Creatures Tweaks

Collection of some customizations of my favorite creatures in DAO. The idea is to add simple parts or accessories to heads or bodies, to complete their design.

If you have suggestions for some simple modifications or addons for other creatures or NPCs (but lore-friendly) let me know in the post section. I am interested to implement them if I can.

At present, here my modifications:

1) Lady of the Forest (Horned) v1. 1

I love the Lady. I decided to add some horns to the head, to mark even more her mix of human and tree forms.

I got inspired by the beautiful work of luch.pok. I took the horns from their monster girl and simplify them to fit the low-poly models used in DAO. I decided to give a bark texture to the horns, which fits well with her body. This custom head should be compatible with all the retexturing mods found on Nexus. In v1. 1 I remapped the horns textures to reduce size by 2x with no loss in resolution.

2) Desire Demon (Piercing) v1. 0

Another of my favorite creature. I decided to simply add some gold piercings and earrings to the head, to match with the beautiful piercing design of the chest. Moreover, I add an amethyst crystal between the horns matching the violet aura from her head. I also attached a belly piercing. In LOD2 and LOD3 I left only the crystal. Also in this case, you can use any textures you like for head and body from other mods on Nexus.

In Optional Files, I added v1. 1 of the Desire Demon with an additional arm bracelet.

In the screenshots, I used CATACHR1SM textures, more precisely the 2k versions I made in YAHD.

3) Duncan (eye patch) v1. 0

The hero of the battle at Ostagar, and another one of my favorite characters in the game. I added an eye patch to emphasize that he is a veteran in battle. LOD2 and LOD3 included. I like this badass style, remembering me Snake Plissken in Escape from New York. Extract the files to your override folder. Beware of incompatibility with any mod that change Duncan's hair.

In the screenshot of Duncan, I also used Duncan's armor Legacy inspired retexture.

My other DAO mods:

YAHD - Yet Another HD Mod (and Fixes). A project for HD upscaling of creatures' textures at 1k/2k for balance in quality and performance.

Amor of the Black Fox (Hsli compatible). A skimpy version of Nezr
