[]For some reason, the models do not seem to function properly in the new OpenMW 0. 49 - the urnlings spawn into the world already in their uncovered form. For the time being I do not recommend using this mod for OpenMW.

- Two new files for Vurt's Morrowind Visual Resurgence are available, one for the higher resolution 0. 96 release, and the medium resolution 0. 96a release (check which version you're using for consistency).

Delete these if unwanted/unneeded.------By Svergy, with contributions from Greatness7 and Melchior Dahrk---
Mod Info:
A new, urn-mimicing undead creature may now be found in the ancestral tombs of Morrowind.
The creature is added to tomb leveled lists, so you will want to use your method of choice (tes3merge, Wyre Mash etc.) to merge this mod's lists with your own.
When first encountered, it will be in its urn form, but draw close enough and it will burst out of its disguise and attempt to kill you. They will also drop a new animated ingredient called "Cursed Ash", combining some properties of ectoplasm and bonemeal.
There are different versions available depending on your chosen texture set (MET, IT, Vanilla Morrowind and Tyddy's AoV urns.) Please choose carefully.
There are new sound effects included courtesy of Zapsplat.com's free library. More credits for those below. The creature has particle effects, and a pulsing, glowing eye too (visible in-game).
There are five tiers of urnling that will appear as you level up, within the original Morrowind tomb levelled list level brackets. They have an on-touch health absorb spell that becomes more potent with your level. Lower level urnlings can cast Grave Curse: Speed, and higher levels cast Dread Curse: Speed.
A disadvantage of leveled list placement is that the creature may be out in the open, not doing a gre
