Are you enjoying MOBILE ARK? You can tame them at dungeon.

They appear only in dungeon at mobile.

At least, I met them at RMX : The Quickening.

If you met them, Kill them and keep their implant. You have to bring back the dead from obelisk, resurrection Platform etc. Because we can't tame them in dungeon.

Then all preparation to tame them is finished.

I recommend to build trap because of preventing situation they go far.

They mostly like honey(we can't make megalania kibble they prefer at mobile).

They will be strong warrior especially at cave, Also their power got their effect is stronger than Rex.

I would highly recommend getting one of these big boys. Me and one of my boys got a 140 earlier today and I must say he is quite the Dino. His name is Pablo and he is a beast. Got his health to 10k and his melee to 350 then took him down to the swamp cave on the island. Pablo single handedly wiped the entire big population in that cave and in the process got me from level 96-100. Most importantly you can sit these guys which is what really sold me. Anyways I’d highly recommend getting one of these sloths.

DO NOT BRING BUGS ANYWHERE NEAR THIS GUY! I was coming back home from the redwoods with some new times riding on my scorpion and I tried to just pass by him but he immediately aggroed my scorpion and all of my other tames. 15 tames died in a matter of seconds. Only the level 80+'s survived.

So even though I’ve never had a megatherium, is still know how useful they can be. They are omnivores which means they cAn harvest berries, wood, and even Dinos. They also get a buff for killing bugs which makes them stronger. But the problem is that your heart will suffer trying to get megatherium. And believe me I feel those players that try to get mega implant on mega dungeon a billion times but still fa8l and the give up and then write a review beging for mega to be on the outer world in game.(I did those things). Hope this helps! Stay strong with bugs my friends!🐞🐛🐜🦟🪲🪳🕷️

A lvl 15 killed 7 high-level dimorphs. They were taking him out at first then It started secreting a red mist and wiped them all out myself included

He is basically the incarnation of a gorilla god if he gets his hand on any bug. He will obliterate any who stand before him and rip the chitin from your very soul. Cause if you didn’t have chitin before now be prepared to have to much of it. The only downside of this literal demy god is that it’s hard to get his fat furry ass anywhere cause he is humungous.

Yes these ARE on switch/Nintendo (whatever you want to call it) I’ve tamed most of my megatheriums on switch they usually are in redwoods/blue ob

I use these guys for boss fights they are amazing if you have enough of them

You never know what you've got until it's gone. Actually I knew exactly what I had and that was my mega. The BEST at gathering chitlin or keratin. I'd take him to a spot with a lot of bugs and after 2 mins I'd have stacks and stacks of chit/keratin. I left him on a boat while I took my argys to get some obsidian real fast and ended up running into 3 spinos. Took a while to kill 2 and tame the 3rd while fending off tickle chickens then on the way back I found a gigantithicus or whatever the sasquatch is and followed him around shoving berries in his ass until he was tamed and by the time I got back to my raft base with the spino and harry my mega was dead..... I've spent 2 days looking for another and can't find one. I saw them ALL THE TIME until I'm looking for one lol.

The saddle unlocks at level 52. It costs 24 engrams points

Like the Therizino, but gathers more thatch than wood. Also, this thing has really good weight.

One day I went out on extinction, leaving my enforcers behind, not realizing that when you create a enforcer, it is set on passive to start. Then while I was out, I see “your EEGR (LV 35 enforcer) was killed by a magetheriem LV 30!” I ran as fast as I could but I was to late. I avenged my enforcers by killing the megatheriem, but it was not the same after that.

One up: one player who does not make my same mistake again.

R.I.P EEGR and GHRA 😔

Can be put in a procoptodon (kangaroo) pouch while it’s in a baby state

In contrast to what's been said, it does eat meat while being tamed. Works perfectly fine.

It doesnt say but these things are a godsend on scorched. Can collect alot of silk, cactus sap,fiber, and berries. If you take it out into the dessert and have a decent level megatherium you can kill deathworms and mantis' untill you get bored.

Hits harder than a drunk uncle I know from experience (not my uncle the sloth)
