Fortnite Klombos are a new addition to the wildlife found across the battle royale, but they're like nothing else we've seen before due to their giant size. They can usually be found peacefully grazing their way around the island while consuming everything they see before them, and if you hop along their backs then you can glide after launching from a Klombo's blowhole. Just be careful not to make them angry by dealing damage to them, as they appear to be unbeatable foes in Fortnite and are capable of wiping out entire squads if they go on the warpath. If you're ready for a dinosaur encounter, then we've got all of the Fortnite Klombos locations and details on what they do.

Fortnite Klombos spawn at a number of locations around the island at random, and although there are multiple creatures in each match it isn't possible to say exactly where they will appear. We've marked a selection of known Fortnite Klombos locations on the map above, and your best bet for encountering a beast is to glide over one of the marked areas at a height from the battle bus, until you spot it roaming around below and can skydive down for an encounter.

Fortnite Klombos generally wander around the island hoovering up scenery, then shooting items or weapons out of the blowhole on their head to land nearby – if you collect the bright blue Fortnite Klomberries from bushes then feed them to the Klombos it'll speed this process up and potentially net you some rare loot. You can also run up the tail and along the back of the Klombo to reach their blowhole, which will launch you up into the air so you can redeploy your glider and rotate to a different area of the island.

Fortnite Klombos are generally passive and friendly creatures, but be wary of damaging them as this will cause them to become enraged and glow. When in this state they'll charge into any players close enough to hit and inflict damage, while launching explosive fireballs at those further away, though eventually the anger will wear off and they've become placid again. You can potentially use this to your advantage if you see a Klombo at a distance with an opponent near them, as a few well-placed shots will send it into a rage to attack your enemy.
