I've killed an epic.

For your verification.
Actualy I've done it twice. First time didn't count cause I wasn't the one that landed the killing blow. That really ticked me off as killing them takes about 45 minutes.
The trick is get level 5 jump, Glide and Spit. Find an epic. Makes sure to clear the area around (far around it) of any other creatures by driving them extint. Then go spit at it and fly backwards and lure it around in a circle in the area you cleared out while spitting at it. Takes ages (Should be possible to do in 25 minutes bit it will take more like 50 with all the running you have to do) but it will eventualy die. If your really lucky (depending on the epic creature) it will get stuck on a bush or somethign and you'll be able to just sit there spiting away at it.
Note it really helps to be an omnivore or herbavore as your belly will empty 4 or 5 times while doing this and having killed all the enarby creatures a carnivore will have nothing to eat. The only other trait that might be even remotely useful is sneak. Epics seem to be really bad at detecting sneaking creatures and if it gets too close it might save your life (If you die the epic goes back to full helath). Dont worry about spending DNA on health boosting parts either. If an epic touches you then you die. Doesn't matter how much health you've got. I actualy got the high flyer achievement (or whatever it's called = Fly more then 200... Units of measurement) when an epic grabbed me and threw me half way across the globe where I got eaten in mid air (nearly high enough to leave the atmosphere) by the sea beast that eats you when you go over deep water.
