This mod adds a new dinosaur to the game: Balaur, a paravian with dual sickle claws on each foot that lived in what is now Romania during the Cretaceous period. It is unlocked on Isla Tacano, at a high level of Entertainment division reputation. Though it uses the Velociraptor rig, it is a (relatively) docile herbivore following recent interpretations of the animal (outlined here: "The phylogenetic affinities of the bizarre Late Cretaceous Romanian theropod Balaur bondoc (Dinosauria, Maniraptora): dromaeosaurid or flightless bird?"), and because it has no prey drive and does not scare herbivores, it should fit perfectly into an enclosure with a certain miniature rhabdodontid it shared its environment with.
This mod requires a mod called the Awesome Cobra Script Extender/ACSE. The installation procedure is as follows:
Depending on how many ACSE-reliant mods you already have installed, you may encounter a strange issue when using the ACSE patch: the Balaur research icon may overlap with one of the pre-existing icons in the Global Operations menu, making the icon unselectable. To remedy this issue, follow these steps:

Known Issues
If you find any serious issues that aren't acknowledged above, please do report them; the more descriptive the reports the better, "game crashed please help" isn't something I can go off of very well.
This mod requires a mod called the Awesome Cobra Script Extender/ACSE. The installation procedure is as follows:
- Download ACSE/the Awesome Cobra Script Extender from https://github.com/OpenNaja/ACSE/releases, the download link should read 'Awesome.Cobra.Script.Extender.zip'
- If you didn't already download it to the directory, move the Awesome.Cobra.Script.Extender.zip file to the following directory: 'Steam\steamapps\common\Jurassic World Evolution\Win64\ovldata\'
- Extract the file. If you're using 7Zip, which is what I use for all of this, make sure you click 'Extract Here' instead of any of the other options. If a folder named 'ACSE' appears after you extract the file, you've installed it correctly and you can delete the .zip file (not the folder). If a folder named 'Awesome.Cobra.Script.Extender' appears, delete that folder (not the .zip file, you still need that) and try again.
- Download this very mod
- Either drag/drop or copy/paste the 'BalaurBondoc' folder to the following directory: 'steam\steamapps\common\Jurassic World Evolution\Win64\ovldata' Do not rename the folder, and take care not to drop it into any of the other folders in ovldata, and don't replace anything in the other folders if you don't want a messed up game!
Depending on how many ACSE-reliant mods you already have installed, you may encounter a strange issue when using the ACSE patch: the Balaur research icon may overlap with one of the pre-existing icons in the Global Operations menu, making the icon unselectable. To remedy this issue, follow these steps:
- Right click to leave the Global Operations menu and go back to the base research menu
- Enter the Fossils menu
- Right click to leave the Fossils menu
- Re-enter the Global Operations menu. The icon should now be selectable.

Known Issues
- Brachiosaurus icon in map view (this is consistent with all of the other new species added by other modders thus far)
- No footstep sounds (this is an issue with all of my new species thus far, I have no idea what the problem is)
- Slight matcol stretching on the rearmost tail feathers
- A bit of jaw/neck clipping for a couple animations owing to the fluffy neck
