Dossier

Wild: Much like the Island’s other large theropods, Megalosaurus noctedominus is an aggressive carnivore that should not be taken lightly. Unlike most of the other theropods, it is a primarily nocturnal creature. As dawn approaches, Megalosaurus begins looking for a secluded place to spend the day sleeping in relative safety.

Domesticated: While Megalosaurus is not the most powerful theropod, it is still highly sought after by night-raiders. Due to its nocturnal nature, Megalosaurus becomes much more formidable at night — dodging attacks, conserving stamina, and attacking more accurately, to name a few of its enhanced talents.

Known Information: Conversely, if disturbed during the day, Megalosaurus is significantly more sluggish. Either way, however, its primary combat tactic is to bite onto its target, then lock its jaws shut in an iron-strength grip. Only larger creatures can hope to break free once Megalosaurus locks its jaw. The creature then proceeds to gnaw on its prey until death. It’s a terrifying, grisly spectacle to watch, and a formidable tactic for a tribe to employ against more nimble targets.

Special Ability

The dossier states that the Megalosaurus will endure a boost at night, since it is a nocturnal creature. It can conserve stamina, dodge attacks more easily and attacks more accurate when it is night, but there could be even more enhancements when the creature is actually released. This will create a much more dynamic gameplay, as the creature is different depending on the time of day. We’re excited to see how this is going to be implemented and if more creatures will be affected by the day/night cycle in the near future.
