Features

Adds 25 new creatures to the diverse biomes of your Rimworlds, all of them based on mythological and magical creatures from different ancient cultures and sources. Similar to Alpha Animals, the philosophy of this mod is that every new creature tries to bring some new mechanic into the game, whether it be fire breathing cattle, acid and poison spewing behemoth, or faster than average steed. Some of the mechanics are simple, others much more complex.

Animals will spawn with different rates in different biomes, and should appear at about half the rate as vanilla animals (wolves have been taken as a benchmark, not rats).

Bear in mind that spawn probabilities have been calculated with no other animal mods installed. If you have, for example, Vanilla Animals Expanded, less animals from this mod will appear, obviously.



Issues

There shouldn't be any. Balance is obviously always a concern, although it has been playtested. Feel free to tell me if you think something is too wacky.

This mod is complete and will just be maintained through versions

@Traktor z Tesco I don't really find them too strong, at least with Combat Etended they drop really fast.

Hi, I am not sure if it was already raised but I find basilisks really strong when tamed. I got a few of them and they are like mobile turrets that I can use to hunt animals, end raids or kill infestations without colonist support. Just move animal zone and enable turret mode.
They could be nerfed by making their petrification attack to not drop meat (it could drop stone chunks) or limit ability human to control it to the cases when owner is drafted

I think this mods' giddy-up patch needs an update , cause the patch PatchOperationFindMod is <Giddy-up! Battle Mounts> , which tracing to like version 1.2 or 1.3 :)

How close to Colonsits due the Kitsune need to be to heal them? Love the Mod!

My first born was already sacrificed, I will be on my way to the CE devs then, demanding the compensation for my sacrifice.
FlareFluffsune Apr 16 @ 1:52pm 
No its not. Unfortunately to make it compatible you have to sacrifice your first born child then go ask the CE dev's instead.
El lobo Apr 16 @ 1:46pm 
Is this compatible with CE?

shoutout to the absolute legend of a goose i witnessed get hunted by a kitsune, died, but did enough damage to make said kitsune die of bloodloss soon after.

can i make them pets?

Are Pegasi (and Unicorns?) useless without Giddy up? They seem to speed up caravans slightly more than horses, but then they don't carry any stuff which seems to make them pointless... (I don't want to install that mod, partially because it is incompatible with Multiplayer)

Also, it's just feels weird that on this page there is zero mention of Giddy up, yet it is advertised from the in-game
