Overview
The Megachelon is a large omnivore that serves as a Soaker. It utilizes a special passive taming method involving fish swarms to initiate bonding. This creature excels in underwater traversal and resource soaking tasks. It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Karkinos for fast deployment.
It does not gather resources while ridden but provides utility through its unique taming and environmental interaction mechanics.

Taming
Taming the Megachelon requires a special passive method. First, locate a swarm of small fish and guide them toward the Megachelon while swimming nearby. The taming process begins when the fish are near the creature. Use a Bear Trap or Large Bear Trap to immobilize it during the process. Plant Species Y can also be used to keep it in place.
The process takes time. Use the calculator below for your settings.
To tame the Megachelon, employ a passive approach. First, locate a cluster of small fish. Then, guide them towards a Megachelon. As you swim alongside the turtle with the fish swarm, the taming process will commence.
Drops & Harvest Resources
Killing a Megachelon yields Hide, Raw Meat, Raw Prime Meat, and Shell Fragment. The Hatchet yields the most Hide and Shell Fragment, while the Pick maximizes Raw Meat. For Raw Prime Meat, use a dino with Prime harvesting capabilities.

| 5%~3~38 hits | 5%~3~30 hits | |
| 38%~46~38 hits | 57%~71~30 hits |
Estimates based on game-extracted data (weights, quantities, harvest multipliers, damage type chains). Each harvest event independently rolls each resource - higher weight = higher drop chance. Actual yields vary with RNG.
