What has been done
- []The main body was taken from the Skyrim "wolf.nif" and only extra parts were added. These parts were carefully weighted. The rest body left as is and should work perfectly with the Skyrim game []Normals were completely reviewed on the whole body. In case if you wish to edit source, please be careful with that stuff - that seems very easy to screw everything []"Fur" part is copied as is. Ignore this in the 3DS Max file []A draft texture for the main body looks good already ...
- []Translation. If you are a native speaker of a language different from English, and willing to help with translation - please let me know. []If you are native English speaker, your contribution with spelling check will be greatly appreciated. []Texturing is not my area of expertise. Should you a skillful artist and willing to help, please download the sources and make your version.
- Particle system in the Skyrim has lack of documentation. It is required to finish the draft work about this, so it would look like in the Okami game.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,455 endorsements—clearly a lot of players dig it.

- Unique mythological theme—you don't see a sun goddess companion every day.
⚠️ Cons
