Combat notes

The Megapithecus (Beta) takes +400% more damage from spike walls, making them extremely effective. It is highly vulnerable to Instant HurtDinos, taking +120% damage. Conversely, it is immune to Mining Drill Harvest damage and resists Tek Pistol Kill by 82%. Melee attacks with ProjectileImpactFX and small ranged turrets are only half as effective.
