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.

They are at night really good and have a buff but on Day they have to sleep. When u ride them on Day they will lose stamina and torpor is growing fast.

Extremely good for night raiding, if of course you manage to find one AND tame it

When out at night, be sure to take this with a raft or quetzal with platform, so when it is tired, you can get it back to base without it being attacked. Just a tip to ensure that your prized Megalosaurus doesn't die whilst you are out.

These guys can hold things such a parasaurs and argentavis in their mouth without damaging them. This is great for bringing smaller creatures to a safe taming location.

On abberation they don't sleep and are very powerful

If a creature or player becomes bugged out in its mouth (i accidentally grabbed a player and a pter in one bite, refused to drop the pter) simply tranq whatever it is holding to sleep, it will drop it.

Got one in baby stage now on 338 official, keep it unconscious during the day (make it stay awake) it goes through food liek it does at night. This one while sleeping in the day eats 1 meat a second, its insane

Use this dino on aberration its always buffed cuz its on a cave and it resist radiation

Imo the most underestimated creature (only use him during night) great for farming leather, great dps, great meat and prime meat farmer and very funny to grab other creatures with rightclick and eat them very fast...give this dinosaur an own TV show

Do not attempt to make it sleep while carrying something or the creature being carried will be bugged for life. as off patch v254.96

Be wary that the Megalosaurus received a major nerf in the form of the latest raptor TLC. Raptors can now dismount Megalosaurus riders and seem to attack them on sight. Megalosaurus often use their grab attack while the raptor will still have you pinned even while it is in the Megalosaurs mouth. The raptors allies will then proceed to eat you and then kill you in that order.

You will find them in a cave at ragnorok at 17 44

The aberration baby version also doesn't sleep during the day.

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!

These guys are super helpful when it comes to tamiing small and med creatures. We have one persone hold the tame with the megalo, and the other tranqs it. Not bolas, no chasing or running around. You also get to choose where the pass out so which is very helpful. Your megalo, May take a couple hits, but most tames don’t hurt enough for it to be a problem.

With their ability to capture larger animals and certain flying creatures within their mouth and hold them without draining stamina and even holding them without aggro, and their ability to not Agro any wild creature even when attacking it, they can prove to be an excellent PVE and possibly PVP mount. Note that they are quite difficult to get an even more difficult to breed. Otherwise the effort is well worth it as if you utilize it right it can serve as a very good mount.

1.) ensure your base is in an inaccessible place for raiders tames, but enough room to hatch eggs.
2.) breed 20-30 of these psychopaths. theyll act as bolas for anyone who comes inside.
3.) lots of turrets and px.
4.) now you have anti theft.

Best in abberation not that good otherwise only good at night

For SE hope one spawns near the beginning of the blue cave getting one out is really hard and most likely have to be done during the night since if heir sleep meter is too high they will drown because they won't swim to the surface.
