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 fourteen Exclusive Skins:

• Senoba’s Rex - Exclusive to Senoba, a map maker and animator)
• Rook’s Pteranodon (Exclusive to Rook, a Developer)
• Callie's Apatosaurus (Exclusive to Callie, the creator of some dinosaur models)
• 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, a QA tester, and funded the creation of the Saichania)
• Glimmer Oryctodromeus (Exclusive to Mexymii, a Twitch Moderator)
• Glimmer Tropeognathus (Exclusive to TurboTurkey, but Tropeognathus is currently unavailable)
• Phantom Glimmer Pteranodon (Event prize)
• Magma Shimmer Saichania (Event prize)
• Firefly Shimmer Ichthyovenator (Event prize)

Note: "Glimmer" denotes a donor skin, while "shimmer" denotes an event prize skin. The only exception of this is the Phantom Glimmer Pteranodon skin.

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. It is no longer purchasable.

• The Glimmer Mosasaurus skin is only available for players who donated for the Menacing Mosasaurus rank, which was $550. It is no longer purchasable.

• The Glimmer Acrocanthosaurus skin is only available for players who donated for the Accredited Acrocanthosaurus rank, which was $120. It is no longer purchasable.

• The Glimmer Mosasaurus skin is only available for players who donated for the Menacing Mosasaurus rank, which was $550. It is no longer purchasable.

• The Glimmer Tyrannosaurus rex skin is only available for players who donated for the Terrifying Tyrannosaurus rank, which was $120. It is 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.

The Firefly Shimmer Ichthyovenator skin was only available as an event prize for the participants of the Ichthyovenator Video Contest, which ended on July 25th, 2020.

Upcoming Exclusive Skins

The Glimmer Tropeognathus will be released in the future, but only for the player named TurboTurkey, who began the funding for the creature.

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!
