Alignment: Megafauna are neutral in alignment.

Intelligence: Megafauna have Intelligence scores of –4 or –5.

Senses: Most megafauna have either low-light vision or darkvision. Other common senses megafauna might have include echolocation (as a precise sense) and scent or tremorsense (as imprecise senses).

Special Defenses: Although not impossible, it's rare for megafauna to have special defenses such as regeneration, immunities, resistances, or weaknesses. Include them only if they are key to your concept.

Omissions: Megafauna don't have languages, items, or spells. They almost never have magical abilities.
