Detailed Contents
NPCs with hand-picked skins:
Werewolves: Sinding, Farkas, Aela, Arnbjorn, Majni, Akar, Rakel, Hjordis, Farmer (randomly spawning werewolf)
Werebears: Torkild, Snowclad Ruins Werebears, and the 3 randomly spawning Werebears on Solstheim.
The record changes for these NPCs are as minimal as possible, to maximize compatibility. In some cases the changes are on associated quests, since that is what controls the transformations.
Enemies with randomized skins:
Werewolf, Werewolf Savage, Werewolf Savage (Boss), Werewolf Brute, Werewolf Brute (Boss), Werewolf Beastmaster, Werewolf Beastmaster (Boss), Werewolf Skinwalker, Werewolf Skinwalker (Boss), Werewolf Vargr, Werewolf Vargr (Boss)
Each of these now comes in a male and female variant as well, but you won't notice the difference unless you use a female werewolf body mod (see Compatibility section).
The stats of these enemies are unaltered, only their skins have changed. They will inherit any werewolf stat changes made by other mods. The only vanilla records overwritten for these are the LCharWerewolf and LCharWerewolfBoss leveled lists.
Newly added Werebears:
Each of the above randomized werewolf enemies also has a Werebear counterpart. These are incorporated into the same leveled lists as the werewolves, appearing about 1/3rd of the time. The lore actually says that Werebears are supposed to be the most common Lycanthrope in Skyrim but I didn't want to go that far. The werebears also have randomized skins.
Werebears also come in male and female variants, but there aren't any female werebear mods that I know of so it's really just for posterity.
Werebears have higher health and stamina, stronger power attacks, weaker perks, etc, consistent with vanilla. The exact values were determined by my personal judgment with an attempt at balance, since Dragonborn only added Werebears at level 25.
Werewolf corpse remains:
The werewolf corpses and spiked heads in and around Silver Hand camps have randomized skins also. These will no

- Simple concept, well-executed – just adds variety without messing with other systems.

💡 Beginner Tips
