What it’s good at

Climbing walls and ceilings

Megalania has excellent mobility, as it is the one of the only creatures in Ark along with the , and the only creature outside of Aberration that can climb on walls and ceilings, while can only climb walls vertically, Megalania has the ability to climb them horizontally.

Mass Infector

The attack of a Megalania can infect a survivor with Rabies, a condition that constantly damages both health and stamina over time. In addition, someone with Rabies can spread it to others around them. An afflicted survivor cannot infect another who is riding the Megalania with that spread that strain of Rabies.

Cave Crawler

Its ability to traverse many surfaces makes it an almost ideal option for cave exploration, as you can skip most enemies with ease. Although its sub-par melee damage and slow attack may lead to struggled fights, and its turning radius will be troublesome when dealing with .

Surface Survivor

Because it is immune to radiation, it can be used as an alternative of the , but it won't be able to detect reapers like the Rock Drake does.

Damage

It does a pretty decent amount of damage if you handle the tame properly and utilize its Mega Rabies debuff carefully.

Ambushing Mount

Due to their ability to cling on walls, and the ability to allow you to use ranged weapons while mounted, they make for very good ambush mounts. The last thing most players will expect is to be sniped by a player clinging to a ceiling. Despite what the dossier says, the Megalania can not, unfortunately for beginners, climb trees, prior to what the dossier says.

Weight

Higher level megalania can easy have over two thousand pounds of weight for carrying resources around base.

Escape Vehicle

Because of their excellent mobility the megalania can be used to climb rocks, walls, trees and other surfaces that other animals can't access. This is a good way to escape dangers that players run into.

Megalania Toxin

Newly tamed and hatched Megalania will have 2 in their inventory. Hatching fertilized is one way of farming this tribute.
