Gigas fit in oddly with the rest of the dinos. This mod aims to help that. It takes a middle road between realism and vanilla gameplay. Staying as faithful to the original Giga as possible while making it a more reasonable dino.

Changes Breakdown:

*2k Starting HP *150 Base Damage *Scaling percentage is the same as Rex (except oxygen) *Slightly smaller than it used to be *Gnashed debuff is now 5% over 15s instead of 5% over 5s. *Rage depletes much slower but takes far more damage to trigger. (60-80% HP in one fight - Depletes at 1/10th vanilla) *Still damages stone *No reduction to HP and damage on tame *Base torpor down to 2600 from 10k and torpor depletion down to 16 from 25 *Reduced XP granted on kill from 750 to 150

This mod is free of the HP reset bug. I would suggest you only use one giga altering mod at a time.

I am very interested in getting feeback. So leave your opinions, complaints or reports and I'll do my best about em.

This remaps gigas so try to avoid any mod that also messes with gigas.
