📋 About This Mod
Xiphactinus audax
(NEW SPECIES)
This mod adds a new species to the game: Xiphactinus audax, a extinct genus of large predatory marine bony fish that lived during the Late Cretaceous, that looks like a gargantuan, fanged tarpon. The word "Xiphactinus", comes from a mix of Greek and Latin, and means "Sword-Ray", and they were voracious predatory fish. At least a dozen specimens have been collected with the remains of prey in their stomachs.
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 fights and is hunted 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.
