📋 About This Mod
The Imperial Legion guards stationed at the Gateway to the Shivering Isles were lax in their duties one evening and did not notice the lone Baliwog that came through the portal. A pregnant female, she quietly slipped into the dark waters of Niben Bay unseen. Along the shore she found a secluded spot and made her nest, laying half dozen eggs. Within a month the chirping of the hatchlings could be hear as they began to emerge from their eggs. The little Baliwogs thrived in their new home and quickly grew in adulthood. Prolific breeders, new nests began appearing along the shores of Niben Bay and their numbers in Cyrodiil quickly swelled. Now Baliwogs are a common sight along the Niben Bay, a bane to unwary travelers and slaughterfish alike. Niben Bay fishermen call them Wogs and curse the day that the Legion soldiers failed to stop that first Baliwog from slipping into the waters of Cyrodiil. Wogs! makes it so that Baliwogs are now found along the Niben Bay shoreline. In addition, five new species of Wogs (the models of which are all based on the original Baliwog model) are added to the game: the Viper Wog, the Shivering Isles Dragon, the Mountain Drake, the Three-Horned Wog and the Dobhar-Chu. I have created new leveled creature lists for the Wogs. The only standard creature lists I have altered are the SELL1Baliwog lists, and then only to add in the Viper Wogs. There should be little or no conflicts with other mods. The other creatures and items this mod adds also have been given unique lists. Players will encounter different types of Baliwogs and Viper Wogs representing the different phases of their life cycle: hatching, pup, adult, matron and bull. Wog hatchlings are non-aggressive, but they are rarely alone. Nearby will be a very protective Wog matron that will attack anything coming close to her young. Pups are wary, but they can and will defend themselves. Adults always aggressively defend their territory, but will yield to a determined foe. Bull Wogs, however, will fight to the death. Viper Wogs are different from their Baliwog cousins in that they are capable of poisoning the Player. The venom of a Viper Wog is potent poison that will quickly disable and then kill the Player if not cured. The Viper Wogs are distinctively colored, warning all of their poisonous nature. Viper Wogs do not become poisonous until they reach the pup stage. Viper Wogs are also found along the shores of Niben Bay. Note: Viper Wogs cast a real poison spell (touch) at the player during combat and it can be cured with potions and/or cure poison spells. The stock baliwog model wasn’t given its own casting animations and the needed animations were ‘borrowed’ from other models. Thus when they cast the spell the animations are far from perfect. Note 2: The poison spell category in the game is seriously gimped, which is probably why Bethesda didn’t use any in the vanilla game. The player can cast poison spells, but NPCs and
