Prehistoric Beasts

MOD ID 2003934830

WITH THE UPDATE THAT ADDS AQUATICA/ THE UPDATE FROM 07/15/2025 ARK HAS BROKEN MODS (MINE INCLUDED). IF YOU WANT TO USE MY MOD YOU HAVE TO REVERT TO THE PRE-AQUATICA BRANCH! PLEASE CHECK DISCORD IF YOU HAVE MORE QUESTIONS/ COMMENTS!!

Dinosaurs from A to Z! Land, air, river, sea, I have them all! Each dinosaur uses a unique, exciting model! Big and small, fluffy or scaly, Prehistoric Beasts is the mod for someone who loves dinosaurs.

I try my best to create interesting dinosaurs that fit where I think Ark is lacking. From adding more dinosaurs that allow rider mounted weaponry to more unique taming methods, each of my dinosaurs are special. So join along in my journey to add a few more beasts into this wild game!
