[]Durnehviir now has a unique breath attack which causes damage overtime and comes in both blue (a color inspired by the undead dragon in Game of Thrones) and purple.
[]Durnehviir's stats are now akin to a legendary dragon. He is not overpowered, but he won't just die in one or two hits!
[]Durnehviir's summon spell has been added to the Durnehviir you fight in Soul Cairn and has been changed for both the summoned Durnehviir and the one that is fought. The spell will summor 2 sword-wielding skeletons and 1 archer, giving the effect of summoning and undead army.

[]Planned upgrade which will allow the player to ride Durnehviir if this mod is received well
[]Optional upgrade to ALL DRAGONS: tail stomp ability will now knock NPC's down
[]Ultimately, this mod will make the combat with Durnehviir more difficult and dynamic. He will also be a powerful ally.
