Overview

Aberrant Megalania is a medium-sized carnivore variant found in the Aberration. It deals increased melee damage and is highly effective in combat roles due to its resistance to certain attacks. It can be airlifted by Argentavis or Karkinos for fast deployment.

Tamed primarily for its combat prowess and structural damage capability, it excels in raids and base assaults where its high damage output and durability are maximized.

More about taming the Aberrant Megalania

Tame Aberrant Megalania using knockout methods. The best food is Extraordinary Kibble, which provides the fastest taming. Raw Mutton also works if kibble is unavailable. Use a Bola or Chain Bola to immobilize it initially.

Knock it out with Tranq Arrows from a Bow, Crossbow, or Compound Bow, or use a Longneck Rifle with Tranquilizer Darts. About 11 Extraordinary Kibble are needed. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Tips

  • The Bite attack deals 10 damage with a 0.5-second cooldown. Claw attacks hit for 16 damage every second, making them stronger in sustained combat.
  • It takes +120% more damage from attacks by other dinosaurs, so avoid bringing it into dino-heavy fights.
  • It is immune to damage from mining drills, useful when defending against drill-based raiders.
  • It can be carried by Argentavis, Karkinos, Megalosaurus, Quetzal, or Tusoteuthis for aerial or aquatic transport.
