About Zytharian Critters

Zytharian Critters is a creature pack for ARK: Survival Evolved that adds more than 60 new creatures, with stats and gameplay kept close to the base game. It fits players who want more variety without breaking vanilla balance.

  • More than 60 new creatures balanced around vanilla stats.
  • Server ini settings let admins turn off individual creatures.
  • Works with Ark Omega with no extra setup: when both mods are loaded, most of its creatures become Omega variants.
  • The Tek Therizinosaurus saddle guns only fire on the Skeletal and Tek Therizinosaurus, not the vanilla one.

The author warns against spawning the creatures in the mod's AO folder directly, since they are support files for the Ark Omega link.

Other Disclaimers
Tek Theriz saddle guns will only work on the Skeletal and Tek theriz since modifications to the base character file is needed so it wont work on vanilla theriz to shoot.

Spawning in the _AO creatures that are in the AO folder may cause problems since they are dependency files needed for Ark Omega to interact with my mod and allow its functionality when the two are together.
