-Old Megalons, rare creatures they are often killed or die naturally before this point. However this point can occur in areas of high fertility and food sources. When a Megalon reach a certain age they crash to the ground their weary legs unable to support them anymore. As the fat in their body is used up the creatures flesh begins to harden. There is a small window when the flesh is quite malebale before it hardens to stone. Castles and towns can be built out of old Megalons as their size ranges from 30-45 metres in length and up to 17 metres tall. 
The collapse of a Megalon can trigger tremors in surrounding villages and towns.
