Biodiversity - What is it?
Biodiversity is a mod that aims to expand Lethal Company's current selection of enemies by adding variants of pre-existing entities and some original stuff along the way.
Their goal is to provide unique gameplay interactions and spice up the already present gameplay loop, along with aiding the player in some cases.
Currently adds:
- 2 Enemy variants.
- 1 Sub-entity (currently disabled by default).
- 2 Critter variants (simpler, environmental entities).
- 1 Scrap item with 7 texture variations.
- And more coming Soon™.
Entities
The Aloe - Bracken Variant
Spoilers
The Aloe is a neutral entity with AI similar to the Bracken's.
They spawn inside and target players based on their HP, so the lower it is the more interested she'll be in them. Once a player is caught by an Aloe, they'll be taken away and held captive in her favorite spot, where she'll nurse them back to health.
After or before being fully healed, you may free yourself by mashing space bar; Be careful though, as they won't let you escape that easily!
The way you counter them is the same as the Bracken's, so watch your back and run away as fast as you can!
Ogopogo - Earth Leviathan Variant
Spoilers
The Ogopogo are hostile entities which spawn in the water with similar behavioral patterns to Earth Leviathans.
They spawn at the bottom of Vow, March, and Adamance's bodies of water, and never route outside of those. Any player spotted near their general area will be targeted and promptly dragged underwater where its young, the Vermin, will eat away at them.
The only way to effectively counter them is to run away as soon as you hear their warning signal or hold onto an active stun device while it's snatching you.
Vermin, Prototax and Leaf boys - Critter Variants
Spoilers
Vermin, Prototax and Leaf boys are some of Biodiversity's more simple entities.
Vermin are the spawn of the Ogopogo, and come out during floods or after their parent Ogo has dragged prey into their nest.
Try smacking em!
Prototax are four legged fungi creatures related (non-biologically) to Spore lizards. Just like spore lizards, they wander around and remain passive, though Prototax will release spore clouds only when damaged.
Their spores are toxic, so leave them be!
Leaf boys are small, leaf-like organisms that like to run around and have fun during the early hours of the day.
They're quite timorous, so watch yourself around them at night! They might attract unwanted attention.

Known Issues - Whoops :3
There are some problems with our entities that we'll look into fixing in the future, like:
- Ogopogo can wander into the ground on certain spots on Vow.
- Ogopogo is NOT supported on moons other than the ones in the default spawn rarity config. If you make him spawn there he'll be in places he's not supposed to be.
- Vermin are kind of broken at the moment, so we've decided to disable them by default now via me.biodiversity.ogopogo.cfg. They no longer log spam like in previous versions, but they spawn inside the ground and are mostly a non-factor, generally they just take away from night time power level by being there so yeah :P.
- Prototax's spew sound effect is currently global, but only for the host? Really weird bug.
- Prototax's spew fog can sometimes not be seen by clients.
