📋 About This Mod
Ever wonder why Dragons, from which you can make one of the strongest armor available, don't have any defense? This mod fixes that, alongside other creatures, including Dwarven Automatons, Atronachs, Draugr, Skeletons, Falmer, Chaurus, Mudcrabs and Death Hounds. The armor value depends on the creature's level. I didn't add armor to Gargoyles as they already have armor
To make sure if a creature has armor or not, select them with console commands and type "getav damageresist" if it is 0 then they have no armor
If there is any creature I forgot to add armor to, please don't hesitate to notify me.
This mod utilizes SPID, so it should be compatible with anything, including any mods that add new Dragons, Automatons, etc

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid download count (51,814) shows real interest from the community.
- Straightforward concept—no bloat, just armor for creatures.
- Lightweight and likely compatible with most setups (no dependencies listed).
⚠️ Cons
- Only 86 endorsements, so it's not a community favorite despite downloads.
- Last updated in 2022, so it might be outdated for current game versions.
- Potential conflicts with other creature overhauls that alter stats or armor.
For players who want a bit more challenge from wildlife and enjoy tweaking creature difficulty. If you're into combat overhauls or survival realism, this adds a simple layer. Skip if you prefer vanilla creature balance or want more complex armor systems.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if your game version is compatible, since the mod hasn't been updated since 2022.
- If you use other creature mods, load this one after them to ensure armor applies correctly.
