📋 About This Mod
If you liked, please remember to endorse. Thank you!
I offer to all Beast Races Target and Self Animations in Almalexia's way.
For a long time Almalexia's Spell Animations were made available for players thanks to thugqwerty and later through Animation Compilation efforts.
But they were exclusive for human races, until now.
On May 30 2018, akortunov, from OpenMW developers, added support for per-group animation replacers on OpenMW. (Many thanks!!!!)
I went ahead, learned a bit of old Blender and finally came with this Mod.
An old wish turned into reality!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 467 endorsements and over 17k downloads.
- Fills a niche gap by giving Beast races unique animations.
- OpenMW exclusive means no conflicts with Morrowind Code Patch or MCP-dependent mods.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018 — may not be compatible with newer OpenMW versions.
- Only affects Target and Self animations, not other animation sets.
- Requires OpenMW; won't work for players using the original Morrowind engine.
For OpenMW players who want to add some flair to their Beast characters. If you're tired of the default animations and want something different for your Argonian or Khajiit, this is a quick install. Skip if you're on the original Morrowind engine or want more comprehensive animation overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you're running OpenMW, not the original Morrowind executable, or this mod won't work.
- Place the mod's files directly into your OpenMW data directory or use a mod manager like MO2 with OpenMW support.
- Since it's an animation replacer, it's safe to install mid-playthrough, but test on a save to confirm no issues.
