MOD ID: 1979037318

This mod remaps several of the vanilla creatures- most of the roster (80+ creatures!) - with changes i feel fit/help them out. From bug fixes to buffs and nerfs, this mod is made with PvE in mind, with consideration for most other reworks (Creatures Upgraded, No Untameables, etc). So i don't touch certain creatures, for compatiblity with my friends and fellow modders!

See the discussion on steam for all creatures changed. The following for some reason fail to remap on The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, and Crystal isles:

-Raptor -Carno -Rex -Megalodon

So you'll need to likely block the vanilla versions and use InI or simple spawners.

Likewise, the following creatures just refuse to remap, period: -Karkinos -Basilisk

but aside from that, everything works perfectly!
