Mystic Menagerie: A New Fantastical ARK Experience!

Mystic Menagerie seeks to add a collection of creatures and other content to your ARK: Survival Evolved experience. Our goal is to create a diverse and engaging roster of creatures to enrich your gameplay. We strive to balance these fantastical additions around vanilla levels, while adding new gameplay options for all stages of the game.

What is this mod about?

1) Grounded Fantasy:
While not all creatures will follow this rule to the letter, we want to explore traditional fantasy concepts with a speculative biology lens, and create a selection of creatures that feel alive and evolving with the ARKs- but still distinctly fantastical.

2) New Gameplay Niches:
Each creature will have a unique place in the creature roster that gives the player new ways to play or optimize their survival on the ARKs focused on vanilla balance. Our aim is to expand gameplay and enrich the ARKs with fantasy creatures, while not eclipsing vanilla critters.

3) More than tweaked ARK models:
While some of our creatures are made using ARK assets, most critters are made with the goal in mind to be able to stand on their own -that means unique custom models and animations made at professional quality made by Scorching_Kami, one of the head modders for this mod!

love the mod was able to find the crab ability tho it was a little difficult, it might be because im on fjorder and i just don't have enough knowledge on the mod but i haven't seen a crystal wyvern or either of the r and x crabs, which i had to spawn in myself to get, but other than that the mod is awesome and ive had a lot of fun using it with all the creatures added, good mod

That discord link is no longer valid. Does anyone have a current one?

For anyone having issues with this mods Bullwark Spawns being too high, I fixed the issue myself on my server by disabling their spawns in the Game.ini config. You can copy and place this line at the bottom of your Game.ini config for it to stop spawning them altogether. These lines are for the normal ones AND the Alpha Bullwark.

NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Bullwark_character_bp_C",ToClassName="")
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Bullwark_Character_BP_Mega_C",ToClassName="")

After that, using the Simple Spawners mod you can add them back in with the spawner by pasting their Blueprint Paths into one of the spawners custom spawn text fields.

Blueprint'/Game/Mods/MysticMenagerie/creatures/Bullwark/Bullwark_character_bp.Bullwark_character_bp'

Blueprint'/Game/Mods/MysticMenagerie/creatures/Bullwark/Bullwark_Character_BP_Mega.Bullwark_Character_BP_Mega'

Doing this will allow you to spawn in however many of either of these you want, as well as choose their spawn points and so on.
