ARK: Project Anomaly

An anomaly in space-time has caused an ARK to become intertwined with a land of magic and monsters! Survivors will have plenty to fear in newfound beasts from the likes of both science fiction and fantasy - alien dinosaurs, dragons, crabs, otherworldly entities from the edge of the space with the power to manifest their nightmares into your demise.. the list continues! Even the very elements of nature have been manifested into monstrous forms! There is no telling to what could appear in this invasion.. But, do you believe you can conquer it? Make these ferocious beasts your own? Of course you do! Now, one last question…

Are you ready to brave the creatures of the Anomaly, once again?

Project Anomaly is a clean and stackable mod (no compatibility issues) that seeks to add creatures based around vanilla ARK, without going too far over the line.
That doesn’t mean there won't be anything powerful though, just not at Primal Fear or ARK Omega levels. The mod is focused around vanilla gameplay. ARK Genomes provides somewhat of a solution to this though, since you can evolve creatures to give them configurable higher stat multipliers. Go check that out if that’s what you’re in to!

At launch, the only creature in the mod is Galvarex. However, there is a LONG list of possible additions in the discord server, some with art! Some creatures will have additional alpha versions with additional abilities that will drop sweet loot!

Nox: Massive, loathsome reptiles with heavy hands and even heavier armor. They stake their claims in the swamp by spreading noxious gas, choking out anything that dares to encroach on their territories.

Xenomander: Enigmatic Void-attuned creatures with a unique control over the elements. From the safety of your shoulder, they can utilize a variety of offensive and defensive elemental abilities that come with their element of choice!

A few of the other planned creatures:
Motley : Colorful mask wearing monkeys with a massive hand on their tails, which they use to launch bombs of flaming fruits!
Songuari : A large herbivore with the most powerful voice on the ARK! It's roar are capable of tearing up the earth and harming anything within its range!
Daemon : Pseudo-insectoid reptilian aliens with the ability to mimic the status effects and buffs of other creatures around it to level the playing field in combat!
Rendigo : A tall, antlered creature reminiscent of a Wendigo that delights in annulling the abilities of its prey for an easier catch!
Fellcrab : Large crabs with one claw for blocking and one claw for stabbing, capable of parrying and counter-attacking opponents!
… and many more!

Latest Version
v1.2.0
Additions:
- Added 2 new Creature Variants: X-Galvarex and R-Galvarex!
Spawns are in the Gen1 Arctic and Gen2 Rockwell's Proliferation (not Innards) respectively!
- Added a new Abnormal Class Creature: OVERDRIVE Galvarex! Create Abnormal creatures by obtaining a Transmutator, then defeat it to obtain powerful Genes for your tamed Galvarex!
BE WARNED - Abnormals are VERY strong, comparable to a Gamma (or Beta) boss! Engage at your own risk!
- Added a new Item type: Genes! Genes are dropped by Abnormals and can be given to creatures to enhance their abilities!

Changes:
- Added Awesome Spyglass flavor text to Galvarex
- FINALLY FIXED THE SOUND ATTENUATION ISSUES, WOOOOOOO
(I hope, at least..)
- Galvanize button switched to Right CTRL instead of R, for the mercy of the shoulder pets. My deepest condolences to the lives sacrificed for that sweet, sweet galvanize boost.
- Galvarex Lightning now scales with melee
- Lowered Alpha Galvarex lightning base damage (35 -> 15)
- Greatly increased electrogel harvesting rates
- Alpha Galvarex texture changed slightly
- Slightly Increased Alpha Galvarex spawns
- VERY minor increase to Galvarex's stats
- Lowered Galvarex saddle to level 68
- Galvarex run speed increased

Other notes:
- Mod is balanced for vanilla
- Creatures should spawn on most maps, but not every creature spawns on every map
- I have ownership of all creatures that are in the mod that are custom made, and I own all the assets for their sounds. DO NOT rip or use any assets of this mod without permission.

- ScorchingKami, for creature modeling! This mod wouldn't be possible without you!
- My mod contributors, Grommi, MamaJava, ChubbyDino!
- Giga Raptor, for the creature icons!
