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.

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, Desparia Variants: Scorched, Desparia Variants: Wasteland, Desparia Variants: Lucid, Desparia Variants: Risen.

Can be run with Desparia Variants: Easter Event and Desparia Variants: Valentine's Event.

Why run Collective over the standalones?
