This mod will add dinos that provide invaluble assistance while exploring the ARK. These dino's have very high health, stamina and food stats, as well as super high armor saddles. but there in no way fit for combat on high level servers, as they only do the default damage for there species. (A side effect of this is that they do actually make great tanks being able to soak up huge amounts of damage, so could be unbalanced if used for that)

Currently the dino's added are:

The UtilAnky - a pinkish anky that is a metalworkers best friend, this anky has insides so hot anything that can be cooked in a forge when placed in it's inventory will automaticaly smelt down into it's forged equivelent. e.g. metal -> metal ingot, hide+oil -> gasoline

The UtilScorp - A greenish scorpian that is it's own best friend. Any raw meat placed in it's inventory will quickly spoil, which both provides it with food, and it's owner with spoiled meat for all there narcotic needs.

The UtilPenguin - A bluer veriation of the normal one, although much colder. This tux wearing little chappy will keep any consumables nice and fresh. It's a walking super fridge.

The UtilShark - What was once the king of the waves, has not evolved. What's the most terifying thing you can think of?....... precicely, a giant shark trying to say hello through your window. That is precicely that this dino can do. (It's just a shark that can fly.) (it can also use the key saddle, so flying lazer sharks.......)

The UtilToad - A survivor's hopping little buddy. This little guy will not only act like a notmal toad in getting cementing paste from bugs, it will also act like a mobile morter and pestle, just much faster and more effitient. Need narcotics fast, this is the toad for you.

The UtilArgent - Have you even had a bronto or even titan, and fealt like you needed to get it across the map. You could walk it there, and take all the days on the ARK to do so, or.......... you could just pick it up and fly it there with the Utility Argent, it can walk, it can fly (including strafing and backwards), it can even swim and all while being able to carry the ARK's heaviest dinos. (I tested on a titan in the dev kit, and it picked it up just fine.)

The UtilSpino - A mobile smithy, it crafts faster and more effitiently too.

The UtilRex - A mobile fabricator, it crafts faster and more effitiently too.

The UtilDodo - A mini tekreplicator, it crafts faster and more effitiently too. Should contain the engrams for the smithy, fabricator, tek fabricator and mortor and pestal, Provided you have learned the engrams for the items already.

The UtilGriffin - Like the utilArgy just......cooler......faster......better in every way really. The dive has been beefed up, and you can even carry things while diving. Think of it, a griffin divebombing you while carrying a Titan...

The UtilSheep - This fluffy pink guy is one active little one, with mating behaviour similar to real world rabbits, if you leave a mating pair wandering for even a few minutes you'll come back to a whole herd of them, who will all be breeding thus exponentially increasing the population. In other words there great for harvesting vast quantities of wool and rare meats.

The UtilGiganto - A giant pink and blue dino with a huge inventory, and the capability to craft pretty much anything.

The UtilGolem - A huge rock man thing, that just great at getting rocks and stuff.

The UtilMosa - Like the UtilShark but.....bigger......better.....and can have a playform. Finaly the flying fortress that can also be a submarine.

The UtilRaptor - The speedster of the group, and packs a punch too. (once leveled up)

The UtilThylacoleo - The rapid breeding all terain dino for the active survivor.

The UtilTrike - For all your berry harvesting needs.

The UtilDragon - A giant flying forge.

The UtilGorilla - A King(Kong) of the feezer world, It'll keep all your perishables nice and cool.

The UtilManticore - Nothing special as of yet, just a beefed up pink manticore.

I will be adding more dino's to the mod as I come up with useful things they could do.

I have set up a discord server for people who need to ask anything about my mods or just want to have a way to talk about them easily. https://discord.gg/3dRJqjz
