📋 About This Mod
Just doing stuff. After Gale, I wanted a short version of Astarion but I also wanted B1 and then I thought, well what if she's Latina. And then a B2 Halfling to go with the new LOTR heads for Halflings. And then as a bonus B2 Gnome, cause I think that's some kind of joke about him and Gnomes or something, idk but its there to enjoy. Also includes the back scar for each version. Thank you jerinski and Kaz for all the help!!
No vamp teeth, I don't know how to do that.
Cut scenes were a little off sometimes and he must have some camera angles that don't change but its kinda fun/funny too; but then some scenes are totally fine. I only tested up to meeting at the crash site.

Adds four short-statured versions of Astarion for Baldur's Gate 3, including two B1 Halfling variants, a B2 Halfling, and a B2 Gnome. A niche cosmetic mod for players who want a shorter vampire spawn. With 21 endorsements and 795 downloads, it's a small but active community favorite.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny but dedicated following (21 endorsements) — if you're into short Astarion, this is your niche.
- Four distinct variants give you options to pick your favorite halfling or gnome look.
- Recently updated (Sept 2024), so it's likely compatible with current patches.
⚠️ Cons
- Very low endorsement count (21) — this is an ultra-niche mod, not a community staple.
- Only covers Astarion — if you want other origin characters as halflings/gnomes, look elsewhere.
For BG3 players who want a shorter, more compact Astarion for roleplay or comedic effect. If you're a fan of halfling or gnome aesthetics and want to see the vampire spawn with a height change, this is for you. Skip if you prefer Astarion's original look or want broader character customization.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is a cosmetic replacer, make sure to place the mod files in your Mods folder and enable them in the in-game mod manager.
- If you're using other Astarion appearance mods, load order matters — put this one after to ensure the shorty version takes priority.
- Check the mod's page for any required dependencies like the Baldur's Gate 3 Mod Fixer, though none are listed here.
