RUINED SETTLEMENTS:

In each center sleeps the boss of the Cretaceous: the Corrupted Theropod. This unknown animal ate the key to the cage of an ancient being, corrupting it into a multi-faced bony Henostone-coated abomination. Projectiles are recommended.

FEATURE CHANGES:

• Added a Temperament System: individual animals randomly spawn with unique personalities. Each species spawns with predetermined ratios of personalities. The eight temperaments are:

• • Protective - Attacks if there is a baby nearby
• • Territorial - Attacks if the player gets too close
• • Opportunist - Attacks the player if they have low health
• • Aggressive - Attacks no matter what
• Added a Trust System: if the player is within 8 blocks of a hatching animal, it will trust the player. For trusted players, animals with hostile temperaments will not attack, and skittish animals won’t run away. Certain species also perform certain actions for trusted players. Trust can be lost when the player attacks the animal, or if it gets too hungry.
