Megalodon

[Coridan]

So in Beta there was a level 51 shark called Megalodon. He got removed because the pathing for fish sucked. On live they eventually fixed fish pathing, here they haven't (razorgills in Blackburrow and the sharks in QCat are pretty bad). I remember I got my server GM (who I am still friends with today) to actually spawn him and he went on a terror spree in Lake Rathetear before it was decided that was a bad idea.

It seems they eventually added him in the Veil of Alaris expansion (not sure which one that was, I left around LDoN). It would be cool, if we can get fish pathing fixed (which would be cool in its own right) to see Megalodon come back.

Ancient Megalodon http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npc.html?id=16195

was part of shaman epic 1.5, is that the mob you are talking about?

That is the (a) version they added in later yeah. Original was just "a megalodon", was level 51, had normal shark model and probably just shark meat for loot (when they removed him from the game Vox did not even have loot yet)

you sure this existed? there was tons of rumors in the game about this shark and many other monsters that were never found

[Coridan]

100% sure. It was in beta and verrrrrry early release (gone by Aug 99 definitely). Verified by Dan Enright aka Yakatizma, who was my server GM (as Ignaurus) before he became the tradeskill dev.

This shark is only put out in GM events. He was taken out of the game (During BETA) cause he had major pathing troubles.. Like swimming up shore lines and being able to attack while doing so. Nothing is inside that big cave, cept some deepwater gobs and a few high lvl quest NPC. Theirs only 1 true screenshot of Megalodon, It was taken during BETA from the front view. Nothing special looking, just a over sized shark. He was lvl 50 and hit for 120 in quads. If this shark is somehow reimplemented in the game its either the biggest EQ secret or the largest EQ hype. Either way hes nothing special to look at, just take a screen shot of regular shark, apply it to a paint shop program stretch the textures of the SS about 10 times over. envision the name Megalodon and there you go.

Sounds legit.
