Overview
The Megaraptor is a carnivorous damage-focused dinosaur. It tames via a special passive ritual at an altar, requiring players to defend the site from waves of enemies. Once tamed, it excels in combat and can be airlifted by Quetzal or Tusoteuthis for rapid deployment.
It is primarily used for its high damage output and unique abilities in battle scenarios.
