Feras Dragontopia Edits
If you have spent any time in the Dragontopia DLC, you already know that Lumina and Umbra are two of the most striking creatures in ARK: Survival Ascended. But even the best-looking tames can start to feel familiar after a few hundred hours. That is exactly where Feras Dragontopia Edits comes in. This add-on delivers reworked meshes for both creatures through their own Character Blueprints, giving survivors a brand-new visual identity without touching the gameplay they already know and love.
Before you download Feras Dragontopia Edits, keep one important detail in mind: you still need to own the Dragontopia DLC. The mod does not unlock the creatures for you, it only changes how they look once you have access to them.
What the Mod Changes
Feras Dragontopia Edits is not a total overhaul. It is a focused cosmetic edit that respects the original design philosophy of the Dragontopia expansion. Both creatures keep their stats, abilities, taming methods, and functionality. Only the appearance changes.
Lumina
- Features an edited Lumina mesh
- Uses its own Character Blueprint
- Keeps the original Lumina gameplay and functionality
Umbra
- Features an edited Umbra mesh
- Uses its own Character Blueprint
- Keeps the original Umbra gameplay and functionality
Because each variant runs on a separate blueprint, the mod remains fully compatible with the vanilla creatures. Nothing is overwritten, and nothing breaks if you decide to switch back.
Wild Spawns and Version Compatibility
Once the mod is active, wild Lumina and Umbra spawn as the Feras Edits versions automatically. There is no manual spawn configuration to fiddle with, which makes setup painless on both single-player and dedicated servers.
Feras Dragontopia Edits for ARK: Survival Ascended is built to track the current live branch of the game, and it has remained stable across recent ASA patches. As with any mod, it is worth checking that your server or client is running an up-to-date build before you install, since mismatched versions are the most common cause of missing creatures. If you use the foxygame.net launcher, Feras Dragontopia Edits sits right in its add-on catalog, so you can enable it with a single click and let the launcher handle updates whenever a new game patch drops.
Converting Existing Creatures
Already tamed a Lumina or Umbra and worried you will have to start over? You will not. The mod includes a conversion system that lets you swap between appearances at will:
- Vanilla Lumina to Feras Lumina, and back
- Vanilla Umbra to Feras Umbra, and back
This means you can experiment with the new look, decide you prefer the classic silhouette, and switch back without ever losing a tame or hunting down a replacement.
Spawn Codes and Saddles
For administrators and players who prefer to spawn creatures directly, the mod provides two blueprint paths:
- Lumina: FerasLumina_Character_BP
- Umbra: FerasUmbra_Character_BP
Saddle support is equally straightforward. Both Feras variants use the original Dragontopia saddles, so any gear you have already crafted or stored will work immediately with the edited versions.
How to Install Feras Dragontopia Edits
Installation follows the standard ARK: Survival Ascended mod workflow. Subscribe to the mod through the in-game mod browser, add it to your active mod list, and restart your session. On a dedicated server, add the mod ID to your configuration and let the server download it on startup. If you are unsure how to install, the in-game mod menu walks you through activation step by step, and the mod page lists the exact creature codes shown above.
One quick tip: load order rarely matters for a cosmetic mod like this, but if you run several Dragontopia-related add-ons, place Feras Dragontopia Edits after any mod that alters the base creatures to avoid conflicts.
Final Thoughts
Feras Dragontopia Edits is a clean, low-risk way to refresh two fan-favorite creatures in ARK: Survival Ascended. It respects the original gameplay, supports seamless conversion between appearances, and requires no manual spawn setup. If you own the Dragontopia DLC and want Lumina and Umbra to feel new again, this mod is an easy recommendation. Just remember to keep your game version current, and you will be flying a fresh-looking dragon in no time.
