Re-add Megalania tail attack
Currently megalania is kind of underpowered right now it has a weak fast attack and has terrible stamina and honestly the removal of it's tail attack made it easier to kill by letting other dinos with better agility and stam easily get free attacks by getting behind it, bringing back it's tail attack would help it stack more damage in its fights not only that modern day monitor lizards tails are their best weapons so it makes no sense to remove it

Meg should have the ability to drop his tail off of his body and then get a huge burst of speed. Then it regrows after a while -

Q / AstralarchivistPycno's new "Knockout" wouldn't be a bad choice for it, Monitors coil their tails up before whipping as a defensive display

Q / AstralarchivistOr something like Mira's Lash. That's another thing monitors often do

Theg3ckothis is a amazing idea, i love the idea of a windup tail as well. maybe it has one tail slot and it can choose between a heavy charged tail attack that does a lot of damage(because real monitor lizards have powerful tails) or it can get a quick tail attack that maybe knocks back a large amount and resets momentum.

Q / Astralarchivist"Cruel Whip"
Deals knockback to lighter opponents, and low - medium damage to heavier opponents.
(15-20, Ignores weight. 3-4 second cooldown) -

Q / AstralarchivistHonestly it's one of 3 carnivores that make the MOST sense to be given tail attacks.
All monitors use their tails as their primary defensive, and often offensive tool.
With other carnivores getting jukes, dodges, and turn-buffs, Mega should have a whip instead. It also got slowed down and turn-nerfed recently.

Q / AstralarchivistHard pass on Mega dropping it's tail. It's physically impossible for monitors, and it's also just too goofy an ability for it.
IF it gets anything like that, it NEEDS to be Optional. -

XxSHAD0WxXAgreed, monitor lizards in real life (which are very similar to megalanias) use their tail as a whip!

XxSHAD0WxXIt would also be a cool idea for meg to be able to drop its taill and get a speed buff, just like modern lizards

SolarThe tail hit box is so big. This would be so peak cause monitors can do this and meg needs from offense on its tail

AstalphThere's no need for something like this. Meg is already very fast and agile, and able to keep it's jaws on it's enemy, This would be as ridiculous as giving Laten or Deinonychus a Tail attack.

Q / AstralarchivistTail-attacks are so core to a monitor's identity that not giving it one is sillier than not giving raptors Pounce.
Besides, Mega has gotten a speed and turning reduction. at this point it's only real stat-walls are the heavy bite and hidden dive buffs.
Split those points into the rest of it's new kit / niches and it's all set
