Mesopithecus Amicufur is a rather curious herbivore which was sighted in the late Miocene until the late Pliocene epoch.
An ancestor to modern monkeys, the Mesopithecus is somewhat small like modern primates.
In the wild it keeps away from large creatures to avoid getting stomped on, while foraging berry bushes on the forest floor.
Being a curious creature, it will slowly approach humans but will flee if it feels threatened.
When tamed, it is a good pet to have, capable of alerting its owner or throwing fecal matter to those who pose a threat to it and its master.

The Mesopithecus is a small monkey and just by that it is a cute pet to carry while exploring as well as its capability of wearing helmets.
These adorable creatures may be a nuisance when wild but once tamed, they become a problem for enemies that try to get near you as the feces alone can put them at a disadvantage.
Not only will the owners of a Mesopithecus have a feces flinging pet but they also have a good alarm for when threats may start to get too close.
