When choosing a dinosaur, players should have two spawning options:

1- Hatch from an egg laid by another player.

2- Spawn randomly as an adolescent of the selected species.

I'm not sure if the adolescent spawn option is already planned, but I think it would be a great addition. Starting at the adolescent stage would introduce a completely different gameplay experience. Instead of immediately being a fully capable adult, players would have to survive a vulnerable stage where they're no longer protected like hatchlings, but still not strong enough to challenge adults.

It would also make the world feel more alive by creating more age diversity instead of having almost everyone spawn as fully grown adults. For players who simply want to jump into gameplay without waiting to hatch from an egg, it provides a balanced middle ground that still preserves progression and survival.
