Overview
The Magmasaur is a large omnivore farmer creature. It reduces the weight of Metal, Metal Ingot, and Ambergris in its inventory, making it highly efficient for resource transport. This reduction allows survivors to carry more valuable resources with less encumbrance. It can be carried by Tusoteuthis for aerial deployment.
The Magmasaur is primarily tamed to assist in heavy hauling operations while benefiting from reduced weight on key resources.

More about taming the Magmasaur
Magmasaur is tamable by stealing an Egg.
Taming a Magmasaur requires collecting and hatching its egg, as it is an egg-tame creature. The best food for taming is Raw Prime Fish Meat, which provides the highest affinity gain. Raw Mutton also works well if Raw Prime Fish Meat is unavailable. To immobilize it during taming, use a Chain Bola, Bear Trap, or Large Bear Trap. The process takes approximately 30 minutes with optimal settings. Use the calculator below for your settings.

About gathering
While ridden, the Magmasaur gathers efficiently using its Bite and Claw attacks, yielding up to 9× multipliers on resources like Metal, Crystal, Flint, and Element Ore. Its VentForge ability harvests plant-based resources such as Mejoberry, Narcoberry, and Rare Flower with a 10× multiplier. This makes it ideal for targeted farming of high-value crops and rare materials.

Combat notes
Magmasaur takes +400% damage from SpikeWall attacks, making it extremely vulnerable to defensive spike walls. It is highly resistant to Projectile Fire and Mining Drill Harvest, taking -100% damage from both. Melee attacks with metal weapons deal +55% damage, so use Metal-based tools to exploit its weakness. Avoid using fire-based weapons, as they are completely ineffective.
Can break Metal structures. Build at least in Tek.
