📋 About This Mod
Masiakasaurus knopfleri
(NEW SPECIES)
This mod adds a new species to the game: Masiakasaurus knopfleri, a type of noasaurid theropod dinosaur that lived at the end of the Cretaceous period, approximately 70 million years ago, in the Maastrichtian, in what is now Madagascar.
This is a "New Species" mod (The first land carnivore in the whole game, in fact!), this means that it doesn't repleace any creatures from your game, it adds a new one!
DISCLAIMER:
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.
