Overview
The Megachelon is a large omnivore that serves as a Soaker. It utilizes a special passive taming method involving fish swarms to initiate bonding. This creature excels in underwater traversal and resource soaking tasks. It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Karkinos for fast deployment.
It does not gather resources while ridden but provides utility through its unique taming and environmental interaction mechanics.

More about taming the Megachelon
A Megachelon is tamed by bringing it a Parakeet Fish School, which the game renames a Microbe Swarm once it fixes on you. Find one in deep water and let it target you as a survivor rather than the creature you are riding, then lead it slowly to the Megachelon. From there progress runs off the swarm's health, so keeping the swarm alive is the whole job: Salmon and Coelacanth spawn specifically to eat it and have to be cleared as they arrive. Lose the swarm and the bar empties as fast as it filled.
Taming the Megachelon requires a special passive method. First, locate a swarm of small fish and guide them toward the Megachelon while swimming nearby. The taming process begins when the fish are near the creature. Use a Bear Trap or Large Bear Trap to immobilize it during the process. Plant Species Y can also be used to keep it in place.
The process takes time. Use the calculator below for your settings.
