Meganeura

The Meganeura is a giant dragonfly that cannot be tamed, ridden or bred. It matters because it swarms in wet woods and swamps, and its bites drain stamina until you can no longer sprint or climb.

Where to find it

It is common on most maps in both games, including The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Valguero and Extinction, and is a bit rarer on the Genesis maps. Swamps often hold large numbers.

Uses

Killing it gives Chitin and Raw Meat.

Tips

• Corpses: swarms gather on fresh carcasses and attack anyone who comes close, so back away from a busy corpse.
• Counter: spears or pikes stabbed upward, or tames with wide attacks such as a Stegosaurus, Ankylosaurus or Beelzebufo, clear swarms fast. Crouching keeps them circling low enough for melee.
• Water: it will not attack while you touch water.
• Flyers: swarms can quickly kill weak flyers such as a Pteranodon.
