=== Abilities ===

*'''[[Special Abilities|Special Ability]]''': Titled "'''Evasive Maneuver'''" – Allows you to leap backwards, away from danger. Additionally, once Evasive Maneuver begins, you are immune to all damage until you either touch the ground, or until 1.25 seconds have elapsed. Whichever happens first. Evasive Maneuver's jump distance can be controlled by how long the player holds down the Ability key. While holding the Ability key, a small charge bar will show above the player's head, indicating how far the player will jump when the key is release. After the key is released, the megaraptor will crouch for a fraction of a second and then leap back. You do not become invulnerable until the leaping portion of this ability begins.

*'''[[Primary Attack|Primary Attack]]''': A standard [[Bite|bite]]. It deals medium damage and inflicts little [[Bleeding|bleed damage]].

*'''[[Secondary Attack|Secondary Attack]]''': A Slash Attack, inflicting high [[Bleeding|bleed]] and moderate damage, while having an very high DPS (Damage per Second). Press-and-hold attack where it continuously swipes with its claws and consuming ability power while the key is held. You cannot sprint while using Slash Attack. Additionally, while using Slash Attack, you walk a little bit slower. Slash Attack can be held indefinitely until the player runs out of ability power. Slash Attack stops immediately when the Secondary Attack key is released.

==Tips==

*A [[Groups|pack]] is a necessary when playing as Megaraptor, the more the better.

*Skilling it's unique [[Talents|Evasive Maneuver talent]] should be a must as it highly increases the jumping distance and decreases how fast you have to charge it.

*[[Talents#Speed_Talents|Speed]] and [[Talents#Combat_Talents|Combat Tree]] are recommended, as a 3/3 [[Talents#Swiftness|Swiftness]] Megalosaurus can still outrun a normal Megaraptor.

== Weakness ==

Creatures who deal [[Injury|injury]] should be avoided unless skillful, as a limping Megaraptor is easy prey for even the unless harmless of creatures. Also Megaraptor seems very vulnerable to [[Stress|stress]] so big herds should be avoided.

==Additional Notes==

* Alongside the Megalosaurus, Megaraptor is one of the fastest-swimming non-aquatic playable creatures, becoming a fairly competent swimmer when the [[talents#aqua_affinity|aqua affinity]], [[talents#strong_lungs|strong lungs]] and [[talents#resilience|resilience]] talents are maxed out. Due to this, it can be an excellent dinosaur for island hopping, though it is especially vulnerable to aquatic predators if used in such a way.
