ByWhile the forthcoming is an official mod adding in tons of new areas and creatures, the Ark community hasn't just been sitting on its hands waiting for additional content.There are easily thousands of mods ready and waiting to be downloaded to increase your dino options, which leads to the question - how do you sift through all the drek and find the good stuff?That's where we come in! These are the 9 best mods we've come across so far for adding new creatures or extending the options on current dinos in your experience. All Color Dinos(Or )Rather than adding in new dinos to the spawn list, this mod instead extends the range of coloration on all existing creatures for a more satisfying color palette.Blue rexs, shockingly white raptors, pink and teal fish, jet black flying birds, and more can all be achieved by adding in a few extra colors to the various creature skins.The alternate version linked above has a similar functionality, but lets you pull up a color wheel and select your own color options for each individual dino you come across. Homing PigeonOne of the single most useful creature mods, the homing pigeon won't be carrying your tribe into battle or even scouting out locations - but it does provide a much-needed service.This mod lets you place flags as locations, then equip the homing pigeon leg ring on any of your flying beasts. You can manually recall any flyers to the flag, or when you die, your 'pigeon' will automatically return to the flag location.No more losing your dumb flyers who get eaten while randomly wandering around! The tribe log is also updated when the flyer is recalled, letting your tribe know what happened so everyone is well informed of player activity. Jurassic Park Expansion15 new dinos and creatures are added with this mod, all modeled after dinosaurs from the Jurassic Park franchise.
And featuring their JP sound effects as well!Remember the Spinasaurus from Jurassic Park 3, or that goo-spitting Dilophosaurus from the original movie? Yep, they're both there, as is the poor goat that gets eaten by the T-Rex.Now just build some pens that will inevitably fail and invite your friends and family to come gawk at your tamed dinos. I'm sure nothing at all will go wrong, and it certainly won't go wrong four separate movies in a row! Manticore XLately we have been getting more mythical beasts in updates, expansions, and official mods - but there's always more room for magical creatures in Ark's vast landscapes.While Scorched Earth gave us, this fan mod adds in the legendary Manticore, which is tamed in a similar way by stealing an egg and then pacifying a female of the species to acquire milk.Another flying beast is always a welcome addition. And as you can see by the size comparison to some golems, these bad buys get big!
That wraps up our list! If you want to find a server running a particular mod rather than setting it up in your own game, you can get a huge list of all servers with different settings over on.What did you think of our list of the best dino mods currently available for Ark: Survival Evolved?
