📋 About This Mod
My attempt on Caraxes the Blood Wyrm from House of the Dragon.
- Alternative mesh for the Bloodwyrm dragon of KaienHash's HotD and GoT Dragons Standalone.
- With its own textures (desaturated, darkened)
- Overwrite the file from the mod linked above
- Added also Caraxes as Odahviing replacer
- Opt. file - If using Diverse Dragons Collection SE, replaces the Sanguine dragon.
- Opt. file - Mesh file with original texture path (textures\bloodwyrm), If you prefer the original textures, or want to use those for another variant
Install this mainly for the missing custom fin textures
rename and overwrite the desired dragon mesh to be replaced
- Opt. file - Adds Serpentine dragons replacer with own textures
- Reworked mesh. Did my best to get it closer to the series, just not a long boi yet.
- Face edits (see media section)
- Tail fins part edits
- Reworked textures
- Added optional "no center spikes" version of the mesh as a variation
3. 0
- Reworked mesh (again). Did my best to get it even closer to the series
- Face edits (see media section for comparison)
- Reworked textures - Some visual inconsistencies fix, SA fix ready for conversion
- no center spikes as default mesh
- As usual, you'll need the textures files (for the rest of the textures - normals, etc.)
- either from GoT Dragons (A Game of Thrones) and HotD and GoT Dragons Standalone.
- or from XilaMonstrr's GoT Dragons 16K-8K - Cleaned and Upscaled Textures (Game of Thrones)
and HotD Dragons 8K-16K - Cleaned and Upscaled Textures (Game of Thrones)
* Kynnkaid has ported options from this mod to Xbox (This collection - c&p link from comments tab), also other HotD ports will be ready.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 483 endorsements and over 157k downloads – clearly a lot of people are using this.
- Directly improves the blood wyrm dragon's look, so if you're rocking the standalone dragons mod, this is a must-have.
- Simple mesh and texture edits – no gameplay changes, just pure visual polish.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the blood wyrm dragon – if you want overhauls for other dragons, this isn't it.
- Requires the original HotD and GoT Dragons Standalone mod, so it's useless without that base mod.
- Last updated in March 2023 – might not be compatible with newer game patches or mod versions.
For Skyrim players who already use KaienHash's HotD and GoT Dragons Standalone and want the blood wyrm to look even better. If you're not using that mod, skip this – it's purely cosmetic and dependent on it.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the original HotD and GoT Dragons Standalone mod installed first – this mod is just an edit for it.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install this – it'll handle file overwrites automatically.
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, double-check that the mod is compatible with your game version, since it hasn't been updated since 2023.
