📋 About This Mod

My take on Meleys the Red Queen from House of the Dragon.

Such a beautiful dragon from the series!

- This is a replacer for Odahviing dragon mesh

- With its own textures

- Overwrite the mesh inside GoT Dragons-Ally file.

- Opt. file - GoT Dragons - Skeleton edit. This affects all dragons, vanilla ones (those not replaced) included.

- head - 80% size - my own preference, improves the proportions a bit while still in vanilla body size

- Wings - same size as the GoT skeleton, reworked how the wings look

- Tail - slightly larger, longer

- Opt. file - Skeleton - same as above but with 100% head size

UPDATE:

- Updated the skeleton to have the original mod's wing size, for real (apparently I've compared it to another skeleton. My bad)

- Slight mesh improvement (neck spikes/ horns). Improved bone weight so that it follows the neck better

2. 0

- Reworked mesh. Did my best to get it even closer to the series

- Face edits (see media section for comparison)

- Reworked textures - Some visual improvements, SA fix ready for conversion

Misc. file

- Meleys as Silah replacer

- As usual, you'll need the textures files (for the rest of the textures - normals, etc.)

- either from GoT Dragons (A Game of Thrones)

- or from XilaMonstrr's GoT Dragons 16K-8K - Cleaned and Upscaled Textures (Game of Thrones)
