If you encounter a wild one, Ned Flanders has a famous saying about the Megatherium;

"If it's calm and brown, you're in passive town!

"If it's head is red, you're as good as dead"

If you see these and you are not riding at least a t-rex, RUN! these guys deadl INSANE amounts of damage, the one lvl. 50 killed my 2 lvl. 150 ankylos and a lvl. 200 pt. I needed to move couse of these things in extinction. And dont get near them, if you dont want to get killed of course.

Don’t use a fakin saber tooth on a lvl 16 your gonna lose them unless they are level 38 saber Lost Black Panther 😂

To cheese set down stone pillar and let it kill you return and it will only attack pillar doing no damage the just shoot it till it dies (don't let it kill you too close to the pillar or you won't be able to retrieve your stuff without it attacking you, about 10ft away should be safe)

My 145 mutton tamed direwolf 5k health 300 melee" got smoked by a lvl 50 that had the buff activated. I never even saw the mega... Highly underestimated creature!

If you're in the snow biome you shouldn't worry about them too much. But If you're in the redwoods keep track of where these guys are at all times cause any second the game could spawn ants or dragonflies out of nowhere and if you are anywhere close to thi guy kiss your ass goodbye. I speak from experience, i lost a pack of hyenadon i had just tamed to this guy.

They are way faster than they look if you hit them. Like galimimus fast

When a chalicotherium meets a wooly mammoth meets a Dire Bear

Stay as far away as you can from these things if your on a Rex or a Allo. They will mess your Dino up. I was just riding my Rex on a beach with my allo following and two of them came and killed my allo and got my Rex from 4000 hp to 439 hp in like 2 minutes. Then since they can’t just stop at that they are also faster that my Rex so they just kept hitting it while I was running. My Rex lived Bc I ran behind a stego and it just started attacking the stego. So just stay the frick away from these sloth things Bc they want to eat your Dino’s a**. Have fun playing Ark knowing these things exist.

Where do you find these guys on mobile?

When I encountered it it was a lvl 190 and my argentavis was a 600 hundred but I was trying to tame it my argy with 25 k health was knocked down to half health

If this giant sloth has a red glow on it or is near bugs. You have two choices run for your life or get ready to loose most your Dino’s.

Find the R version on Gen2, Eden zone South section.

Do not attack unless you have gear but if you attack do you are a dare devil.

The R variant is amazing! Found just south of the tek trench on gen 2!

It's good to not go near it when enraged with bug tthing because it will attack you

Keep your Mantis far away from these guys. A lvl.25 mega will toss your 300 Mantis in 1 foul swoop...

This thing damn near killed my Mantis good thing my mantis was imprinted and super fast

Stay away if it starts a range meter! (That's when it start to attack bugs and it's a red glow kinda like the alpha glow)

I lost 2 sabers lvl 50+ and a lvl 60 iguanodon. Rip Fall,Midnight and Tigress

If he eats sap your dead so stay away from things
