make sure to rotate accordingly to avoid scaring it away.

If you damage the monkey at all, the taming process will be disrupted and the animal will no longer accept food from you.

Utility
This is a shoulder pet that flings its poo in combat. Each shot is a DPS attack, with an associated speed reduction effect. Great for defense in a fight, however, it takes some time for the poo effect to recharge. Additionally, because the shot moves so slow, it has limited efficiency against flying foes.

Buff
Having a tamed monkey on your shoulder gives a passive bonus to health regeneration.

Combat
Monkeys are amongst the weakest of the creatures. They can be killed very easily with any weapon & most utilities.
