Parallel Universe Discoveries brings you: The Lacusplaisus!

Have you ever wondered how differently things could have evolved? What kind of creatures could roam in a parallel universe, similar to ours? The Parallel Universe Discoveries mod series aspires to give you a small taste of new and unique creatures, never seen before! All modelled, skinned and animated by me, just for your ARK!

I try my best to make my creations blend in with the other wildlife of ARK to allow for undisturbed immersion!

**AT THE MOMENT THE LACUS HAS A BUG THAT ONLY OCCURS ON DEDICATED SERVERS THAT CAUSES HIM TO MOVE WEIRDLY, STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT CAUSES THIS, SORRY! SINGLEPLAYER WORKS HOWEVER!**

The Lacusplaisus is a medium sized early fish of the permian period, mainly feeding off small shrimp, crabs and snails. Under the bony back of the Lacus, a hollow chamber makes it able to produce booming sounds, used to communicate and scare off small predators. The Lacus avoids confrontation if possible, but will attack back if it or one of it's kin is threatened.

Left click performs a bite and right click a tail swipe able to hit multiple targets.

Lacus' tame food is delicious chitin! Yum!

The spawncode is "summon lacus_character_BP_C"

The mod should be clean and stackable.

If any issues occur please report it to me here, via PM or on Discord.

In case you want to stay up to date with changes or WIPs on my mods and creations, have suggestions, bugs to report or simply want to chat a little, come to my discord server: https://discord.gg/ZYwj6ym

The Lacus is owned by me, Aeskulaph, his creator.

Special thanks go out to Garuga123 and Shadlos who helped me so much and made this even possible! Thank you guys!
