📋 About This Mod
Livyatan melvillei
(NEW SPECIES)
This mod adds a new species to the game: Livyatan melvillei, an extinct genus of macroraptorial sperm whale. The genus name was inspired by the biblical sea monster Leviathan, and the species name by Herman Melville, the author of the famous novel Moby Dick about a white bull sperm whale. Livyatan is the largest fossil sperm whale discovered, and was also one of the biggest-known predators, having the largest bite of any tetrapod.
This is a "New Species" mod, this means that it doesn't repleace any creatures from your game, it adds a whole new one!

DISCLAIMER (KNOWN BUGS):
If you open the species on the species viewer, please restart the game before loading any saves. If you don't do this, the game will most likely break. This is a common bug with New Species sadly.
New Species for now are highly experimental, and they may have bugs or issues that can't be fixed, or that will take some time to do so. This one is safe to use, but some animations when it hunts and fights don't work properly, so take that in mind when taking screenshots or making any type of video or content with it. If they can be fixed in the future, they will be fixed.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 462 endorsements and 28k downloads – clearly a hit.
- Adds a brand-new species instead of reskinning an existing one, so it feels fresh.
- Still updated as of August 2023, so it's not abandoned.
⚠️ Cons
- No details on compatibility with other dinosaur mods – could conflict if you run a big collection.
- Only one species added, so if you're looking for a pack, this is just a single addition.
- No info on whether it works with the latest game version – check before installing.
For dinosaur game players who want to expand their marine roster with a real prehistoric predator. If you're into paleo-accurate additions or just want more variety in the oceans, this is for you. Skip if you're after a full overhaul or multiple new species.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod file in the correct directory for your game – usually the 'Mods' folder.
- If you're using a mod manager, enable this mod and check for any load order issues with other species mods.
- Since it's a new species, it should spawn naturally, but if you don't see it, try a new save or check the spawn settings.
