Varanus priscus (Megalania)
(NEW SPECIES)
This mod adds a new species to the game: Megalania (Varanus priscus), an extinct species of giant monitor lizard, part of the megafaunal assemblage that inhabited Australia during the Pleistocene. It is the largest terrestrial lizard known to have existed, reaching an estimated length of 3.5 to 7 metres, and weighing between 97–1,940 kg. Megalania is thought to have had a similar ecology to the living Komodo dragon. The youngest fossil remains of giant monitor lizards in Australia date to around 50,000 years ago.
This is a "New Species" mod, this means that it doesn't repleace any creatures from your game, it adds a whole new one!
DISCLAIMER:
If you open the species on the species viewer, please restart the game before loading any saves. If you don't do this, the game will most likely break. This is a common bug with New Species sadly.
New Species for now are highly experimental, and they may have bugs or issues that can't be fixed, or that will take some time to do so. This one is safe to use, but some animations when it fights and hunts don't work properly, so take that in mind when taking screenshots or making any type of video or content with it. If they can be fixed in the future, they will be fixed.
