Eh Gachas on Aberration?

[Alucard †]

Few months earlier when i bought the DLCs and was testing them out if everything works poperly. First thing i saw in Lush zone was a Gacha.

Now since i am playing Aberration properly with same char that i used to ascend from Island to Scorched Earth and now to Aberration i decided to look up where they potentially spawn cause i read they are really useful.

To my surprise there is absolutely no mention anywhere tha they spawn on Aberration.
Not even in the Gacha wiki.gg page (which only shows it spawns on Extinction , Gen 2 and Fjordur) and Aberration wiki page only lists Gacha claus an event creature that can spawn.

However i made this screenshot in March 17 and it looks like a regular Gacha and not event one:

I am confused ..

EDIT: I did not use any mods , adjust any spawns etc etc.

Sometimes wierd things happen on maps.
Some time ago when Lost island came out Dinopithecus started spawning on Valguero because they messed up something with the spawns.
It could be something like that , or a mod or something.
Also could be something with overspawns , this can mess the game up too , if you have like x10 spawns etc wierd stuff starts happening (like karkinos'es in drake trench)
But otherwise no idea, ark moment i guess.

Oh right forgot to mention i was not using any mods at that time (still aren't using any)
And i didn't manipulate or even knew how to manipulate creature spawns yet.

christmas gacha that reverted to the normal version after the event was turned off, that didnt die or got wiped? do a dino wipe and see if they spawn back

Ark moment it is then.
Cause they are not meant to spawn there unless they changed something , im not sure I have not played in a few months.

That screenshot was from March and that's when i started that map for first time so there were no xmas events? Since then i wiped that throwaway char's single player data.

That's super weird xD

I've never heard of anything like this happening save for mistakes during updates, or mods.

WC have missed things in updates in the past, like the example Gwyn mentioned about deinopithicus, or that time when the wolves in the triple-level artifact cave on Extinction were able to be tamed. And I have a screenshot from shortly after the release of Extinction, showing Ragnarok's rivers had turned a red colour - presumably they used some of the textures which WC used for the red rivers in the forbidden zone, but the devs adjusted their colouration so it had a knock-on effect for Rag.

And of course, mods can cause all kinds of odd things to happen, like making creatures pop up in places they wouldn't normally appear.

But I've never heard of an instance where adjusting spawn rates would make different creatures appear where they wouldn't normally. I believe karkinos appearing in the rock drake trench is an intentional change from WC a while back, and it will happen on default spawn rates not just adjusted ones. The only time I've heard of spawn rates changing spawning directly is in single player mode, where if you reduce the overall dino spawn, it can lead to rare creatures like gigas and quetzals not appearing on the map at all. But that is creatures refusing to spawn, not new ones being added which wouldn't normally be there.

I also didn't mess with the dino spawns slider it was on default 1x

I did some funsies on single player a few years back , I set dino ammount to like 40+ , outcomes where intresting , there was alot of dinos but also things spawning out of order , as I mention karkino'ses right next to rock drake nests , flocks of wyvern above the rocky desert on ragna , and Im pretty sure even a few mantises on abberation, but again it was a while back and might have been a temporary thing.
