Remember that dinosaur-like creature that was featured in one of No Man’s Sky trailers prior to its release? You know, like the one featured in the header image. I’m pretty sure that most of you were disappointed by the absence of such creatures in the final game, right? Well, not anymore as a new mod was released that introduces really gigantic creatures to No Man’s Sky NEXT.
Created by modder ‘Redmas’, the Fantastic Beasts mod for No Man’s Sky NEXT changes Creatures’ size, numbers and behaviors. As such, PC gamers can now witness gigantic creatures, similar to those that were advertised by Hello Games.
Thanks to this mod, there are various creature sizes readjustments, flying lizards are bigger now and go grab preys on the ground, birds are bigger and they can fly closer to the ground, the Flying Snake is bigger and slower, there are massive sharks, whales and trex, and there are more creatures encounters than in the vanilla version.
Those interested can download the mod from here.
Have fun!

I really don’t get why people are trying to polish this turd. Even with the update it’s a mess.
Have you played it? I made fun of it for years before trying it. Jumped in with the NEXT update and it’s incredibly fun and far from a ‘mess’.
I jumped in with NEXT, and play along side folks that played “vanilla”. Once the wowness factor wears off, it still needs a lot of polish. Although I haven’t noticed, I heard they have dropped a patch or two since NEXT to start doing just that. So far I’m enjoying it, but I didn’t expect to have my hardware to have trouble running the game like it does, lololol.
In any case, just got my farm up and starting to get my production in line, looking to replace my first ship and get a replacement freighter, as the one I got for free ended up only having 15 slots, and I didn’t even think to reload the 2nd to last save before actually accepting.
With NEXT there ARE giant creatures though…
I was about to post the same thing, I have seen some big beasties roaming around
