I walked up to this thing cause it was in a rock, all i saw was its fluffy back, so i thought it was a resource , hit it, thought it was theriz so i ran. Saw name and ran faster

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??

You should probably run if you step on them. Especially when you jump on the “rock”

It’s very rare, but I think they spawn in Vikings bay on ragnarok, because I was killed by one in that little bone thingy

I think we need a picture of a sleeping Megalosaurus because he is difficult to see during the day

Pet it

For mobile players check the artifact of the clever cave

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.

These things are freaking dangerous even if you shoot them in the day since I decided to play around a bit with my riot gear and guns and shot one well my assault rifle broke and it just killed me in its mouth within ten seconds and I was a high level too so that sucked

This Dino is found in the cave in between volcano in big mountain. It’s not that hard to find in mobile.

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

Beware, when sleeping; they can look like rocks. I dont suggest jumping on them. So before you jump on a „rock” remember to take a good look at it to make sure its not a megalosaurus.

I was in a cave. I found a rock. I tried to get stone for kore arrows. It wasn't a rock. I died. It was one of these guys sleeping. I bearly made it back and got my still somehow alaive shinehorn.

I've seen them in the central cave on the island.

Don’t poke it... don’t just don’t

Be careful in caves....I swiped it with my sword thinking it was a carcass but it was sleep on the floor. Kept chopping and survived but yeah...watch it

During the day, they are very sluggish and attack slow. At night they are a frightening sight with much higher speed and attack. Beware when encountering them at night.

First one I ever saw was a lvl 20ish in Hunter Cave. Wiki does not reflect that as a spawn zone.

When i was exploring the island map i saw the chitin cave. I wasn't ready for the cave and i had to run out because i ran past 3 of these things. Good thing it was daytime. Go in the chitin cave during the day just saying
