Creatures to Add
What creature do you want added and how would you want it added? How rare and in what location(s)?

Note: I don't plan on adding creatures that don't suit the map environment like reapers, space whales, or rock drakes. Some of the areas those creatures spawn have a unique difficulty to them that would be difficult to replicate on Ragnarok. Otherwise, if you could reasonably expect to see a creature on Ragnarok, it's fair game to be added.

The lantern pets fits really well in the cave below the castle in the swamp. Also I think Basilisk and Karkinos fits really well in the western swamp, as Aberration Blue Area looks more like a swamp than a Forest or Desert. Rock Drakes can fit very well in that underwater Crystal Cave near the Blue Obelisk. Magmasaur would be good in the cave below the Volcano, Astrocetus, Astrodelphis and Void Wyrm would fit pretty well in the middle of the map. Well, I have another ideas, but that is it for now.

I don't want the lantern creatures to interfere with the spawns of the megalo and change the difficulty of the cave, and while I could increase the meglo spawns to compensate, I think I'd rather the lantern creatures be in the redwoods since it's pretty dark as well. I do plan on adding just the featherlight to the cave, though. I'll add the karkinos to the swamp since it fits, but I don't intend to add the basilisk since I would personally never go to the swamp if it was the only way to tame one, and otherwise it would just be an unnecessary addition to the difficulty there. I do plan on adding the magmasaur + nests in the volcano cave near the wyvern trench. As far as the other creatures you suggested, I don't plan on adding them.

I'll add the Maewing to the redwoods, but I don't think I'll add the r snow owl. I feel like it would stand out too much in Ragnarok. While I think the mana and snow owl suit the snow plains very well, I think the r snow owl feels out of place even in the mountainous environment it's spawned in gen 2.

R-Snow Owl would fit pretty well in that mountain between the Desert and Red Woods. Also I made a test mod for X-Rex in Wyvern Trench. It worked pretty well, but it spawn really rare. If you rise the spawn it will just overspawn and not spawn the normal Rex, then I did a CCA to remap the Spawn Entry, it worked pretty well, all 3 Rex variants are spawning in Wyvern Trench now following the order 90% chance normal, 5% chance Tek and 5% chance X.

Tropeognathus can be added on the southern beaches and fields of the map, west of the desert, north of the savannah islands in a uncommon way. Deinonychus can be added in redwood forests as a common animal (The only problem would be Deinonychus' egg nests).

Ferox can be added on the snow biome or snow caves, maybe 5 or 6 in the case of the caves and the snow biome like 8 or 9. Also Sinomacrops

Maybe some Rock Drakes?

How about X-Spinosaurus in the wetlands near the sea at the west of the map?They can be rarely spawned.

Great, I did some further testing and still couldn't get it to work, so I'll try to replicate that.

I'll add these to my list of things to add, shouldn't take me very long.

Sorry, I don't intend to add rock drakes.

I plan on adding Deinonychus along with their nests to specific areas of the highlands (or maybe desert canyons) since it is the most similar environment to the chalk region of Valguero. However, this one is going to take a little more time to implement due to it being slightly more complex than previous entries. As far as the Tropeo I intend to add them in many of the areas of the map that you would find pteradons, but they will be very rare.

Its pretty simple to do that using CCAs (Singletons). Other solution would be add an Buff to Normal Rexes, and this buff using an randomizer like 1 in x creatures convert that one into the Variant (X in case) you want and auto destroy itself (buff) to prevent it from re convert the creature.

Also sorry I re-posted this, just needed to have it somewhere it belongs. Also I took out the stuff that wouldn't fit so it would be more helpful.

An idea to kinda spice up the lacking carnivore cavern, would be adding reaper queens in the same spawn container as the megalosaurs, but with a 1/10th or lower ratio to spawn in place of a megalo. It'd be so cool to have reapers on a cluster that doesn't have aberration, reapers are my favorite creatures, and they'd still be a challenge to get them with how dark the area is
