📋 About This Mod
Swaps the hippogryph model for a Hebridean dragon
Replaces all the hippogryph animations, the mounted position still has some issues and so do some of the animations, there is also a few placeholder ones while I figure out what to do with them, there is also some slight animation delay in changing of speed due to the length of the dragon animations used
1. 1 fixed textures and some crashes and added offspring
1. 2 Updated the player riding position, fixed a potential issue with the vivarium
1. 3 Some bug fixes, failed in teaching dragons to swim, they now wont enter the water by choice and added 3 optional models
1. 4 fix for the sound that I broke switching to the modular system in 1. 3
1. 5 Some small animation changes, also ajusted the Hungarian Horntail, should improve visual clarity mainly in the face area
1. 6 Inital release of Thestral switch
1. 7 Dragon swimming lessons finally paid off, I'm not entirely sure you would call this swimming however, thestrals now land with a little more grace
1. 8 Fought update boss and won
Both the Hippogryff and Thestral are stand-alone, you can choose to install only 1 of them or both with any optional combination.
Unzip into your game directory to install.
