Overview
Meganeura is a small flying insectivore classified as a Misc creature. It cannot be tamed by survivors. Despite its size, it plays a role in the ecosystem as a common flyer that damages structures. It can be carried by aerial creatures such as Quetzal or Phoenix for transport across maps.
The Meganeura is primarily encountered in large swarms and is known for its vulnerability to many damage types, making it easy to eliminate when necessary. It does not serve a utility role for players beyond its presence as environmental fauna.

Drops & harvest resources
Compare recorded corpse resource yields by harvesting tool.
SettingsHarvest body HP 50 · Player melee % 100 · Weapon damage % 100 · Harvest rate × 1
Chitin~340% · ~2 hits
Raw Meat~260% · ~2 hits
Cementing Paste~00% · ~2 hits
Each harvest event rolls resources independently. Actual yields vary.
Killing a Meganeura yields Chitin, Raw Meat, and Cementing Paste. The Dino (Omnivore) harvest tool provides the most Chitin, while the Pick maximizes Raw Meat yield. A Chitin Weapon is best for gathering Cementing Paste.
