# TOAD Astral Dinos
**Tame the untamable. Breed the extraordinary.**
Ever encountered one of Astraeos' beautiful Astral creatures and wished you could tame it?
**TOAD Astral Dinos** aims to make these unique creatures tamable, breedable and fully usable in your ARK: Survival Ascended adventures, while preserving their original appearance and special characteristics.
## Current Features
**Astral Raptor**
- Fully tamable.
- Supports breeding and fertilized eggs.
- Babies can be hatched, raised and imprinted.
- Custom creature name and HUD icon.
- Retains its original Astral appearance.
- Works on dedicated servers.
More Astral creatures are planned for future updates!
## Manual Spawn Command
Want to try the TOAD Astral Raptor immediately?
Enable admin commands and use:
**Spawn a wild level 120 TOAD Astral Raptor:**
```text
cheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/TOAD_AstralDinos/Dinos/TOAD_AstralRaptor_Character_BP.TOAD_AstralRaptor_Character_BP'" 500 0 0 120
```
You can replace `120` with your preferred wild level.
The creature will spawn approximately 500 units in front of your character.
**Note:** This spawns the custom TOAD version, not the original untamable Astraeos creature.
## Natural Spawning – Experimental
We're currently developing a system to automatically replace naturally spawning Astral Raptors with their tamable TOAD counterparts.
This feature is still experimental and has not yet been confirmed to work reliably on live servers.
**Manual spawning is currently the recommended way to experience the mod.**
## Compatibility
- ARK: Survival Ascended

## Development Roadmap
- Reliable automatic Astral Raptor replacement
- Additional tamable Astral species

## Feedback & Bug Reports
This mod is actively being developed and tested on the **TOAD – The Old And Delirious** ARK cluster.
