📋 About This Mod
ANGLERFISH
This mod aims to fix that by adding Anglerfish to shipwrecks and select underwater points of interest in both Skyrim and Solstheim.
These Anglerfish are much larger than the baby versions of the creatures added by the Fishing creation in AE, are actual enemies that are dangerous to the player, and are a source of a few new, unique alchemy ingredients. The orbs dangling in front of them glow and have a shifting, waterflow pattern if you manage to get close enough to get a good view of them, which adds a very atmospheric and creepy effect to seeing them lurking in the wreckage of sunken ships waiting for prey.
There are also two unique Anglerfish that can be found, including Big Caesar, a gigantic world boss encounter who lurks in the depths of Lake Honrich (Anglerfish in general are saltwater fish, Big Caesar is unique and has managed to adapt to a freshwater environment) and Chow, a juvenile, friendly Anglerfish that has been caught and now resides inside the Riften Fishery.
Optional Anglerfish Addon for the Dead Man's Dread CC included with Skyrim Anniversary Edition available in Optional Files!
COMPATIBILITY & REQUIREMENTS
The Anglerfish will utilize whatever Lurker textures are present in your game including modded textures, allowing for very high quality appearance with no added file size! In my screenshots I am using Rustic Daedra
No requirements, .esl-flagged and will not take up a slot in your load order. Should be compatible with everything.
Adds glowing anglerfish to Skyrim's underwater areas and shipwrecks, acting as ambush predators to bring danger and excitement to otherwise boring underwater exploration. A creature mod for players seeking more immersive and threatening underwater encounters.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 241 endorsements and over 91k downloads

⚠️ Cons

For Skyrim players who want to make underwater exploration actually dangerous and interesting. If you're tired of swimming through empty oceans and shipwrecks, this adds a real threat. Skip if you rarely go underwater or prefer purely cosmetic creature mods.
