Exclusive Skins are unique skins that were/are 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 temporarily through nesting if one or both of their dinosaur’s parents have them (unless the skin is sterile, which means it cannot pass on through nesting). If at least one parent is wearing an exclusive skin, then the offspring has a chance to inherit layers from that skin. The offspring cannot use the skin again if it dies, unless it is revived.


As of currently, there are eleven public Exclusive Skins:

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

Pre-release Donator Exclusive Skins

"Glimmer" skins are aptly named after their ability to glow in the dark. Glimmers are no longer obtainable (you had to donate enough back BEFORE the game was released on Steam in order to actually own the skins), and at this time can only be temporarily acquired through being nested by someone who's using the skin.

  • 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 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 $600. It is no longer purchasable.
  • The Glimmer Tyrannosaurus rex skin is only available for players who donated for the Terrifying Tyrannosaurus rank, which was $1000. 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. This skin is the only sterile glimmer, which means it cannot be obtained through nesting.

Event-exclusive Skins

Video Events

Before the developers discovered a way for players to obtain skins through in-game means, they held video contests in the official Discord server. This is where players could obtain exclusive shimmer skins (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 which ran from May 30th 2019 to June 30th 2019. This makes it the first glowing skin to not be part of a donated rank. Originally, this skin was also named Glimmer, and had a non-glowing variant, though this was scrapped, and it was renamed later to label the difference between event skins, and donator exclusive skins.
  • The Magma Shimmer Saichania skin was only available as the event reward for the participants of the Saichania Video Event which ran from December 31st 2019 to January 31st 2020.
  • The Firefly Shimmer Ichthyovenator skin was only available as the event reward for the participants of the Ichthyovenator Video Event, which ran from June 25th 2020 to July 25th 2020.
  • The Boa Shimmer Oryctodromeus skin was only available as the event reward for the participants of the Oryctodromeus Video Event, which ran from August 23rd 2020 to September 23rd 2020. Although, it has been mentioned that if any players have had to evacuate due to Hurricane Laura, they would need to make a claim in the Beasts of Bermuda discord. These players would be able to receive one additional month to build an entry, and send it in with the claimed Steam ID.
  • The Phoenix Shimmer Tropeognathus skin was only available as an event prize for players who participated and won in the Tropeognathus Video Contest which ran from Feburary 21st 2021 to March 21st 2021.

In-Game Events

Starting in December of 2022, Beasts of Bermuda has begun implementing in-game events to obtain exclusive skins.

The seasonal Winter Parasaurolophus is obtainable, officially, through growing a Para to 1.32 on any server running the Life Cycle gamemode, however, there are many reported cases where players obtain it through growing any creature to the designated growth. At the time of its release, it is only server-side, but in the future it will be linked to the user's Steam account.

Mystery Exclusives

Mystery Exclusives are exclusive skins that the developers do not share how they were obtained. It is also unknown if they are still obtainable.

The only mystery exclusive in the game is the Sacred Megalosaurus. The Sacred Megalosaurus can be described as having markings akin to armor-like plating with a metallic sheen, and is also covered in many glowing runes. Sacred Megalosaurus has many nicknames, and due to the skin mixing update only passing down certain aspects of skins, many players have assumed that "Armored" and "Rune" Megalosaurus are different skins. However, in reality, they're just different pieces of the same Sacred skin.

Upcoming Exclusive Skins

In the future, it has been confirmed that more skin events will be held, but not in the same way as they have been. Now, new exclusive skins will be publicly available through in-game events, such as the latest event for the Winter Parasaurolophus.

Keep your eyes peeled, and be prepared.
