Attacks

Name/Danger	Description	GIF
Slash (★★☆)	A short range Slash using their forearms, often used four or more times in a row or paired with a kick. Heavy posture damage. Will commonly block break after two hits. 𓆩✧𓆪 Parryable ⛊ Blockable § Dodgeable
Kick (★★★)	The Megalodaunt will flash red before delivering a Kick that can rag-doll and send the player flying. Causes the player to be Dazed if kicked into a wall. This ability is very dangerous as it can send you into unwanted situations. This ability is blockable, although you need alot of posture to block it. Commonly avoided by walking or running sideways, as the hitbox has little width. Animation changes to a "Bite" attack if the Megalodaunt is swimming but still functions the same as a normal kick. Creates the longest duration in which this beast doesn't attack, letting you freely hit it more than the other attacks allow. ☣ Unparryable ⛉ Unblockable § Dodgeable ⤻ Ragdoll
Thousand Needles (★★☆)	The Megalodaunt bends over and points its coral tubes towards an opponent, spewing a large and constant spray of coral shards at anyone in front of/around it for a second. Easily parryable. There is a shorter ranged AOE version and a longer range, individual target version. Both function the same. 𓆩✧𓆪 Parryable ⛊ Blockable § Dodgeable
Roar (☆☆☆)	Lets out a Roar at nearby targets, initiating combat and inflicting a generous amount of Insanity and Fear. Blocking negates much of but not all the insanity gain. Increases posture damage against all players affected by the roar, similarly to Ardour Scream. ¤ Debuff ⚠︎ Unparryable ⛊ Blockable § Dodgeable
Cero (★★★)	The Exotic Megalodaunt raises its entire body upwards, opening its jaws to begin charging up a dark orb. Once fully charged, It hunches back down, firing a massive laser beam at its target. If the player is low enough, It will AUTO-GRIP them. This is its most dangerous move. Players executed by the Cero move will be completely vaporized and will not drop a loot bag for others to interact with. Can either fire it immediately or delay its use of the laser beam. Watch carefully for what it will try to do. ⚠︎ Unparryable ⛉ Unblockable § Dodgeable
Feint (★★☆)	The Exotic Megalodaunt feints their attack, mixing up their opponent. This can chain into a different move eg: Slash feint into a Kick. ☕︎ Harmless «» Misc.
Jump (☆☆☆)	If the target is above it, the Exotic Megalodaunt will Jump at the direction of it's opponent to close the distance. Often used after Kick. ☕︎ Harmless ⟡ Movement

Finisher

Name	Description
Curb Stomp	The Megalodaunt ends its opponent's life by delivering a stomp onto their bodies with a gruesome crunch. This happens in less than a second. This attack has an AOE effect which can be parried similar to the Rock Golem's stomp.

Passives

• Thick Hide - Exotic Megalodaunts automatically extinguish burn.

Tips

• The Exotic Megalodaunt will often use multiple attacks in quick succession (including the same attack twice in a row) with very little downtime in between each attack. This paired with the monster being very fast and dealing high damage per hit makes it a very dangerous foe.
• Their thousand needles (either variant) can be parried by simply tapping F once due to Autoparry frames, and allows you to get as many hits in as a Kick would.
• Do not try to stat check this mob because it will most likely kill you faster than you can kill it
• Try to get help in killing it as in one person can parry it and the others can deal damage
• Run It Back makes it way easier.

Passives

• Monster Resistance: Has an innate ~25% resistance to physical hits.

Trivia

• This Megalodaunt variant was created by Agamatsu.
