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 can’t 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 you’re 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, I’d 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 was riding my mega therium and tested the bite attack it harvested bushes gave me berries and fiber no sickle needed

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

I haven’t 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 don’t 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 it’s more effective than Beelzebufo itself

Finlay :)

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

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

Ah yes, the good ol bug eater. But can it eat bugs as much as we expect? Today I will test that out to fight the gamma, beta and alpha broodmothers! By the way the megatheriums aren’t mutated and are level 430-470

Gamma: Set them to aggresive for bug buff. Oh boy, soon they started SHREDDING the big spider. It died in about 1 minute and 30 seconds,

Beta: At about half hp she killed just one of them, but overall she died without any more casualties.

Alpha: Yknow the drill, aggresive. But she was pretty fast so the megatheriums got the bug buff early. But then she killed 3 at the SAME TIME. Things went pretty downhill from there. The megatheriums got her to 1/4th hp, but soon they were all mowed down.

So, what do i think? I think that megatheriums are really good for the broodmother! And keep in mind, these were UNMUTATED megatheriums.

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!

Use this beast to hit the burnt trees in Ragnarok to harvest tons of charcoal! Best way to make gunpowder!

It's great at collecting berries, fiber and chitin from insects/bugs. He also doesn't collect charcoal from the burnt trees near the volcano in ragnarok anymore. Great for fighting broodmother and doing artifact runs on the island and caves that are filled with insects. Definitely worth taming

you can make them sit, a must tame for any serious tribe

BEST CAVER FOR SCORCHED EARTH!!!

Can fit through all artifact caves with ease additionaly the caves are riddled with bugs so this sloth can just steamroll them with the insect killer buff. Or if ypu dont want to fight you can just walk past them 90% of the time.

Are these on Switch? I just got ARK on Switch yesterday, and I was wondering if I could tame one on the Island.

In my opinion one of the best land mounts in the game, slow turn radius and sprint speed are its only cons, great base health and damage, amazing base carry weight and good stamina make this my taming mount, at 4K health it can tank a Spino while I tranq it still riding which just sold it for me. It can gather berries well enough and it’s bug killer buff makes it a force to be reckoned with around any area with bugs or scorpions

Go out of your way to tame this thing, a high level mega is my go to land mount now
