Desparia Variant Collective

Desparia Variant Collective adds in many variants of existing creatures to your ARK. These variants are naturally able to breed with vanilla versions with the baby inheriting the female's variant type.

This mod should NOT be run with the standalone versions. It has everything they provide, mixing them may cause conflicts. These being- Desparia Variants: Naturals, Desparia Variants, Desparia Variants: Aberrant, Desparia Variants: Forgotten, and Desparia Variants: Lucid.

Natural- Natural variants are inspired by real world animals, some matching closely to their species, others with more creativity. These spawn in place of their vanilla counterparts (Normal) at a 10% chance. Natural creatures make for great utility, being faster, able to carry more, and a bit more bulky than vanilla creatures.
