Prehistoric Beasts

Description
MOD ID 2003934830

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!

It's an old review, and all of the issues have long been addressed. I'd recommend you try the mod, its fun and full of a nice variety of creatures!

Was gonna download but the first thing that came up when I went to see a youtube review on it was a little video by some guy named
Firesolved.

Confirmed working in 2025 on Fjordur

I did recently get a 4tb ssd so i could in theory get back into ASE. I have the files (I think, I hope they aren't corrupt). If I did mod again on ASE, I think I'd just update the creatures that had TLCs in ASA and add those into ASE.

Issue is a matter of time. I only have so much, and I have a full time job. So right now, i dont know or have an answer

Theoretically: If someone sent money your way to make/commission a new model for ASE, could you find it in your heart to download the kit again? I love the effort you put into your work but I can’t upgrade my server for my friends, due to hardware issues. You can say no, but I figured I’d ask.

Yes you can use this mod with that mod. I know some people have used Nasutoceratops vs Savage Acro. Tho, like any boss, its best to breed many strong creatures. And many of my creatures could work

better question: is this mod even safe to use with ark additions? (sorry if I talk too much lol)
Duke Jan 6 @ 5:13am 
are your creatures good for taking down savage acro because I keep getting wrecked
Duke Jan 6 @ 5:10am 
savage acro is currently wrecking my ark
