## Behavior (Wild)

Megaloceroses are usually found in groups or on their own. They will usually leave the player alone, and they may attack another one of their kind every once in a while. Attacking one Megaloceros however will cause all nearby Megaloceroses to either run away or fight back.

## Combat

Megaloceros are unpredictable, as their reactions towards attackers are extremely random. If they fight back, there's a good chance that others may join in, but since they're weak they are pretty easy to kill. If they run away, swiftness potions or a fast mount like the Utahraptor can help out.

## Taming

Taming the Megaloceros is as simple as giving them Berry Treats, Grassy Treats, or Leafy Treats. You can then use any form of crops or berries to make them grow up and heal them.

## Utility

Megaloceros are essentially a poor man's Triceratops, but their best advantage is their speed which is equal to that of a Utahraptor and their ability to pounce. Though they may be replaced by Utahraptors later on, they can be kept for their ability to harvest thatch, planks, and leaves from trees until you can tame the Apatosaurus.

Their charge ability can come in handy as you can use it to get around your world quickly, and maybe even shred forests and jungles.

Megaloceros can be used to harvest a variety of items from all trees.
