Maiabalaena and Hammerhead:

Keeping Hammerheads near to Maiabaleena will now both keep the Hammerheads fed, and help reduce the Maiabalaenas Lice Infestation levels.

Baby Maiabalaena now have much increased rates of Lice Infestation. Will not be affected by nearby sharks.

Baby Maiablaena now must be kept close by an adult allied Maiabalaena or they will rapidly lose health

(the rationale behind these two changes is that as Maiabalaena do not eat it is incredibly easy to breed them)

New Costume:

Atlas Scorpion Costume; Craftable in the AoA crafting station for a small amount of Chitin, equip on a vanilla or Better Dinos Pulmonoscorpius to give it the Atlas Scorpion Mesh. Aberrant Scorpion will get an Aberrant mesh. Unlike regular costumes this retains your scorps original colours (although colour regions are different on the Atlas mesh to the vanilla) This works by bypassing the usual costume attachment logic. Whilst it could be used on other modded scorpions that use the correct tag, do so with care as it may cause them to be resized, lose animations or otherwise break entirely and therefore I can only recommend its use on vanilla or Better Dinos scorps as I have full control over them.

Reduced some Genesis Spawns
Penguin now spawns in Ocean Biome with Maiabalaena
Removed Penguin and Kolponomos from Arctic Lake spawner to prevent intefering with beaver and kairuku spawns. Will add Kolponomos to Tundra spawner when we have the all clear that doing so won't cause crashes

Stinky fart cloud causes flat DoT, can be avoided with a gas mask.
The stink is so bad that it will cause any dinos that get a whiff of it to flee!
