📋 About This Mod
"The Blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) is a marine mammal belonging to the baleen whale parvorder, Mysticeti. At up to 98 ft in length and with a maximum recorded weight of 173 short tons (346,000 lbs), it is the largest mammal known to have ever existed."
"Long and slender, the blue whale's body can be various shades of bluish-gray dorsally and somewhat lighter underneath. As with other baleen whales, its diet consists almost exclusively of small crustaceans known as krill."
Blue Whales were abundant in nearly all the oceans on Nirn until the beginning of the third Era. They were hunted almost to extinction, leaving them rare to find, especially in Skyrim where fishing is the norm. You can still find them in the northern coasts of Skyrim as well as in the seas that surround Solstheim.
The Whales don't normally attack unless it gets attack first.
They have custom sound and loot. Due to games limitations, I can't change
the bounding box to accommodate a massive creature such as a Blue
Whale. I changed the position of the creatures skeleton to have the head
part of the Whale to be inside of the bounding box so you'll have to
hit its head to cause any damage. You'll be facing the front most of the
time anyways, it would be silly to go through the head of a whale like
its nothing when you're trying to fight it.
Not required, but I highly recommend Character Behaviours Enhanced so you can fight the
whales underwater. And also use a clear water mod so you can see more
than just murky water. They also hit like a truck, so come prepared when
fighting these in water....or just use arrows.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community support with 384 endorsements and nearly 39k downloads.
- Brings a unique creature type to Skyrim SE that's not in vanilla.
- Simple port from a known author, so it's likely stable for SE.
⚠️ Cons
- No updates since March 2021, so it might be abandoned.
- Potential compatibility issues with mods that alter water or creature spawns.
- Limited to just blue whales, so it's a niche addition.
For Skyrim players who want to add more wildlife to the seas and enjoy creature mods. If you're looking for a new mount or combat creature, this might not be for you—it's purely about adding whales to the environment.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a creature mod, make sure to place it in your load order after any mods that alter leveled lists or spawns.
- If you're using a mod manager, you can preview the file structure to see where the whales are added.
- Check if the mod requires the original Skyrim version or if it's standalone—this port is for SE, so it should work with the SE version of the game.
