This mod is intended to resize dinos to realistic levels. Some behaviors may have been changed as well, but their behavior after tamed will remain unchanged. Ideally I would like to change all of the vanilla dinos to a realistic size. Currently, this mod has made changes to invertebrates, but also a few others. I do not intend to change the stats of creatures, merely resize them.

Changes Dung Beetle- Resized, Shoulder mountable, renamed as "giant scarab" Moth- Resized, Shoulder mountable, passively produces silk, replaces pteranodons in redwoods biome Arthropleura- Resized (no longer rideable), behavior changed to neutral, spawns in jungle biome Jellyfish- Resized, now "drifts" with the currents, neutral Eel/Microraptor/Pego- Behavior changed to neutral, so they no longer zap/dismount/steal unless you attack first (in other words the kings of nuisance have been dethroned) Dunkleosteus- Just like their real-world counterparts, they now live in coastal waters. You can find them swimming upon the shorelines snagging shellfish. Eventually I want to have them to have weight reduction on metal/stone. Ammonites- Should theoretically "swim" and not just hover over the ground Diplocaulus- Resized

Creatures simply resized and currently untamable; scorpion, spider, bat, mantis, jug bugs, beelzebufo

Additions Catfish- From Atlas, they're there simply as a test on how to bring Atlas assets over to Ark, they are in the redwoods and oasis water spawn containers Asteroceras Basically a smaller version of the ammonite, but spawns on the coastlines. Is shoulder mountable, but very buggy right now due to it being a water creature (bringing the creature out of water can make it bugged when responding to whistles).

*Disclaimer* This mod was originally meant as more or less a test mod for me to just learn the ropes of the dev kit, but since people seem to be interested I'll try and work on this mod more. Keep in mind, I'm actually making a map for this game and so this is where most of my focus is, so this mod might be updated at a very, very slow pace.
