I play on my fiancé’s account a fair amount (mainly to do some of the tedious things like getting metal, turning it into ingot, making narcotics, stuff like that.) I was flying around in the forest on one of the bigger islands south of red ob, just vibing, considering taming something if I found something I liked. I was kinda eyeballing a carno, when from behind me, one of these comes zooming, in a fight with a pack of dilos. I watched as this beast killed a good chunk of that herd AND the carno before sadly falling to one of the last dilos. I was didn’t get the level on it but I was highly impressed. I’m more tempted than ever to tame one.

Like many other creatures, the buff of wild Megatherium is applied on sight of the target (all kind of arthropods) rather than after performing the action needed to activate it once tamed (killing), so don't expect to tackle one while there are any tamed or wild arthropods nearby, including even the strongest of the Mantis trained in melee.

It is also worth note that wild Megatherium will become aggressive when the buff is activated, so stay clear of them unless you have means to take it down.

I would recommend fighting the broodmother with these guys they are much easier to tame than a rex they spawn in the snow area which is very dangerous I recommend using a wyvern or a quetzal to pick them bringing them to a safe area trust me if you imprint a army the brood mother would not be a problem not even a alpha one because they have that bug buff which deals even more damage DON’T go for a rex these guys are a better option they much easier to tame up so many people should know❤️👍

My hate for these guys is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

Here I was chilling on a rock right outside my base with my sweet Jerboa on my shoulder. I had tamed this jerboa because I saw it roaming around alone as a baby. And I named it Poor Baby because it didn’t have a mom. I decided I’d be its mom. So anyways we’re just chilling on a rock, and my dumb self thinking these mesotheliomas weren’t aggressive was SHOCKED when one walked by and slapped me and Poor Baby into another time zone. Because it saw a BUG. An oil jug bug to be exact. We both died. RIP Poor Baby!
