You can build on its back without a saddle, however IF YOU EQUIP A SADDLE YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING. If you cryo you will also LOSE EVERYTHING regardless of saddle or not. Vote for more people to see

They apparently have some sort of gravity field on them allowing players to walk on its back while submerged

Don’t cyropod them!! You will lose everything you built on their shell!

You can use hlna to teleport you and your turtle anywhere (they can walk on land) but can only breed under water.

Tamed you'll be able to build on its back. When diving he provides an oxygen bubble on his back allowing you to submerge your base on the floor of the ocean.

Are you turtley enough for the turtle club?

Crop plots built on the shell are automatically irrigated. No need for pipes!

It does NOT irrigate crop plots on its back or in a building.

Probably the best platform dino to live on, the megachelon can fit a 5 by 7 of foundations on its shell, and many structures, like chemistry benches, grinders, and even industrial forges can be built on it while staying there when underwater. You don't even need scuba gear when going underwater, staying above one provides oxygen. Not only this, but they actually have surprisingly good melee damage, as well as being one of, if not the best fiber harvester in the game. Different resources will constantly build up in its inventory, including rare mushrooms and flowers. They also automatically irrigate any crops placed of them. Get an imprinted one for extra speed, damage, and resistance, then give it an good armor saddle from the frog escort mission in the bog, and you have an extremely tanky resource gathering portable base, war machine, greenhouse, and water exploration mount!

Do not ever throw this out with cryosickness. It takes legit 10+ hours to wake back up. Craziest thing ever. Lol

NOT immune to jelly fish stuns. You will be dismounted all the same. Total bummer!

produces rare flowers and mushrooms.

This boi will be able to be your mobile water base while looking cool af!

the turtle shells you get from killing them can be grinded into chitin with the industrial grinder... 1 shell=50 chitin... 500 shells=black box of chitin

Could be wrong but I've heard somewhere these can actually passively generate rare mushrooms and flowers in their inventory

Fun fact use it in the lunar biome to gather stone, crystal, wood thatch fiber like crazy from lunar bushes, go to the Arctic to get sap from trees, go to ocean to get silk and plant y seeds and big biome for plant x from those narco plants. Volcano needs testing to see what it's good for. Enjoy building stone behe gates in lunar :)

Finally a raft safe from leedsicthys!

You can build on there back without saddle and you can stand on there back underwater DO NOT cryo these guys if you build on there back if you wanna keep the building you will loose all of it platform or not .

Press the sky so people don’t make the same mistake as I did 💔

It provides oxygen for anything on its back

Don’t build on its back before you have a saddle it destroys everything built on its back learned that the hard way
