📋 About This Mod

SE Port of the original mod by Grohiik

I have converted to form 44, and edited all meshes to use vanilla texture paths.

I'm also uploading:

1. an esl-flagged option (won't work with patches)

2. the original meshes and textures (optimized) if you don't want these dragons retextured

3. my edited meshes only, so you can use them with the Guardians of Kagrenzel Edition by egocarib

Xbox Version Available Here

Original Description:

This Mod Adds a New enemy Race Called "Mechanical Dragon". you can also conjure Mechanical Dragons! It Uses a New Leveled List and is Compatible with any other Mods, And i made it Lore friendly as possible as i could. The Mechanical Dragons also drop a Custom Misc item (and some dwarven items).

Lore: Another Type of Dwarven Automaton in the shape of a dragon but stronger, better. Secretly Created by the Dwemer before they broke their alliance with the chimer, Inspired on the real Dragons. These Mechanical Dragons where Hidden, but the Dragon Break awaken them. Now they guard the Dwarven ruins from any intruders.

Mechanical Dragons appear Near Almost Every Dwarven Ruin, They all Respawn. They can be conjured by using a "Dragon Automaton Cube" (works like a scroll) which can be get by smelting some Dwarven materials and a special material that you can find on Mechanical Dragons (you need the Dwarven Smith Perk to create the cubes!). there is a dead one outside of Irkngthand...

They are very powerful is many ways but their health is about the same of a normal dragon and they use a "Steam Breath Shout" and a fireball shout.

The Mecha Dragons Leveled List Works Like This:

Low Level Character - Dwarven Mechanical Dragon Lvl 1

Medium Level Character - Dwarven Mechanical Dragon Lvl 25

⚠️ Cons

  • Only 91 endorsements compared to downloads, so it's not a community favorite

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's an SE port, make sure you're on Skyrim Special Edition, not Oldrim
  • If you use a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues
  • Test conjuring the dragon in a safe area first to see how it behaves with your other mods
