This mod aims to improve the vanilla giga's such as better stamina consumption, tamed giga's have the bleed attack and more.

-Stamina has been increased to 700. -Stamina recovery rate has been increased. -The health depletion rate while suffocating underwater has been slightly decreased. -Drag weight has been adjusted so giga's can be taken into boss fights. -All Giga's have the Gnash (bleed) attack, press C on the keybord or R3 on controller to use it. -Giga's cannot get enraged. -Baby giga's grow faster (about the same as a rex). -Gnash attack now consumes 100 stamina per use.

INI Configuration [BetterVanillaGigas] GnashAttack=False AllowedBossDino=False GnashCooldown=8 PreventRage=False

GnashAttack if set to true will enable the gnash attack. (disabled by default)

AllowedBossDino setting this to true will allow the giga into boss arena's. (disabled by default)

GnashCooldown is how long in seconds before you can launch another gnash attack.

PreventRage when set to true will disable the rage on the giga after taking too much damage.

This is not a new creature so all of these changes will work on existing giga's and can be safely removed, it also works on the tek giga but a cryo or creature upload/download is recommended.
