Magmasaur is a territorial carnivore that lives in the magma pits of the Volcano Biome in the Genesis Simulation.
They can only be described as walking inferno lizards as their whole body appears to be manifested with scorching hot fire.
These creatures can be seen wandering around the Volcano biome while several dwell within the Volcano itself, protecting their eggs which will soon be new hatchlings.
When these creatures sense you nearby, you are likely to be in for trouble and it is best to avoid these creatures until you are equipped with the means of fighting back.
Tribes that have tamed these creatures use them literally as tanks, being able to withstand damage and deal it as well.

Abilities
1) Searing Heat
The Magmasaur begins to stack up on heat, preparing to follow up with another action such as spitting out a ball of fire or scattering clusters of molten rocks to explode around it.
As the Magmasaur heats up, enemies or wild creatures that are too close will begin to catch on fire, burning and taking damage over time.
Releasing this ability without performing any other actions will cause the Magmasaur to fire a fireball(a marker will show where it will be aimed) at a certain area.
Default Controls:
Hold the alternate fire key to begin heating up.
- RMB (for PC)

How to Tame Magmasaur (Raising)
Magmasaur are untameable and instead, survivors must steal an egg to hatch their own Magmasaur from birth and raise it as a baby.
Magmasaur Egg
Survivors may find Magmasaur Eggs within the Volcano in the Genesis Simulation but getting to these eggs may be quite a challenge.
There will be other creatures that can bring harm to those that enter, not to mention the Magmasaur that can be found within pose a great threat.
Within the volcano, Magmasaur Nests may be found and will have the Fertilized Magmasaur Egg of nearby adult Magmasaur.
Taking this egg will cause the Magmasaur nearby to become very aggressive and is highly advised to make sure you remember the way out and have a good plan to escape.
It is important to keep in mind that hatching a Magmasaur Egg does not require being at the volcano as campfires or air conditioners will do the trick but the food they eat needs more attention.
Baby Magmasaur will only eat Ambergris which is found in the Lunar Biome by destroying rocks that can be seen with glowing cyan marks on them.
