Basic Info
- Appearance
Ugly.
- Encounter
Similar to the Deathworm, the Megatalpidae is encountered as a mound of rumbling dirt. They cannot be interacted with while in the ground except by a tamed Megatalpidae, but are highly aggressive and will erupt from the ground when an enemy is nearby. Unlike the Deathworm, the Megatalpidae can move around above the ground as well but loses interest very quickly.
Domestication
The Megatalpidae is capable of burrowing, moving just beneath the surface similar to this modded creature. While moving beneath the ground, movement will only be obstructed by deep rocks and foundations; with trees being uprooted. I have no decided if this should harvest the trees, or simply be a visceral thing - like a stampeding giga. Similar to the Deathworm, a patch of disturbed dirt is all the signifies a burrowed Megatalpidae.
