📋 About This Mod

Varanus priscus

The original and default texture for the Megalania.

Blood Komodo Version

Based of the Blood Komodo from Far Cry 3 (This is a optional download and in this case just for fun and an homage to the game).

In the future there will be optional versions of the Megalania with more colourful and patterned textures. You can only have one optional version in your game at a time.

Current bugs include an animation issue that carries over from the base Komodo Dragon in which the tongue can been seen through the body in certain animations.

  • []Based on the Komodo Dragon, it will use the same enrichment items.

    []Requires ACSE and the Deluxe Upgrade Pack

    Huge thanks to Leaf for coding and fixing my mistakes and a huge thanks to Robustus for the awesome images for the nexus and Zoopedia.

    This mod is available in:
