More Megalosaurus Encountering Tips
Fun fact: megalosaurus (name translates to “big lizard”) was the first true dinosaur found. Discovered by Richard Owen, he thought it was quadrupedal (walked on all fours) and resembled a crocodile-lion cross. Later he would correct his data and soon classify this group of extinct line of ancient lizards as “Dinosaurs”.
Quetzal’s can’t pick up a Megalo but can pick up a Mammoth??
Pet it
THESE ARE ON MOBILE!!?
Incase nobody told you, this guy will grab your argy right out of the air, knocking you off the bird, then proceed to eat your bird in front of you. Un-bothered. Reason #1 to always pack ammo. Hind sight.
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.
I've seen them in the central cave on the island.
Can be found in Carno island cave, south west lava cave, south east cave near Stonehenge, Central cave near volcano, and possibly others. They are very rare spawns but if checked regularly you can encounter them if looking to tame.
If you go alone in a cave don’t if get to close they will wake up and attack you if you have any weapons use them 😨
If you see something that looks like a rock but not quite, ignore it. For your own sake ignore it. I ran too close to one and next thing I know me and my parasaur have four on our ass.
