The Survival Ascended port of the original Play As Dino mod for Survival Evolved. This version also adds several improvements over the original version:

Improved creation menu: not only will you be able to select any color for your dino, you can also modify the body of your dino.
Improved building: you can just select and build structures from the hotbar.
Improved interaction: interact with any character, structure or item.

Customize dino

The mod allows you to play as any ARK dino (modded and vanilla), but also adds official dinos that are meant to the played as and provide the best quality. Currently the following are available and more will be added over time:

Argentavis
Direwolf
Raptor
Titanoboa

The mod comes with the following features:

Customization: you can fully customize your creature (colors and body parts)
Admin menu: allows admins to change mod settings and properties of individual species on the fly. E.g. the starting levels and enable or disable specific creatures. This can be access via the console: cheat ScriptCommand PADAdminSettings
Playing and breeding as almost all dinos (vanilla and modded)
Start as a baby dino: you can start as a baby dino for an extra challenge but any gained levels as a baby will count as wild levels allowing you to reach an higher level in the end.
Toggle harvesting all items and changing harvesting settings (Hold R on PC)
New structures: allow to craft and build walls, a spawn point/bed and territory marker (which buffs you and your allies) with a primitive look
