Crocodile Stat Adjustments

Crocodile attributes have been reduced, as they were significantly above expected levels, making the animal overly powerful.

Elder Barbary Lion Adjustment

The Elder Barbary Lion now has an increased size, as planned, fixing an issue with the mesh.

Elder Elephant Adjustment

The Elder Elephant’s capsule size has been increased, fixing issues with drinking water and grazing.

Map Adjustments
