This DLC it will be all about the dwarf dinosaurs including the apex predator of the dwarf dinosaurs in this pack. Basically it should be called the European species pack but I decided to go with the dwarf species expansion.
THE SPECIES:
1. Hatzegopteryx- this species was the apex predator of hatzik Island which is modern-day Romania today and may have been the predator of other Island dwarf dinosaurs including in Italy, the species was not as tall as quetzalcoatlas but it was much heavier and more bulkier than its cousin in North America.

2. Europasaurus- of course the smallest member or one of the smallest members of the brachiosaur family this species would definitely be a fan favorite especially if we want a petting zoo type of environment for this species I hope Frontier includes a very small fence to include as a fence option, also a guest mechanic involving guest feeding this small version of Brachiosaurus and it would be so awesome to see it being fed by our guests.View attachment 380575
3. Zalmoxes- made recently famous in the series prehistoric planet and of course I wouldn't mind if Frontier would bring this little guy into the game because look is more cute Dinosaurs the better. Although homalocephale won't be always the punching bag for big predators in this game anymore.View attachment 380573
4.Tethyshadros- one of the world's smallest hydrosaurus it would be an interesting addition considering that it's beak definitely looks very unique compared to its relatives which may have been used to cut more efficiently when looking for food or used for digging paleontologist still have no idea what exactly the be could have been used for but it could have been used for multiple things on an island that may have been covered in Conifer trees in prehistoric Italy.

Its an interesting idea, but, to be honest, I think it might work better as a species pack rather than as an expansion. I like some of your fence suggestions. I don't think Hatzagopteryx fits into this pack due to its very large size. Some small species that could work in this pack include:
Telmatosaurus, A genus of basal hadrosauromorph dinosaur from the late Cretaceous period from Romania. It was approximately 5 meters (16 feet) in length and 600 kiloggrams (1,300 lb.) in body mass, which has been explained as an instance of insular dwarfism. The generic name was derived from Greek λιμνή, limné, "swamp", a reference to the presumed swamp-dwelling habits of hadrosaurs. The specific name referred to Transylvania.
Kulindadromeus, A herbivorous dinosaur, a basal neornithischian from the Middle Jurassic. The first Kulindadromeus fossil was found in Russia. It grew between 1–1.5 meters (3.3–4.9 feet) long and weighing 2 kilograms (4.4 lb.). Its feather-like integument is evidence for protofeathers being basal to Ornithischia and possibly Dinosauria as a whole, rather than just to Coelurosauria, as previously suspected. The generic name is derived from the Kulinda sites and Classical Greek δρομεύς, dromeus, "runner". The specific name refers to the Zabaykalsky Krai. Kulindadromeus is featured on the flag and coat of arms of Russia's Chernyshevsky District, where it was discovered.
Gideonmantellia, An extinct genus of basal ornithopod dinosaur known from the Early Cretaceous (Barremian stage) Camarillas Formation of Galve, Province of Teruel, Spain. It grew around 1 meter (3.28 feet) in length, and 2 kilograms (4.40 lb.) in body mass. (Source:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fil...e other ornithopods, it was,2 kg in body mass.) The generic name honours the first describer of Hypsilophodon, Gideon Mantell. The specific name honours the late palaeontologist Olga María Amo Sanjuán, who studied the Cretaceous Galve fauna.
Hexinlusaurus, A
genus of
basal ornithischian dinosaur from the Middle
Jurassic of China. It is known from an almost complete, articulated skull and some postcranial material, collected from a terrestrial sandstone within the Lower Shaximiao Formation at the famous dinosaur-bearing quarries at Dashanpu. The genus name honors Professor He Xin-Lu (from the Chengdu University of Technology) + the Greek sauros (=lizard).
Leaellynasaura, A genus of small herbivorous ornithischian dinosaurs from the Early Cretaceous (dated to between 118 and 110 million years ago), first discovered in Dinosaur Cove, Australia. It grew to be around 90 centimeters (3 feet) in length. It is named after Leaellyn Rich, the daughter of the Australian palaeontologist couple Tom Rich and Patricia Vickers-Rich who discovered it. The specific name, amicagraphica, translates to "friend writing" and honours both the Friends of the Museum of Victoria and the National Geographic Society for their support of Australian paleontology. It was featured in the walking with dinosaurs documentary series.
Notohypsilophodon, a genus of ornithopod dinosaur from the late Cretaceous period that was found in the Bajo Barreal Formation of the San Jorge Basin, northern Chubut, Patagonia in Argentina. It grew to be around 1.7 meters (5.6 feet) in length and weighed at 13 kilograms (29 lb.). The generic name combines a Greek νότος, notos, "south wind" with the name of the genus Hypsilophodon. The specific name refers to Comodoro Rivadavia.
Magyarosaurus, A genus of dwarf sauropod dinosaur from late Cretaceous period in Romania. It is one of the smallest-known adult sauropods, measuring only 6 m (20 ft) in length and 750–1,000 kg (1,650–2,200 lb) in body mass. It is known to have had osteoderms.
Paludititan, A genus of titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur which lived in the area of present Romania during the Late Cretaceous. It grew to be around 6 meters (20 feet) in length and 1 metric ton (1.1 short tons) in body mass. The generic name is derived from Latin palus, "marsh" and Greek Titan. The specific name refers to its finding place Nǎlaț-Vad.
Neimongosaurus, A genus of herbivorous therizinosaur theropod dinosaur that lived in Asia during the Late Cretaceous period in what is now the Iren Dabasu Formation in China. It grew between 2.3 to 3 meters (7.5 to 9.8 feet) in length and weighed 91 to 227 kilograms (201 to 500 lb.). he generic name is derived from Nei Mongol, the Chinese name for Inner Mongolia. The specific name honours Yang Zhongjian.
Beipiaosaurus, A genus of therizinosauroid theropod dinosaurs that lived in Asia during the Early Cretaceous in the Yixian Formation. Before the discovery of Yutyrannus, Beipiaosaurus were among the heaviest dinosaurs known from direct evidence to be feathered. Numerous impressions of feather structures were preserved that allowed researchers to determine the feathering color which turned out to be brownish. It grew to be around 2.2 meters (7.2 feet) long and weighing about 27 kilograms (60 lb.). The generic name Beipiaosaurus translates as "Beipiao lizard" after Beipiao, a city in China near the location of its discovery. Beipiaosaurus is known from a single species, B. inexpectus, the specific name, meaning "unexpected" in Latin, referring to the "surprising features in these animals"
Jianchangosaurus, A genus of therizinosaurian dinosaur that lived approximately 126 million years ago during the early part of the Cretaceous Period from the Yixian Formation in what is now China. It is estimated to have grown to be 2 meters (6.6 feet) long and weighed around 20 kilograms (44 lb.). The genus name Jianchangosaurus, means "Jianchang lizard", and is derived from "Jianchang", the name of the county of Liaoning Province, China, where the specimen was found, and the Greek word "sauros" (σαυρος) meaning "lizard". The specific name yixianensis, refers to the Yixian Formation where the specimen was found, and the Latin suffix "-ensis" meaning "originating in".
Gargoyleosaurus, It is one of the earliest ankylosaurs known from relatively complete fossil remains. The holotype was discovered in 1995 at the Bone Cabin Quarry West locality, in Albany County, Wyoming in exposures of the late Jurassic section of the Morrison Formation. It grew between 3–3.5 meters (9.8–11.5 feet) in length and 300–754 kilograms (661–1,662 lb.) in body mass. Its name means gargoyle lizard.
Mymoorapelta: A species of nodosaurid ankylosaur from the late Jurassic period found in Morrison Formation of western Colorado and central Utah, USA. It is one of the earliest known nodosaurids; and is also one of the smallest ankylosaurs currently known and the smallest known quadrupedal dinosaur from the Morrison Formation. Mymoorapelta was the first Jurassic ankylosaur named from North America. It grew to be around 3 meters (9.8 feet) long and weighed around 300–562 kilograms (661–1,239 lb.). The generic name deriving from the names of Marilyn Mygatt and the Moores, who had discovered the quarry, and the Greek root pelta, meaning “shield”, due to the preserved armor. The specific name is after Chris Mays, the president of the Dinamation International Corporation and Society, who funded the initial excavation of the Mygatt-Moore Quarry.
Kunbarrasaurus, A small herbivorous ankylosaurian dinosaur that lived during the Cretaceous period found in the the Allaru Formation of Australia. The holotype specimen represents the most complete dinosaur skeleton ever found in Eastern Gondwana (Australia, Antarctica, Madagascar, and India) and the most complete ankylosaurian skeleton from the entirety of the Gondwanan continents. Its gut contents indicate it ate seeds, fruits, fibrous or vascular plants, and possibly ferns. The genus name is derived from Kunbarra - the word for 'shield' in the Mayi language of the local Wunumara people and sauros- a Greek word meaning lizard. The specific name ieversi honours Mr Ian Ivers, the property manager who originally found the fossil.
Stegouros, A genus of ankylosaurian dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous Dorotea Formation of southern Chile. It was estimated at to be about 1.8–2 metres (5.9–6.6 ft) long. The generic name combines the Greek stegos, meaning "roof" and oura, meaning "tail", referring to the roof-like covering of the tail end. The specific name elengassen is derived from an armoured creature in the mythology of the Aónik’enk, the indigenous inhabitants of the region where the holotype was discovered.
Eustreptospondylus, A genus of megalosaurid theropod dinosaur, from the Late Jurassic period (some time between 163 and 154 million years ago) in southern England, at a time when Europe was a series of scattered islands. It is believed to have fed on smaller dinosaurs and pterosaurs, or scavenged the carcasses of fish, marine reptiles, and other dinosaurs. It is believed to have been capable of swimming from island to island similar to what Komodo Dragons today. If it gets added I think the developers should have require a lot of water in its enclosure with either a fish feeder or a meat feeder.
Masiakasaurus, A genus of small predatory noasaurid theropod dinosaurs from the Late Cretaceous of Madagascar. It was a small theropod, reaching 1.8–2.1 m (5.9–6.9 ft) long and weighing 20 kg (44 lb). Based on its unique teeth structure, it believed to have fed on small vertebrates, fish, invertebrates, and possibly even fruits. In Malagasy, masiaka means "vicious"; thus, the genus name means "vicious lizard". The type species, Masiakasaurus knopfleri, was named after the musician Mark Knopfler, whose music inspired the expedition crew. If gets added I would recommend that the developers require it to have fruit vegetation in its enclosure, along with a meat or fish feeder.
Spectrovenator, A genus of basal abelisaurid theropod dinosaur that lived during the early Cretaceous period recovered from the Quiricó Formation, close to the Coração de Jesus Municipality, located in northern Minas Gerais in Brazil. Its name means ghost hunter because the holotype was unexpectedly found under the holotype of Tapuiasaurus.
Sciurumimus, An extinct genus of tetanuran theropod from the late Jurassic period found in a limestone quarry close to Painten in Lower Bavaria in Germany. Sciurumimus is known from a single juvenile holotype fossil that is exceptionally well-preserved, with full skeleton in complete articulation along with fine details of soft tissue. The fossil preserves filamentous plumage at the tail base and on other parts of the body. Its name means "Squirrel-mimic," named for its tail's resemblance to that of the tree squirrel, Sciurus.
Grippia, A species of early ichthyopterygian found along the coasts of Greenland, China, Japan, Norway, and Sulfur Mountain Formation in Canada from the early Triassic period. The first specimen was discovered in 1929, which was the most complete specimen found for that species, but it was destroyed during a bombing raid in World War II. It grew to be around 1–1.5 meters (3.3–4.9 ft.) long. Its diet has been debated with early research suggesting that it ate fish and mollusks, while more recent research has suggested it was omnivorous.
Chaohusaurus: A species of basal ichthyopterygian, possibly ichthyosaur, from the Early Triassic found in the Majianshan Limestone Formation located in Chaohu and Jialingjang Formation located in Yuanan, China. It grew between 0.7–1 meters (2.3–3.3 feet) long and weighing 1.3–3.1 kilograms (2.9–6.8 lb.). It is one of the smallest known ichthyopterygians. The generic name refers to lake Chao Hu. The specific name refers to the Geishan location.
Gulosaurus, An extinct genus of basal grippidian ichthyopterygian known from the early Triassic Vega-Phroso Siltstone Member of the Sulphur Mountain Formation of east-central British Columbia, Canada. It grew to be around 1.5 meters long. The name means 'Helm's wolverine lizard'. The genus name refers to the Wolverine Nordic and Mountain Society, who maintain the area around Wapiti Lake where it was found, while the species name refers to Dr Charles Helm, who is a leading paleontologist around this same area.
Xinminosaurus, An extinct genus of cymbospondylid ichthyosaur known from the middle Triassic period of Guizhou Province, China. It grew around 2.32 meters (7.6 feet) long. The generic name is derived from Xinmin, the district where the fossil was found, and Greek sauros, "lizard". The specific name is derived from Greek kataktes, "crusher", in reference to one of the taxon's autapomorphies - the presence of bulbous and laterally compressed crushing teeth in maxilla and posterior dentary.
Vallecillosaurus, An extinct genus of mosasauroid from the Late Cretaceous period, that lived in Mexico, in the state of Nuevo León. It was a relatively small reptile measuring less than 1 m (3.3 ft) long.
Haasiasaurus, An extinct genus of early mosasaur from the late Cretaceous period found in near Ein Yabrud, in the Palestinian West Bank. Haasiasaurus was one of the oldest cenomanian mosasaur. It grew to be around 1 meter (3.3 feet) long. It is named in honour of the palaeontologist Georg Haas.
Portunatasaurus, A genus of mosasauroid squamate that lived during the Late Cretaceous period that recovered from the Adriatic-Dinaric Carbonate Platform in what is now Croatia. It grew around 1 meter (3.3 feet) in length.
Lindwurmia, A rhomaleosaurid plesiosaur from the early Jurassic period found in Germany. It grew between 2 to 3 meters (6.6 to 9.8 feet) long.
Leptocleidus, An extinct genus of plesiosaur, belonging to the family Leptocleididae. It was a small plesiosaur, measuring only up to 3 meters (9.8 feet) long.
Nichollssaura, An extinct genus of leptocleidid plesiosaur from the Early Cretaceous Boreal Sea of North America. It was found in the early Albian age Clearwater Formation near Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada. Nichollssaura was a small plesiosaur, reaching 2.5–3 meters (8.2–9.8 feet) in length and 80 kilograms (180 lb.) in body mass. It fills an approximate 40-million-year gap in the fossil record of North American plesiosaurs.
Umoonasaurus, An extinct genus of plesiosaur, belonging to the family Leptocleididae, that lived approximately 115 million years ago during the Early Cretaceous period in shallow seas covering parts of what is now Australia. It was a relatively small animal around 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) long. An identifying trait of Umoonasaurus is three crest-ridges on its skull. The holotype fossil was discovered in the Zorba Extension Opal Field near the town of Coober Pedy, and is very well preserved, representing the most complete opalized fossil of a vertebrate known. The generic name is a combination of the Antakirinja name for the Coober Pedy region, Umoona, and the Greek word sauros, meaning "lizard." The specific name comes from the Greek words demos and scylla, meaning "of the people" and "sea monster," respectively, referring to the public donations used to acquire the holotype.
