What is a megalania used for? megalania battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Megalanias are simply the best climber that isn’t a rock drake because thylas and deinonychus are extremely buggy when climbing. They’re great for caving and taming things by climbing around, just beware that their bite does almost no damage against tames. Utilize their rider weaponry and bring a shotgun or compound bow.
These can be used as a deadly bioweapon against enemy tribes:every bite of a megalania has a chance of inflicting highly contagious health draining rabies, so just one bite from a megalania can kill many more players and the rider of the megalania is immune, that combined with their brilliant wall climbing ability means that they can sneak into an enemy base and spread a deadly plague which can only be treated with a lesser antidote which is incredibly difficult to get seeing as the best way to get it also inflicts a deadly disease only curable by it
Honestly one of the most underrated creatures. It's like a thyla, but better (in terms of ability.)
It can climb like a thyla, but can move in any direction and stick to any surface. The only downside is that they're pretty much exclusive to caves, so taming them can be difficult. They can also give you mega rabies, a disease that saps your health away for about a minute.

Definitely the best wall climber in the game, has amazing wall climbing AI, It can climb up ceilings and it works amazingly well, when on their backs you can turn around 360 degrees unlike every other rideable creature. They also inflict mega rabies making them valuable pvp dinos. Their downsides are their lack of multiple kinds of attacks and that they suuuuuupperr slow, if you play on boosted servers then just pump a few points into speed and ur good. 5/10
