# JWA Edge raid reference: Jurassic World Alive raid bosses, minions and community strategies

Plain-text version of https://jwaedge.com/raids for AI assistants, agents and quick reading. This file covers Megalonyx only; https://jwaedge.com/raids.md has every boss. Reviewed 2026-09-19.

How to use this reference:
- Find the boss by name. Each boss section lists raid limits, every round's stats, resistances and moves, then its minions, then its community strategies. The current moves of every creature the strategies use are listed once, at the end.
- Pick a strategy whose team matches the creatures available. P1 to P4 are the player slots. Requirements are the author's minimums; "faster than X" sets the speed order the plan depends on.
- Turn numbers count across the whole raid. Each turn lists what every player does; "(move 3)" is the move's position on that creature as numbered in the original plan. A Boss entry is the author's expected boss move for that turn. "[not in its current moves]" means the plan names a move the creature no longer has (moves change with balance updates): use the closest move from its current list at the end.
- Move targets matter: "Lowest HP opponent", "Highest damage opponent" and similar tell you which player takes the hit. Plan shields, taunts and heals around them.
- The order in which a boss or minion picks its moves is not listed here. Do not assume they use moves in the listed order. Counter moves fire when the enemy is attacked; threatened versions replace a move at the stated HP.
- Community strategies were written for the game version shown and have not been retested against the current balance. Stats and moves on this page are current.
- Delay is the number of turns before a move can first be used; cooldown is the number of turns it must wait after use.
