📋 About This Mod
Heavy Chitin Armor
Whilst usually used to make light armor, chitin plates are occasionally layered to create heavy armor.
You can find this armor in leveled loot lists, it's stronger than dwemer but weaker than ebony.
If I've made a mistake or you have any suggestions please let me know.
This mod was made with resources from the community and as such please feel free to use this armor in your own mods or edit it as you want.
update 1. 01 : added missing first person hands mesh
update 1. 05: improved uvs and rigging, also added new boots ground model
update 1. 2: slightly improved models for the boots and also removed dirty GMSTs (sorry that was sloppy of me)
update 1. 5: new models for boots and greaves (the old ones were basically retextures), also slightly improved helm and chest mesh.
Danke for parts of the chest
Niero for the scarf
Tyermala for pointing out the missing mesh
and special thanks to Leyawynn for helping me with a variety of things and taking the screenshots

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Decent community support with 166 endorsements and over 4,300 downloads.
- Fills a niche for heavy armor fans wanting a Dragonborn-inspired look.
- Simple concept—just a new armor set, no complex mechanics to learn.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021—may not be compatible with the latest game patches.
- Only one armor set, so if you don't like the look, there's nothing else here.
For Skyrim players who want a new heavy armor option inspired by the Dragonborn DLC without overhauling the game. If you're a collector of armor mods or roleplay as a Dragonborn-themed character, this is a quick add. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or a full armor pack.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a standalone armor, you'll likely find it via crafting or console commands—check the mod page for exact location if the author provided it.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install; load order shouldn't matter much for a standalone armor.
- Make sure your game is up to date, but if you're on a newer patch, test the armor in-game to ensure it appears correctly.
