Each hit on a corpse generates resource drops based on damage dealt. The game randomly picks a resource from the corpse's loot table for each drop. Higher melee depletes the corpse faster, which can reduce total drops. All dinos get the same resource distribution from a given corpse - the difference is total drops from base damage.

Found throughout the ARKs, the Megalania is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the DMG category.

Its base Stamina of 400 gives it good endurance. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Megalania has respectable melee power. With 480 base Health, the Megalania is decently sturdy. Weight capacity starts at 400, giving it good carrying capacity.

You'll need to knock the Megalania unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Extraordinary Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.

As a tame, the Megalania is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 29°C and 35°C. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.85 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
