Peculiar Predators - A UP1 Addon
The author built this one for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
We all miss the original Unusual Prehistory 1. It got discontinued and remaked into the actual Unusual Prehistory 2. It also has addons that people use daily in their modpacks, such as:
Similar Prehistory (Discontinued as of UP2)
Marvelous Menagerie (Turned into an independent mod)
Odd Organisms (Merged into Marvelous Menagerie)
Peculiar Primordials (Unknown)
These ones are the only ones we have now.
So now, here's a new UP1 addon, that being, "Peculiar Predators"!
This new addon is small, but interesting.
It adds 3 new mobs you can revive:
Shastasaurus: A giant ichthyosaur.
Troodon: A bird-like dino.
Yutyrannus: A snowy T-Rex.
Requires GeckoLib and Unusual Prehistory.
Can't believe this mod got more downloads than the pigeons one! I thought that would have been impossible.
