📋 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

Dwarven Mechanical Dragons SE adds mechanical dragon enemies and conjurable variants to Skyrim Special Edition, ported from the original mod with meshes repathed to vanilla textures for compatibility with Dwemer retextures. With 91 endorsements and 14,767 downloads, it's a niche creature mod for Dwemer-themed playthroughs.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid download count (14,767) shows real interest in Dwemer content
- Repathing to vanilla textures means your existing Dwemer retextures won't break
- Adds both enemies and conjurable versions, giving you combat and utility options
⚠️ Cons
- Only 91 endorsements compared to downloads, so it's not a community favorite
- Last updated in April 2022, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter Dwemer creatures or conjuration spells
For Skyrim players who love Dwemer lore and want mechanical dragon enemies to fight or summon. If you're running a Dwemer-themed playthrough with retextures, this fits right in. Skip if you're not into creature mods or prefer more polished, widely endorsed content.
💡 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
