Used to be the best charcoal harvester but after the latest patch, it can't even knock down the burnt trees on Ragnarok. They have no use now.
More Megatherium Utility Tips
Wild dinos ignore you while you are on it unless you attack them.
Think of your favorite tame... that was cute. Introducing you to your new favorite tame, GOD... I mean megatherium. Sorry, with one kill of a bug they are very hard to tell apart. You remember waking up on the beach naked and running away from those drones? Yeah, now they will have nightmares of a big ass sloth frothing at the mouth for their demise. Giga making you worry next door? Nothing a Megatherium or 20 and some bug crack canβt fix. I promise you getting one of these changed my life. Collects Chiton pretty good I guess. If pretty good is you throwing out 16K cause youβre slot capped. Your future daughter will call this tame daddy, if you already have a daughter... you should have had a son.
IT CAN SIT DOWN, THE WORLD MUST KNOW
Very good for gathering berries,thatch and fiber and very good for fighting the broodmother because of the buff they get when they kill bugs.
350% melee = 1000 chitin per arthropleura, 500 per scorpion, 400 per spider. THE MACHINE
Megatheriums are one of if not the absolute best way to defeat the Brood Mother, for instance it can easily obliterate any and all cave dwellers that guard the artifacts necessary to summon this demonic demigod. It also receives a damage boost when they kill any invertebrates and therefore, it is essential to use in the boss fight. When paired up with a Yuti and Deadon these killing machines are completely unstoppable; although, Iβd recommend both high levels and great saddles.
Please like to help those of whom are planning on beating the Brood Mother.
14 of these, three Yutyrannusses and 3 Daeodons can and will kill The Broodmother on every difficulty
I havenβt tried this myself but if you get a Megatherium and a Beelzebufo and set the Megatherium to aggressive on some bugs and set it to donβt harvest victims you can use the Beelzebufo to harvest them and get a lot of cementing paste you could just use the Beelzebufo but I think the combo is better
First tip please try it and let me know if itβs more effective than Beelzebufo itself

If someone hasn't already I'd like to point out that these creatures are omnivores.
THIS DUDE IS LITERALLY A THERI ON CRACK its attacks have wider area damage then a theri, its faster then a theri, it does more damage then a theri, it collects fiber with the default attack, it excels in collecting thatch, chitin, and it has bug buff
