Mighty creatures that attack your fortress. When one enters your area, the game will announce its presence and its name.

Megabeasts will not arrive until you have a population of 80, 100,000☼ created wealth, and 10,000☼ exported wealth. At most one megabeast attack can happen during any given season, its arrival date determined ahead of time. Force-quitting and loading a fortress from a few days before a megabeast attack may result in a different one arriving on the same day, depending on what has survived [[world generation]].

Included in this [[:Category:Megabeasts|category]] are the [[Bronze colossus]], [[Dragon]], [[Hydra]], and [[Titan]].

Occasionally, worlds may be generated in which no megabeasts survive, making the game considerably less [[fun]]. A common method of avoiding this problem is to make megabeasts significantly stronger during world generation (by increasing their SIZE or DAMBLOCK) so that more of them survive; however, this may result in them being just as strong when encountered, even if the modifications are later undone.
