Skinned Hounds are canine daedra native to the Shivering Isles that resemble eyeless dogs that appear to have had their skin removed, exposing tissue, muscles, tendons and bones. They are usually found in and around ruins located throughout that plane of Oblivion. The Skinned Hound is not a beast to be underestimated, they are extremely fast and agile, and on Nirn they are used by sorcerers to protect their lairs. A stronger variant, Greater Skinned Hound, is slightly larger and more dangerous.
Zombie Dogs are just ordinary dead dogs reanimated by necromancers to create ferocious, mindless guard dogs for their lairs. They have no reason, fear or empathy, and will attack intruders on sight.

A former monster hunter, now a dedicated scholar, he is planned to be released as an NPC in late 2022/early 2023, doing the same job in-game as my descriptions do on Nexus.)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Mihail's creature mods are usually high quality and lore-friendly (588 endorsements).
- Adds two distinct creature types, giving more variety to Skyrim's wildlife and dungeons.
- Popular with over 15,000 downloads, so it's been tested by many players.
⚠️ Cons
- LE version only — Oldrim players need to find the SE port separately.
- May conflict with other mods that alter creature spawns or leveled lists.
For Skyrim players who want more creature variety, especially fans of Mihail's monster mods. If you're on Oldrim and enjoy encountering new, lore-inspired enemies, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're on Special Edition or want gameplay overhauls, not just new creatures.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is the LE version, make sure you're playing Skyrim Legendary Edition or use the Special Edition port if available.
- If you use a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager or Mod Organizer, install via that to keep your load order clean.
- Consider using a bashed patch or leveled list merger to ensure the new creatures appear properly in your game.
