Megascarabs are hazardous to hunt, for if they are injured by a human or a mechanoid, they will turn [[Mental break#Manhunter|manhunter]] and attack any human or mechanoid on the map they can reach. If slain, they can be butchered for insect meat. Colonists dislike eating any insect meat, but meat-eating animals have no such problem. |

+ | Megascarabs are the smallest and fastest of the 3 insectoid types, and will often catch up to colonists and "lock" them into melee. It may be wiser to focus on bigger targets, like [[megaspider]]s, as they are stronger in combat. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[Melee block]] tactics work well against infestations in general. In an open field, [[kiting]] works well, as even megascarabs are slower than a healthy human. | ||

− | + | Megascarabs offer no real niche as a tamed pet, however they ''can'' be tamed. Unlike the larger insects, they can be non-hostile, and are found naturally in deserts. | |

− | Megascarabs | ||
− | + | Megascarabs are unable to reproduce. While insectoids have a gestation time defined, due to their breeding type, ''EusocialInsect'', they are unable to actually reproduce when tamed. (Wild insects reproduce via [[hive]]s) | |
