When people say, ‘ughghhugh, these SUCK.’ They are right, and that is sad. These are meant to be of the REX of the sea. (mosa is the giga) intstead, you can outrun them with and ithcy, kill them with a cross bow, and they are just plain BAD. These should be AT LEAST 5x their current size, and their bite is supposed to be one of the strongest in the world. These should be respected by the devs. Like so that this will be fixed.

To the people complaining that this guy should be larger:

If you look on the dossier it says the scientific name of the Ark Megalodon is Charcharodon Ultramegalodon. This species is imaginary and does exist in the real world, so technically they can make it as small as a coelacanth or as big as the titanosaur and it won’t be scientifically inaccurate cuz there is no accurate thing to compare it to. The genus Charcharodon, however, is real. It contains the great white and its extinct relatives. Most scientists nowadays believe that the real megalodon belongs to the genus Otodus, which is not even in the same family as Charcharodon. So basically the reason why the Megalodon in Ark looks like a slightly bigger great white is because it is literally a slightly bigger great white, as its scientific name provided by the dossier suggests a much closer relationship with great whites than actual megalodons.

This real genus imaginary species thing is actually quite common with creatures in Ark and probably explains why so many of the creatures are considered scientifically inaccurate. Since we call most ancient animals with their genus and not species we may not even notice that their species are not real.

These need a TLC! I understand they are a good starter Dino for aquatic trips but remember this has one of the strongest bite forces in the world. These need a remodel, resize and new abilitys

Please let all ocean tames be able to jump out of the water like the Manta, and no insta-kill if you dismoumt.

Imagine nailing a Ptera mid-air with this, it would be so cool! Give the Meg a grab similar to Kapro too, this guy really needs an update as others have mentioned here :)

These suck.

Basically every marine creature has more health than them.

Most marine creatures have more DPS and AoE than them

Anglers have 100 more carry weight at level one and megs only have 1.06 times the dps as an angler.

They are susceptible to all the movement impairing affects in the ocean (ie. squid grab, bary stun, torpor etc.)

They are rather fast when tamed but still outswam by other swift fighting creatures like mantas and plesios.

They have no special utility like producing oil, weight or damage reductions, rider fortitude, etc.

They they can only harvest corpses and can’t damage stone structures.

They have the same stamina depletion as a basi but slower stamina regen.

They can have a TEK saddle by by the time you can get TEK you can take a mosa and put a TEK saddle on one of them.

In short megs aren’t worth it.

It just needs a TLC badly.

Maybe a boost in size and an ability where it can sense anything below 60% health similar to the dire wolf.

The #1 thing that needs to be in TLC 3. At least make it as large and powerful as the mosa. Should have one of the highest attack dammages because scientists have proven that the megalodon has the most powerful bite of any living thing and is strong enough to crush a tractor trailer.

After the new tlc they now have a pack bonus and bleed damage

These guys can be a beast in groups but considering it being a water mount it is restricted on where it can be used and hard to tame. Sarcos much more versatile and easier too tame, overall better mount than this with the stats it has, (better speed and Stam and possibly melee too). Try not to mess with it, it's just too much trouble.

NO the megladon WAS the biggest shark. Studies show, megs were 15 to 18 meters. That was 3 times as big as great whites! Sharkies proved you wrong.

🦈

Good for clearing out rivers full of piranhas or sabretooth salmons especially on The Center

Really good to collect angler gel

Sharks recieved some love from developers, and now are waaaaay better than before. It bote does allossaurus tipe bleed and have pack buff. Use 9 sharks togheter to Max Power. With this many sharks, you Can anhilate anything in your Path. With a pack of 5 sharks, i was able to obliterate an level 140 Alpha tuso in seconds

People say to make it bigger but the size is just fine!

But make it have rip apart attack where it grabs something like the size of a itchy and shred it but it would take some stamina.

Creature Report

Size:Medium

Description:The Megaladon is kinda strong knockout taming

Wild mantas can be fairly hard to hit with a megalodon.Just keep your shark still and the manta will often swim in front of its head.the rest is easy enough.with a high level megalodon even 120 mantas only take a few hits

They have a pack bonus that stacks up to 8. Combine that with mate boosting and bleed and you can take out alpha mosasaurs with ease.

It needs a T.l.C pass because it’s too small😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

These guys are like the raptor of the sea it’s fast, bad stamina, somewhat weight and bad health
