Meet Aust Colossus, a marine reptile of gargantuan proportions! In 1850, a large Late Triassic bone from Aust Cliff, Gloucestershire, United Kingdom was described alongside four other fragmentary bones. Two are missing (presumed destroyed), and were identified as limbs from stegosaurs and sauropods. However, they were likely mandibular elements of massive ichthyosaurs. Dean Lomax says one of the Aust bones is a surangular from a similar animal, and may be even larger than Ichthyotitan, a giant 25 meter (82 feet) long ichthyosaur previously identified as the Lilstock monster. Scaling off of Icthyotitan, the Aust Colossus may have weighed 175 tons, and 29.3 metres long (96ft 1 inch). A theoretical adult maximum, again by Vividen, would have been 290 tons. What a beast!

Other Cool Features:
1. Expanded Colors - This feature adds over 32 variants and patterns to this creature in sharp contrast to the game's 12 variants and 7 patterns, allowing for more unique color combinations!
2. Dinosaur Exchange - Adds the Aust Colossus to the Malta Trade, allowing you to get it's eggs, genome, or even the creature itself!
3. Digsite - Adds the Aust Colossus to the Aust Cliffs Formation in the UK!
4. KaiCore Menu Compatibility - Adds a feature that notifies you the status of the mod, if it's broken, or if there is a new update for it!
5. Replacement Version - Provides an alternative version that replaces Shonisaurus for those who don't like new species mods. There's even an injectable version for people who know how to use Cobra Tools!

Trivia:
-Aust is now the 2nd largest marine species on Nexus, with GojiCenter's Bloop being number one!
-Aust's skin was inspired by a Green Flash event, a distillation of the color from the sun as it fades over the horizon! Thanks, Net!

Known bugs:
-None so far.
