Bonjour! Welcome to Additional Aberrant Dinos, the mod that adds additional dinos, that are aberrant.

All additional dinos have the Aberrant health reduction and damage increase, as well as the snazzy glowy light effects that we all love, all are breedable, lay eggs and all that jazz.

As the new Aberrant versions are unique to this mod (with the exceptions of the Megalania, Spider and Dimorph which were added to the game files but unused) removing the mod will also remove any of these new creatures.

Not all new additional creatures are immune to radiation, those that aren't will be noted.

Other than the above mentioned I will not be giving any additional creatures any new or unique abilites, they will be identical to their vanilla counterparts other than being Aberrant.

All additional creatures are added to the existing Aberration spawn containers. If there is a creature included in the mod that you do not wish to be in your game for whatever reason feel free to remove it in the usual way using your Game.Ini

Please do not spam the comments asking for this creature or that creature, eventually I will get around to creating and adding Aberrant versions of all vanilla creatures, yes including fliers, with my priority being given to those that I feel best fit the map.

For full spawn codes of these creatures please see here: Spawn Codes




Aberrant Rex
Aberrant Megatherium
Aberrant Wyvern - Will be delayed until the dev kit updates with Extinction assests as I want to use the Forest Wyvern as a base
Aberrant Rock Golem
Aberrant Jerboa


Note: Removed Aberrant Direbear due to it being officially added to Aberration with the Dino TLC patch, will also remove the Gigantopithicus when it hits as well.


'But Kraaaaaken' I hear you cry right now, 'you've added a Mantis and Mantis eat Deathworm Horns and there's no Deathworms on Aberration so we can't tame them. You suck!'

Well, suck I may, but that doesn't mean I didn't think of this! The mod also adds a new engram (learnable at level 0 for 0 point) for Edible Crab Claws. Not only do Mantis' of all types find them delicious, but you can also use them as a replacement for all types of horns in the recipe for Broth of Enlightenment. To craft up this delicious treat, you'll need 1 Alpha Karkinos Claw, 1 Oil, 2 Sparkpowder, 2 Ascerbic Mushrooms, and 2 Auric Mushrooms.

Please report any bugs or problems here: Bug Reports

The subject of fliers on Aberration has been a hot topic, and therefore I have made my statement on this mod and fliers here: This Mods Policy On Fliers and how to remove them if desired


If your server is awesome to be running this mod and you'd like to advertise it, please do so here: Server Advertising

As always, I raise a glass to my homies over at the Ark Modding Discord, whose wit and wisdom occasionally sinks in.

This is not a drill, repeat this is not a drill! I have travelled back home and personally collected and mailed my PC to my new address. It will be back in my possession around 14th-16th November (was hoping for sooner but rapid delivery costs were way too expensive) thank you all for your patience, I have lots of plans afoot, so watch this space!
