I'm trying to replace all creatures will custom dinosaurs, but they seem to be spawning in random biomes without rhyme or reason.

Latest example: I just carefully chose a 2x2 joyous wilds map with only one biome, and so far it's spawned two creature groups.

The first:
   [BIOME:ANY_FOREST]
   [BIOME:ANY_WETLAND]
   [BIOME:NOT_FREEZING]
The second:
   [BIOME:MOUNTAIN]
   [BIOME:ANY_DESERT]
   [BIOME:NOT_FREEZING]

     How is is possible that these creatures could be on the same map?

Edit:

I just had a creature with
        [BIOME:ANY_GRASSLAND]
   [BIOME:ANY_SHRUBLAND]
   [BIOME:NOT_FREEZING]
show up on a 100% forest map! No clue what's going on with these biome tags.

Despite their names, the "NOT" biome groups don't negate other biomes -- rather they add every single not-freezing (or whatever) biome to the creature's biome list.  The game just goes through the biome list and says "Is this biome permitted by at least one of the biome tags?  If so, the creature can spawn there!"  NOT_FREEZING means your creatures are in every single NOT_FREEZING biome.

Thanks! That clears up much.
