problaby the most underrated creature in ark this thing is a beast, while they are hard to tame they can do up to 100 (night) and take on a rex bro they need more attention! every like is another person liking the megalosaurus

We need a coffe update for this thing

The megalosaurus is one of the strongest therapods, but its nocturnal sleeping pattern make it significantly less effective during the day. The megalosaurus can bite and even latch onto enemies — including humans — and swing them around, hindering their ability to move. This carnivore is stronger than a Carno or a Rex at night, but during the day, it is much more slow and sluggish.~Steel Cookie 123

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.

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...

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

Best boss carnivore of The Island, maybe better than theris. This things SHREDS bosses and doesn't need that great of a saddle due to bosses not targeting it, which keep in mind they are big enough for the boss to get stuck, but small enough they don't pull aggro.

Rexes have around 1.1k base HP and 62 damage

Megalos have around 1k and 75 damage ( at night )

If you can find these at a good level, which is kinda hard considering spawn rate, locations and spawn cap of ( iirc ) 4, it is worth it to use them for bosses.

Megalos are the best Island boss killers, rexes are overrated. Just remember to start boss fights as soon as they wake up, you REALLY want to time it correctly. " What about the Dragon? " They sneak under it and since they are not it's target, just keep away with your yuty and you shouldn't need to worry about the fire breaths. The Broodmother minions can sneak up to your yuty, bring a megatherium to sit by your side and help fend them off.

Megalos are a great option for boss fights, they work on other bosses and maps too but the night limitation makes them more useful on maps with shorter fights, they also don't really do much at the TEK cave, so pump your way out of the overseer fight or bring a specialized army for it.

Tip by Vinícius. Hope this helped and gave you a great Island ( and other maps) boss creature. This took some good time to make, so, if you liked the tip, you know what to do.

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.

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
