-1 points   🔧 Utility       Report

Their use is very limited due to the fact that you can only use it at night. During the day, if you keep it awake, it's stamina will drop very fast and upon reaching 0, it will start gaining torpor very fast which ultimately leads it to fainting.

If you get stuck out during the day, you can stop and set it to sleep to regain stamina and reduce torpor and hopefully rinse and repeat until you can get home. Be very careful if you carry it with flying mount, if it sleeps or faints you will drop it.

In PvE you are unable to pick up wild dinosuars, which limit's its use even further.

Even at night, while it's attacks are powerful, it isnt a first choice simply due to it's stamina. While longlasting, it regains stamina painful slow, keep it in mind if you need to flee!

At night it’s one of the STRONGEST carnivores, much stronger than a Rex, 1 megalosaurus can even wipe out groups of Alos.

During the day it’s a cute sleeping base accessory.

I wish I could pet those fluffy babies.

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...

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.
