These guys are a must-have in Aberration; they are always awake (at least in the bioluminescent area), and thus always have their night buff. Of course, this also means you must always be wary of wild ones while in their territory.

Super over powered and under rated, since I play on ark mobile ultimate edition these things can be found in lots of places on extiction.when taming one remember they wake up, but you should try taming From: Ant the Dino man

On the Center, I have normally found that they often spawn at the enterance of the cave by the pond at around 56 lon, 62 lat. Updoot so others can see!

Megalo don’t get targeted by basically anything up so more people can see this

Note: the normal Megalosaurus does fall asleep on Aberration, while the aberrant one does not. I thought that the normal one wouldn’t fall asleep either, but then I tested that theory...

I didn’t know this thing existed only after I went into the lava cave and I saw a fluffy rock

You were killed by lvl 130 megalosaurus

Anyone else feels bad for it when you kill it while it's sleeping?

For mobile players check the artifact of the clever cave

I just tamed this and I am now realizing that they are nocturnal creatures, 🤣 so people who are taming these just know that they sleep all day. and if you force it to stay up it will go unconscious

I was in Aberration and I saw it right next to my base and I was on my iguanodon and the second it saw me, IT PICKED UP MY WHOLE IGUANODON, luckily my iguanodon does a lot of damage and it was a low level but if that was a high level it would have been over

The Grizzly bears of Ark on the island. These dinosaurs may be hard to find on moblie devices, on moblie this thing is only found sleeping in caves. Cave of the clever is the most frequent spawn of this guy. DO NOT TAME AT DARK: they are twice as fast and can murder mounts as fast as a arthropluera ( the giant centipede ) also be careful as while its sleeping, it may look like a rock, make sure not to jump on a “ rock “ with a few tufts of fur.

Whatever you do, do not get close to it with pretty much any medium dinos or fliers because these thing can pick up fricking argies and monch them to death so keep a good distance between them, you and your tames. Trust me on this i lost a lot of things to these monsters.

It's easier to tame one during the day, since they will be sluggish. Find one in the Chitin Cave, and shoot it while it's sleeping.

185 points   ⚔️ Encountering   Nov 20, 2019   Report

How do they know if it’s day or night on the island if they spend all of their time sleeping in caves?

This creatures can actually make other dinos lose there aggro by doing its carrying techniques I used it on a spino and trike and it worked. Pls like and try it

I did this on mobile though

Im finnaly back guys! Average ARK player is back

Today we will look at the utilities and abilities of the Megalosaurus! So lets start and not waste time...

1.) BUFFS- Megalosaurus has a few tricks of its sleeve, despite being quite slugish during the day, in night you should really fear them since when its night this creature will have upgraded stats on its major stats like: Health, Melee Damage, Movement Speed. Which makes it more practically powerfull. So basically if you encounter one in night your just dead like acctually you can also find them on Mobile but only spawn in the Chamber Cave (Location: Middle of Map) and only seen in the pool of waters and near the Artifact, thats why some night tribes A.K.A (Night Raiders) often use these guys during sunset since they get their buff at 10:00 in the ARK Time.

2.) ABILITIES- Ok so lers move on to this guys abilities. So basically this creature is one of the first land dinos to pick up other creatures (not to mention the Mammoth, and Karkinos) so it could pick up a Dodo-a Baryonyx which is pretty ideal if you dont have a flier yet and best of all you can yeet them away from your jaw with a cool animation.

3.) TRIVIA (CUSTOM)- Did you know that Megalosauruses name in Old Greek Mytholigy in Latin stands for " Great Lizard"? And also did you know that Megalosaurus is the first dinosaur to be discovered! At first Scientist found a tooth which resembled like an horn/crest so they thought Megalosaurus was a 4 legged lizard but in the early 2000's we now know that Megalosaurus is a 2 Legged Carnivore.

Thats it for today guys!

Have a great day
