TemperamentPassive
- Wild
The Archelon is a large and graceful turtle, which wandered seagrass fields and the open ocean, feeding on the flora and defending itself and its brethren from predators. While fairly strong, many carnivores still decide to battle it. Interestingly, it is unfazed by jellyfish and their stings, and consumes their toxins, which it somehow processes into a healing substance for itself.
- Domesticated
Archelon is somewhat shy when confronted nonviolently, and cautious of those who approach it. Being near them long enough, they may gain trust in you. They seem even less perturbed when you are doing something rather than staring at it, and busying yourself crafting or harvesting. Once comfortable with your presence, fully gain its trust with food it enjoys.
Archelons shell, while not as tough as a carbonemys, is still very strong, making it a rather strong armored mount. However the reason most tribes domesticate Archelon are for its oily healing secretions. While the biotoxin only helps itself heal, some other substances have been found to have varying healing properties, including the ability to heal others.
In addition to this healing ability, the Archelon can use its powerful beak to harvest chitin, stone, and even metal, making it an extremely useful mount. To make it even better, the extra weight doesn’t seem to affect its ability to swim, effectively reducing the weight of these materials.

Wild Stats Level-up
Type in values of a wild creature to see on which stats it's emphasized. Green values on a high-level creature are very good for breeding. If you have already tamed your creature you can try to recover the breeding stats with an external tool.[1]
Oceania/Medichelon
The stat-calculator does not work in the mobile-view, see here for alternatives: Apps
Note that after the creature is tamed it gets bonuses on some stats depending on the taming effectiveness. This makes it hard to retrieve the levels on a tamed creature, so this tool is only for wild ones, but gives a first impression, how well the stats are distributed.
Combat
This section describes how to fight against the Medichelon.
General
Medichelon is often found in large packs of 3-5 and has strong bites.
Strategy
Its best to take care of Medichelon with a strong dino, or on land, or with a Orkronosaurus pack, which Medichelon is weak to.
Weaponry
Medichelon is well armored, and is not very weak to ranged weapons, and may take lots of hits, strong weapons recommended.
Dangers
Their large numbers and crushing bite can quickly drain health, and they tend to attract attention of carnivorous water creatures that can further harm you.
Weakness
Medichelon has a slower turn radius and takes more damage from Orkronosaurus. Additionally, on land, Medichelon is very slow, unable to use its crushing bite, and can be defeated much easier.
