Thylacoleo Bloodlines: Wanderers
Something has changed in the forests of ARK: Survival Ascended. The Thylacoleo you once knew as a single ambush predator has fractured into four distinct bloodlines, each shaped by the harsh realities of survival on the ARK. Thylacoleo Bloodlines: Wanderers introduces the Wancoleo, Leocoleo, Tribalcoleo, and Drakecoleo, turning one of the game's most feared creatures into an entire ecosystem of variants with their own abilities, roles, and saddles. Whether you want to tame them, ride them into war, or simply survive an encounter, this add-on reshapes how you approach the redwood forests.
What the Mod Adds
Thylacoleo Bloodlines: Wanderers for ARK: Survival Ascended is a creature expansion mod that splits the Thylacoleo into four lineages. Each variant has a unique passive or triggered ability that changes how it performs in combat and how you use it on your team.
- Wancoleo, the Survivor: When its health drops below 25 percent, it heals 4 percent of its max health. With a hard cap of 10,000 HP, it is built to outlast rather than overpower.
- Leocoleo, the Ambusher: Its Lethal Strike lands a critical hit for 150 to 300 percent damage, with roughly a one-minute cooldown. A single, devastating blow.
- Tribalcoleo, the Pack Tank: Pack Bond grants damage reduction for each Tribalcoleo nearby, up to 50 percent with four together. Alone it is an ordinary hunter; as a pack, it becomes a wall.
- Drakecoleo, the Apex: Draconic Bite has a 20 percent chance for a 150 percent critical bite with 20 percent lifesteal on every bite. Losing 20 percent of its health in under 10 seconds triggers Draconic Fury for 10 seconds, raising lifesteal to 200 percent while its eyes glow and fire runs up its arms. It is the rarest variant and the hardest to find and tame.
Three new saddle variants also arrive with the mod, giving each bloodline its own mounted identity. If you want to test them immediately, spawn commands are available for both wild and tamed versions, including level 150 gmsummon entries and giveitem codes for the Cazador, Guerra, and Ligera saddles.
Version Compatibility and Installation
Supported ARK: Survival Ascended Versions
The mod is designed for current builds of ARK: Survival Ascended and follows the standard mod framework used by CurseForge-hosted content. As with most creature mods, you should keep your game client updated before installing, since older builds may not recognize the new creature blueprints or saddle variants. If you play on a server, make sure the server and all clients run matching versions to avoid spawn and taming issues.
How to Install
If you are wondering how to install Thylacoleo Bloodlines: Wanderers, the process is straightforward. Search for the mod by name inside the in-game mod browser, subscribe, and let the download complete before launching your world. Server owners should add the mod to their cluster configuration and restart so the new creatures register correctly.
For players who prefer a smoother setup, the foxygame.net launcher handles the entire process in a single click, pulling Thylacoleo Bloodlines: Wanderers straight into your mod list without manual file juggling. The launcher also keeps your add-ons updated automatically, so version mismatches between you and your server become far less of a headache.
One important note from the creator: the mod does not have spawn points configured yet, so the variants will not appear naturally in the wild until that is set up. There may also be minor errors in the current build. The Discord community is the place to ask questions, report issues, and follow announcements about mods, projects, and upcoming ideas. The creator's primary language is Spanish, but everyone is welcome to join.
Why It Belongs in Your Mod List
Thylacoleo Bloodlines: Wanderers adds real decision-making to a creature most players already respect. Do you want a damage sponge that refuses to die, a burst assassin, a pack anchor, or a lifestealing apex predator? Each bloodline answers that question differently, and the saddle variants let you commit fully to a role. If you download Thylacoleo Bloodlines: Wanderers for ARK: Survival Ascended, you are not just adding four creatures. You are adding four playstyles to a forest that already punishes careless survivors.
