Hello everyone,

This week’s feature is about the Shiny! Dinos mod!

What it is:

The Shiny! Dinos mod adds rare and special dinos to the map. These dinos can be identified from afar by their colorful glowing sparkles! 

With over 40 different dino color sets this mod definitely helps bring more color to the normally drab wild dinos. On top of the cool new color sets, it also adds dinos with certain special abilities! 

For fear of making this post too long I will post a link below to a page that explains all of the fun abilities the dinos can have. I highly recommend giving it a look over. It’s a very fun read :)!

Please do note that while the colors from a Shiny dino can be passed down to its offspring, its sparkles and any special abilities it has cannot.

What items does the mod add:

• Shiny Tracker - A small handheld device that will show you which Shinies are on the map and their positions.

• Raw Shiny Essence - Obtained from killing Enraged Shinies. It is an essential component of the Shiny Essence Prod. (The enraged Shinies need to be the ones that spawn naturally, not the ones enraged from proding.)

• Shiny Essence Prod - A prod used to gather shiny essence from extra special Shiny dinos. Be careful though. It enrages the Shiny Dino it’s used on, making them extra tough to kill. (The dinos must have an ability for this to work. Ex: Taser, Burning, Frozen, ect.)

• Shiny Essence - Gained by using the Shiny Essence Prod on an extra special Shiny Dino AND THEN killing the prodded dino within 60 seconds. Once gained you can feed this essence to a tamed dino of the same dino class as the Shiny Dino it was harvested from. (Ex: You prod and kill a Shiny Burning Direwolf. Then you feed the essence gained from that kill to a tamed Direwolf. The tamed Direwolf then gains the Burning abilities and still has all of the tamed Direwolf’s stats.)
