📋 About This Mod

This large birds of prey can be set as your companion.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Questions/Answers:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Where can I find the bird?

You can find the birds in Solstheim outside of Tel Mithryn across from Red Mountain Volcanoe.

What are the mod dependencies or conflicts?

The only mod dependencies are base game and DLC. Any mod that adjusts vanilla dragon sounds or animations will conflict with this mod.

What voices do the characters have?

Bird screech.

Will they follow?

- Phoenix birds are not like followers in their behavior and are considered companions.  This bird will accompany you of their own accord. You have to catch them  and get a feather from them and then craft an amulet to have them follow.

- Allow some time for your phoenix bird companion to show up once you put on the amulet.  They will only travel to you if you are outside a certain range.

- They will not join you in every battle and will often follow from a distance hovering near and landing every so often. If you need aerial help in a battle, you have to summon your bird to you.

- You can learn the summon spell by crafting or finding  a spell tome book to summon them to you during combat while they are your companion. You can only summon the same bird for the amulet you are wearing.

WARNING: Only use amulets to make birds follow. Follower mods tested caused the birds to perform some strange type of bird contortions that just looked painful and weird.

Will bird followers affect my stealth?

Nope...sneak away!

Do they level with you?

All bird follower companions are at level 25.

Are they essential or protected?

Bird companions are essential and free to fly without being subject to the dangers of Skyrim and a sad untimely bird death.

Can you make other birds also?

They will be added to my other mods and my Realms of the Dragon mod releasing late 2022/early 2023.

Can you change ???? it conflicts with ???? mod?

Sorry I cannot account for every mod that is out there and will not make changes for a specific mod.

Can I give them a unique name?

So you want to name your bird of prey, Mr. Big Birdy? This mod should work for renaming your follower: Jaxonz Renamer

Can you make the bird land on my shoulder or my arm or something e

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install the ESL version to save plugin slots—it's flagged as ESL so it won't count toward the 255 limit.
  • Make sure your Skyrim is up to date, as the mod was last updated in 2022 and might need patches for newer versions.
  • Check if the phoenix spawns in a specific location—read the mod's posts or comments for player reports on where to find it.
