There's a reason it's ranked 7th best melee in the game, run.

Passive and friendly unless it has recently killed a bug. After killing a bug it becomes “enraged” and will kill everything in sight. It will have an orange cloud around it if it is mad

If they have the bug buff, they will become aggressive and start attacking everything.

Since they are an apex predator, that means they will attack anything that a rex can attack, including brontos and mammoths.

MEGATHERIUM: Sound Triggered?

Towards Insects, hell yeah.

These things Ark Devs call Giant Sloths are the No.2 Producer of Chitin and Keratin.

You never have to worry about Cementing Paste Again!

Wild dinos ignore you while you are on it unless you attack them except for the giga, compy, pegomastax, carcharo, rex, and rhynio

If it has the red aura on it, don’t try to knock it out. Just wasted 50 tranqs when it had the aura, only took 12 without

They can go aggro out of no where in extinction (city) they usually have a red aroaura coming out of them ⬆️ To protect noobs from giant sloths

If he eats a ant he will go super sayan god and kill everyone so be careful because they can be more deadly than the dragon boss

For mobile players you can kill it in the dungeons I forgot which one but you will find out. Then grab it’s respawn artifact thing then get a respawn pad respawn it and build stone walls around so it does not get out and escape then tranq it out the easy way is to feed berries hard way is honey. Blow this up so peeps can see it

When attempting to knock out. Take into account the current 'state' they are in. Normal or Enraged.

Torpor acts normally during knock out if they are in their 'normal state' allowing for an easier knock out.

When they're in their 'Bug Rage' state, torpor drops insanely fast during attempts to knock them out. Resulting in darts being less effective, and the need for Tranquilizer Arrows Torpor over Time to help counter.

The reason for this, is due to the Bug Rage being a natural counter to the poisons of the various torpor inducing attacks of the Arks "Australian sized" insects.

If you or anything you have with you is carrying chitin they will attack you

These things can do alpha broodmother with no support just 20 imprinted ones, they do it in 15 minutes max.

If someone hasn't already I'd like to point out that these creatures are omnivores.

You can tame them in mobile so go to a dungeon kill one get his ark thingy and revive him at the obelisk up so all the mobile players know

For ark mobile users the mega is only in dungeons :/

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

In mobile, these only spawn in dungeons. Some dungeons. Also to tame you will need a revival platform and a good amount of ancient amber.

Crystal Wyverns do not pick them up... that is wrong info

Giant bee honey seems to work well for taming. They can be picked up by wyverns.

Absolute godsend for meat runs in caves. Only things that'll aggro up on it are Pirhana, Megalania and (presumably) Megalosaurus. Otherwise, everything else (including Arthropleura and Sarcos) won't aggro. Have at 'em!
