Its a Mesh and texture replacer for Dogmeat based off of the Nightstalkers from Fallout New Vegas. This is a VISUAL. CHANGE. ONLY.

Compatibility

Create different variants and add spawn locations, basically re-create my Nightstrikers mod using this mesh for those who preferred the more snake-like Nightstalkers.
