📋 About This Mod
My attempt at the Game of Thrones Undead Viserion as Durnehviir replacer from the mod GoT Dragons (A Game of Thrones) by KaienHash.
- This is a replacer for the Durnehviir dragon mesh (decaydragon)
- With its own icy and dead textures
- Overwrite the mesh inside GoT Dragons-Ally file.
- You'll need the main mod for the rest of the textures (normals, etc.)
Update:
2. 0
- Reworked face mesh (subtle recessed parts) and overall textures
- added optional lower poly replacer with the update changes
- From the mod Low Poly GoT Dragons by RCKraken
- Visit this page for optimized/ lower poly GoT dragons meshes
- Added glow to the eyes
- Added a blue drip effect for consistency
- Carried over the minor updates
** Just realized the wings and fins translucency was using the default Viserion texture path
- Updated the wings and fins translucency texture path to the intended one (pale blue)
- Slightly improved tattered wings to fix minor visual bugs at wing claws
2. 20
- Added Saliva fluid fx same as in vanilla durnehviir, just not the whole face covered.
- Added 2 other retextures of the mod (Vanilla green, Soul cairn purple) with corresponding fluid and drip fx textures.
An Update file (from 2. 10 to 2. 20) will be included if you want the updated meshes and textures ONLY.
2. 30
- Adjusted neck bone nodes to follow the neck better (vanilla is S-like, GoT ones are straight). This should lessen neck distortion.
> this is already implemented in my other dragon edits as neck distortion becomes clearer in dragons without neck fins.
> this was also implemented in version 2. 0 but was unintentionally reverted when I added the mouth fluid fx.
- textures are Soul Absorb fix ready
- Opt. file - Undead Viserion Frost dragon replacer with paler, lighter textures. Less tattered.
- Made the Soul Cairne Purple standalone. No mesh/ texture updates/changes. Choose between the 3 main files the color scheme you like.
- Opt. files - farskin/lod files for each respective version. USSEP already changes the mesh path. Use if you have farskin using vanilla model.
New Optional Files:
- 5 stages of Durnehviir.
- decaydragon.nif - now a tattered version, gradually leads to main file's Undead Viserion mesh (see images section)
- Requires Durnehviir Resurrected SE and a respective main file version, overwrite.
*moved Farskin files to Miscellaneous
- I've edited the textures from the mod linked below
This mod replaces Durnehviir's appearance with the undead Viserion from Game of Thrones, requiring the GoT Dragons mod. It's a mesh and texture edit for the ally version, offering a thematic dragon reskin for Skyrim players. With 1,552 endorsements and 541,395 downloads, it's a popular cosmetic addition.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (541k) shows massive interest in GoT-themed dragons
- Solid endorsement ratio (1.5k endorsements) indicates community approval
- Simple cosmetic swap—no new mechanics to learn, just visual flair
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the GoT Dragons mod—not standalone, so you need that base mod installed
- Only affects Durnehviir, not other dragons, so limited scope
- Last updated in 2023—might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim version or other dragon mods
For Skyrim players who love Game of Thrones and want to see Viserion as a shout-summoned ally. If you're already using GoT Dragons, this is a must-have to complete the undead dragon look. Skip if you don't use the base mod or prefer vanilla dragon designs.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the GoT Dragons mod installed and its Ally file active before adding this replacer.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid overwriting files manually—this mod edits meshes and textures.
- Check your load order to ensure this mod loads after GoT Dragons so the replacer takes effect.
