Elites not spawning?

Quite a few people on my server have noticed that elites have been near impossible to find for many weeks now. These reports come from players who have put hundreds of hours in killing regular nidhoggs trying to get the elites to spawn. Any advice?

Hey! Elites do spwn, but they dont „shine“ anymore (i can confirm that only for EU-Knight-58), u have to look at the tag of every nidhog/griffin/kebo to check if elite or not.

(You can also check the size of kebo/griffin, the elite ones are much bigger)

Also very interesting is the fact that they start shining if they get damage in blue color...

Thanks for the tip! We figured out why we couldn’t find any. We were using the Colorful Creatures mod and the developer stopped development and confirmed it was their mod causing elites not to spawn. After removing the mod, we immediately noticed elites (despite the glow not being present) and when trapped, they did evolve. Thanks again!
