■ Desert Claw - is a global sponsored addon for the Dragon Survival that transforms your boring human! This mod significantly affects gameplay. Work in progress.
■ How to become a Desert Claw?
- At the game's start, you'll be given a choice of several creatures to transform into. If you cancel your selection with ESC, you can return to it later via your inventory.
- An alternative method is to use the Altar from Dragon Survival. Use JEI or REI for searching recipes/items/blocks.

■ Skills
- Bloodlust - When you deal critical damage to non-undead creatures, your Blood Mana regenerates faster.
- Charged Sprint - You run and sneak very quickly, but this makes you hungrier and less steady on block edges.
- Desert Warmth - Your cold blood heats up in the desert, granting you Haste and Strength.
- Tough Lizard - You can’t use many weapons, but as you age you gain extra damage and defense. Leveling up this skill grants +2 bare-hand damage.
- Radiation Immunity - Radiation is rare in this world, but you are completely immune to it. Improved compatibility with other radiation-related mods (Mekanism, Create: Nuclear, Create: Nuclear Tech, The Wasteland Reworked, Radioactive, #forge radiation, Nuclear Science). Compatibility is still not perfect due to the lack of a standardized approach for applying negative radiation effects.
- Night Vision - You can see clearly in the dark.
- Stunning Roar - You unleash a terrifying roar, stunning everyone nearby. It even affects flying creatures and other players. The higher your level, the greater your roar radius.
- Sharpened Fangs - Look at the block you wish to process, and your skill will act as a right-click with an axe. Allows you to clean logs, copper, and other blocks. If you use this skill on a log, you will sharpen your claws and gain the Strength effect.

■ Penalties
- Cold Blood - In cold biomes you suffer from Weakness, and snow blocks inflict damage. If you get very cold, you may completely lose your ability to attack. Keep your lizard warm.
- Truly Frightening - You really do look like a demon. Golems attack you, and even villagers are terrified of you! At least you can steal from them. Perhaps a village hero might make villagers more tolerant for a while.
- Clawed Paws - You can proudly say you have paws! But this severely limits the use of most tools and weapons. While other dragons compensate with levitation, you’re simply a beast.

■ Installation
- Option #1 - add Dragon Survival and Geckolib to your modpack
- Option #2 - use modpack - Play as Dragon: Comfort Edition
