Martigen's Monster Mod 3.8

The variety in MMM is almost limitless. Each creature and NPC, both original and new, spawns with (in defined ranges) a randomized size; randomized adjustments to stats (such as strength, agility, health, fatigue, magic, willpower, and intelligence) all particular to their class; as well as range-randomized confidence; aggression; and even combat fighting styles. No more clones of creatures or NPCs where each one is identical; with MMM every encounter is different because every creature -- even within the same race -- is a unique individual.

More than this, stat adjustments are broken into two sections -- health, magic, strength, fatigue and confidence are affected by the same value that determines size -- so smaller creatures are generally weaker too, and in turn, less confident. Stats like agility, speed, and aggression are randomized based on and applied against the core stats. For instance, speed is important -- now you will see herds of deer running away at different speeds, or hordes of goblins charging towards you and fighting with you at different speeds. These size, stat, and aggression changes, combined with the fleeing and behavior code, all contribute to create a tremendous sense of life in the creatures of Tamriel.

Additionally, the advanced fleeing code applies not just to player character interactions, but works among other creatures and NPCs as well. You may see a wolf starting a fight with a Bandit, and then running for its life. Or goblins swarming a Troll, then pelting off when the tide turns against them. In fact, while very few mods allow for anything more than NPCs than can flee, MMM adds carefully adapted code to all sorts of creatures and NPC types, specific to their class or nature (so for example; Dremora never flee, nor do Bosses).

Finally, MMM is the first mod to tie a creature's confidence and aggression into faction interactions.  Usually, setting faction ratings creates static behavior (if a creature has a big enough negative reaction to another faction, it will always attack); but with MMM, creatures spawn with a varied range of aggression and confidence--which when combined with the faction ratings, creates a vast diversity of behavior. For example, a Big Cat might not always be hungry, and so might not always chase prey. Or a spawning Ogre that has a faction prejudice against wolves in general may appear ambivalent towards a nearby wolf, while a second spawned Ogre attacks it outright. These changes scale in accordance with a creature's size and stats, with bigger, more confident creatures being more likely to start a fight with factions they just tolerate (as opposed to outright war or friendship). More primal such as Wolves or Trolls or Minotaurs may even attack their own kind. It's a low percentage, but if a highly aggressive Wolf spawns, it'll be h
