Exclusive skins

Exclusive Skins are unique skins that were obtainable by the player through special means. Only a limited number of Exclusive Skins are given out to particular players, such as developers and pre-release donators.

Players who do not own Exclusive Skins can still acquire one if one or both of their dinosaur’s parents have them. If one parent has the skin, the offspring has a chance to inherit layers from the exclusive skin. If both parents have the skin, then it is a 100% chance to inherit aspects of the exclusive skin. The offspring cannot use the skin again if it dies.

At the moment, there are fifteen Exclusive Skins:

• Senoba’s Rex (Exclusive to Senoba.)
• Rook’s Pteranodon (Exclusive to Rook.)
• Callie's Apatosaurus (Exclusive to Callie.)
• Sacred Megalosaurus (Translator exclusive)
• Glimmer Megalosaurus (Pre-release donor exclusive.)
• Glimmer Mosasaurus (Pre-release donor exclusive.)
• Glimmer Apatosaurus (Pre-release donor exclusive.)
• Glimmer Acrocanthosaurus (Pre-release donor exclusive.)
• Glimmer Tyrannosaurus (Pre-release donor exclusive.)
• Glimmer Saichania (Exclusive to Howdn.)
• Glimmer Oryctodromeus (Exclusive to Mexymii.)
• Glimmer Tropeognathus (Exclusive to TurboTurkey.)(Not yet implemented.)
• Phantom Shimmer Pteranodon (Event prize.)
• Magma Shimmer Saichania (Event prize.)
• Shimmer Ichthyovenator (Event prize, not yet released.)

Note: "Glimmer" denotes a donor skin, "shimmer" denotes an event prize skin.

It is exclusive to Translators that have a 100% completion on their language. (Note that you must be fluent in the language to become a Translator)

Donor-exclusive Skins

"Glimmer" skins are aptly named after their ability to glow in the dark.

• The Glimmer Megalosaurus skin is only available for players who donated for the Mighty Megalosaurus rank, which was $70. This is no longer purchasable.

• Similarly, the Glimmer Mosasaurus skin is also only available for players who donated for the Menacing Mosasaurus rank, which was $550. This as well is no longer purchasable.

• The Glimmer Acrocanthosaurus skin is no different. It was $120, gave access to the Accredited Acrocanthosaurus rank, and is no longer purchasable.

• Similarly, the Glimmer Mosasaurus skin is also only available for players who donated for the Menacing Mosasaurus rank, which was $550. This as well is no longer purchasable.

• The Glimmer Tyrannosaurus Rex skin is no different. The purchase tier gave access to the Terrifying Tyrannosaurus rank. It is also no longer purchasable.

• The Glimmer Apatosaurus skin is only available for players who donated for the Amazing Apatosaurus rank, which was $2,800. Players who donated for the Amazing Apatosaurus rank not only received the Glimmer Apatosaurus skin, but could request for a creature of their choice to be added to the game. At the moment, this rank can still be purchased and you can request your own creature, but you won't get the Glimmer Apatosaurus skin - instead you will eventually receive the glimmer skin of the creature you requested!

Event-exclusive Skins

"Shimmer" skins are aptly named after their ability to glow in the dark.

The Phantom Shimmer Pteranodon skin was only available as an event prize for players who participated and won in the Pteranodon Video Contest of June 2019. This makes it the first glowing skin to not be part of a donated rank. Originally, this skin had a non-glowing variant, though this was scrapped.

The Magma Shimmer Saichania skin was only available as an event prize for the participants of the Saichania Video Contest of January 2020.

Upcoming Exclusive Skins

The Shimmer Ichthyovenator Skin currently has it's event running and will soon be available as an event prize to all who participate.

In the future, it is very likely that every creature will have its own Shimmer skin. Similarly to the Pteranodon Video Contest, future community events may give them out - so if you wish to obtain one, stay sharp!
