[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

+Replaced the old Ichthyovenator model with a new, updated model
-The new model has underweight, overweight, and baby morphs
-The new Ichthy has three skins:
Lizard, by Twilightwolf, concept by Natahi4
Striped, by Callie, Triptrap, and Omnomnivore
Deepsea, by Triptrap and Omnomnivore
-Ichthy currently is missing its 4 and 5 calls. This is normal.


[h3]Megalosaurus[/h3]
+The Megalosaurus has been going to the gym over the past week. It has been buffed back up quite a bit.

[h3]Mechanics Changes[/h3]
+Your head now looks straight forward while darting as ichthy, lurdu, mosa, or elasmo
+Improved ease of interacting with foliage for small animals

+Lowered volume of waterfalls

[h3]Balance Changes[/h3]

+Reduced injury damage recieved by struggling out of a mosa jaw from 50 to 40
+Increased Kronosaurus' lunge time by 1.5 seconds, to 2.0 seconds total time lunging
+Buffed the Slippery talent such that 2 talent points invested now give the benefit 3 used to give
+Slightly reduced mosa grab hitbox width
+Elasmosaurus can now struggle out of a Mosa jaw, just like Lurdu and Ichthy
+Kronosaurus damage scaling now behaves like the rex - less damage while small
+Increased Mosasaurus base damage from 140 to 165
+Reduced the ability power tick size scaling on Mosasaurus, such that at larger sizes, ability power ticks arent reduced by as much
