📋 About This Mod
Also available on Bethesda.net.
Merlin's his name. Lovely little blighter.
— Theodor Gorlash
Meet Merlin: a farm dog with a magical secret! He appears to be a Palemoon Corgi, a working dog known for their fierce loyalty and friendly demeanor. They are favored by farmers throughout High Rock as their stocky build and short stature make them perfect for driving livestock through the province's rocky lowlands!
Travel to the Summoning Circle just north of Morthal to meet your new friend. Merlin is ready to join you on your adventure and protect you with tooth and spell!

Recommended Mods
It is highly recommended to use this mod with Skyrim: Extended Cut - Saints and Seducers alongside the provided integration patch. It changes Merlin's acquisition to be much more interesting and memorable. This is considered this to be the "canon" way you obtain Merlin.
Immersive Interactions is supported out-of-the-box without need of any patches or MCM configurations.
Merlin uses a custom follower framework and should NOT be imported into follower framework mods such as Amazing Follower Tweaks, Extensible Follower Framework, or Nether's Follower Framework.

💡 Beginner Tips
