Description[]
The Alpha Megalodaunt is a unique type of Megalodaunt most commonly found within the Depths and the Starswept Valley. In addition, they may also be found, curiously, inside the Crypt of the Unbroken located at Minityrsa, found hanging around in one of the libraries.
- “ Subordinate megalodaunts tend to pay close attention to the alpha of their territory, for reasons we cannot understand. Subject A has expressed the impressive ability to bring a creature as lazy as Subject C to his feet, a feat insurmountable to us, meager scholars. ”
As their name might suggest, they are the Alphas within a Megalodaunt Pack, and are considered as the dominant creature inside it's respective pack. However, Alpha Megalodaunts are never observed to be within a pack, and like other Megalodaunts, are usually found either idling alone, or fighting other things alone.
They are much stronger than their regular counterparts with their skin appearing as dark blue rather than pale. Whether or not this is the result of mutations remains unknown, though it is notable that they are capable of using Tacet, a murmur used to suppress one's own song to temporarily become unperceivable by other entities. In this case, it is used for hunting.
Despite all of the above, they behave like regular Megalodaunts.

The alpha turns invisible, with a white ring signifying where they are. After a few seconds, it will turn visible again, throwing out its entire body in a drop kick. This attack is rarely used. (Theorized that this move only occurs when the target is airborne, switching the attack when the Megalodaunt re-appears due to Tacet Hug being unlikely to land on a player who is high off the ground.)
