About this mod

This mod adds a new marine species (not a replacement) into the game: Livyatan!

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Livyatan melvillei
(NEW SPECIES)


This mod adds a new species to the game: Livyatan melvillei, an extinct genus of macroraptorial sperm whale. The genus name was inspired by the biblical sea monster Leviathan, and the species name by Herman Melville, the author of the famous novel Moby Dick about a white bull sperm whale. Livyatan is the largest fossil sperm whale discovered, and was also one of the biggest-known predators, having the largest bite of any tetrapod.

This is a "New Species" mod, this means that it doesn't repleace any creatures from your game, it adds a whole new one!

NEW: Skins and Patterns Overhaul:




DISCLAIMER (KNOWN BUGS): 
If you open the species on the species viewer, please restart the game before loading any saves. If you don't do this, the game will most likely break. This is a common bug with New Species sadly.

New Species for now are highly experimental, and they may have bugs or issues that can't be fixed, or that will take some time to do so. This one is safe to use, but some animations when it hunts and fights don't work properly, so take that in mind when taking screenshots or making any type of video or content with it. If they can be fixed in the future, they will be fixed.
