<p>24.141.38.159: Edited incorrect information. In my opinion, it might be worthwhile to check for use of AI in generating some of the recent prehistoric creature text.</p> <hr /> <div>{{Quality|Tattered}}<br /> {{Creaturelookup/0}}<br /> {{av}}<br /> {{creaturedesc}}<br /> ''Megalania'' are large reptilian [[creature]]s that are the Cenozoic ancestors of modern [[monitor lizard]]s. They can be found in [[Surroundings#Savage|savage]] [[temperate]] [[grassland]]s and [[shrubland]]s as well as [[Forest|tropical dry broadleaf forests]]. They are solitary hunters and can easily wipe out unarmed citizens they come across. While [[Extinction#Extinct creatures|extinct]] in real life, their appearance is dependent on the settings chosen when [[World generation#Real world extinct creatures|creating a world]]. A young megalania is called a ''hatchling''.<br /> <br /> Megalania can be captured in [[cage]] [[trap]]s and [[Animal trainer|trained]] into exotic [[pet]]s. They can be further trained into war beasts; their bulk, quick maturity rate, rapid growth, and huge clutch size make them a definite upgrade from other military options such as [[grizzly bear]]s. Oddly, their eggs are slightly smaller than those of some much smaller egg-layers, making them a better choice for a [[meat industry]] rather than [[egg production]]. Megalania become adults after 1 year and reach their full size after 2.<br /> <br /> Megalania may appear as exotic [[mount]]s during [[siege]]s.<br /> <br /> Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] megalania for their ''great size''.<br /> <br /> {{D for Dwarf}}<br /> While they have great combat capabilities and are associated with fossilized bones deep underground, they have no relation to any ketchup-eating skeletons. If you [[Creature#Agitation|harm their environment]], though, you're still gonna have a bad time.<br /> {{gamedata}}<br /> {{Creatures}}</div>
