abberrant Megaolsaurus best tame on aberration?
Just noticed that the aberrant megalo seems to never sleep, tamed ones dont even have the sleep bar or sleep options. With out the sleep debuff, they are always at there strongest and they have the same health as a rex but higher attack and can grab, also unlike other aberration creatures that cant breed, gain 5.4 health/ 1.7 melee per point ( many only half that) or have a saddle, the megalosaurus can do all 3 and is easy to tame because of no more sleep mechanic making a max breed megalosaurus the strongest yet one of the easiest dinos to tame/get on aberration.

Yeah, they seem good.

I still think karkinos are the best thing to wait for up top. Once you have a goodnone use it to decend into the depths. They don't really take fall dmg, are tanky with good dmg. And their just lets them move around the land scape really well.

After them the rock drake seems best for getting around.

But the Megalosaurus and the basilisk seem like they're key for the boss fight, since they are so strong.
indeed he is the apex predator of abberation unless you wanna bring reapers or rockdrakes to the party but even then a reapers has bad stat gain and low max lvs and well i havent tested a rock drakes stats but i dont think their mor ethan a megalos. a nice change from the rex meta imo.

But the basilisk and karkinos cant breed so they cant get 30% incrwase in stats or the 30% extra resistanse and damage from rider, this makes them alot weaker, although more mobile.

abberant megas also give birth to normal megas due to a bug atm which requires a major fix i beleive this impacts their sleep ability severly last i heard.
I'm gonna be testing a gamma boss run with 17 Megalosaurus and 3 ridden basilisk for my tribe. The basilisk Spit attack bypasses resistances so they will be a good ranged Attacker.

actually reaper actually do have high max lv , the level 76 thing was a misconseption, watch lucky by nature second reaper video, although even with a max level of 225, the reapers bismal stat gain and no saddle makes it worse. Same with rock drake, bad stat gain.

That because normal.megas need sleep but this will soon be fixed.
