This mod adds a smaller variant of the DodoRex, which can be tamed and breed. By default it has about 33% more Base-Damage (Bite) then a T-Rex. And is around the size of an Allo.

Also by default, it deals 7x more damage to wild Giganotosaurus and receives 5x less damage from wild Giganotosaurus. But only if the Small DodoRex is tamed.

FAQ:

Does it work on Map XYZ? As long as your map uses one of the spawners named at >>Spawn Regions<<, yes! But because those spawn areas on other maps could have different sizes, the Small DodoRex maybe spawn more or less frequent. So if it\'s don\'t working for you, please have a look at the vanilla Game.ini spawn options named at >>Spawn Regions<<.

I cannot find any Small DodoRex on my map? Please have a look at >>Does it work on Map XYZ?<<. Additionally please note, that the default spawn weights make it more rare than a T-Rex.

Does it have a saddle? Yes, but you don\'t need it for riding.

Can you add the real, big DodoRex? Currently the answer is: No, I just don\'t want to do that.

Does it have different colors? Yes, but only colors which look natural. So most of them are dark and look similar. I didn\'t wanted to create a parrot :P

Can babies have different colors or mutations? Didn\'t changed anything to this mechanic, so I guess the answer is: Yes.

Can you add special loot to it? It already uses the loot of an alpha dino like carno or rex. Additionally it gives a little amount of raw mutton.

Can you add the DodoRex Mask? Also included to the loot. Not always given!
