Shiny! Dinos

No Deinonychus Shiny?
I've tried using the shiny admin gun on wild deinonychus (both aberrant, from additional aberrant dinos and vanilla from the base game) and it almost always transforms them into Raptors instead. Is this intended?

No-- it's because deinonychus is a child class of raptors. Shiny supports child classes so that modded dinos can be Shiny. There's also a chance that any dino with an X- or Aberrant version has a chance to be that version. What's happening with the Deinons is they're being turned Aberrant or X- since that's an option for them-- but since there are no Aberrant or X-Deinonychus, they get turned to their parent type, which is a raptor. You'll see it a lot if you're routinely shooting Deinons with the Shiny guns, but it will be next to invisible in play.
