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.

The Megalosaurus is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the DMG category.

Melee starts at 100% - decent hitting power that scales with level-ups. At 1,025 base HP, the Megalosaurus is solidly tanky. Stamina sits at 300 base, providing moderate endurance. It carries 300 base Weight - a solid weight pool.

The Megalosaurus is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Superior Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.

After taming, the Megalosaurus is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 26°C–32°C temperature window. A wild Megalosaurus is worth 25 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.34 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
