New Creature Animation - Gargoyle

Added new animations for Gargoyles, bringing fresh life to this creature.

Personally, I’ve always been fond of the vanilla gargoyle animations; so while creating these additions, I made sure to stay true to the original style.

• []New Claw Attack Variants: Added more variety to the gargoyle's melee attacks.[/]

  []Aerial Ambush Attacks: Gargoyles can now launch unexpected attacks from the air, finally giving their wings a real purpose beyond just decoration.[/]

  []Gliding Animations: Added short gliding sequences.[/]

  []New Ability – Stone Form: Gargoyles now revert to a stone statue state when taking excessive damage.[/]

  With the latest powerful OAR, the gargoyle's attack behavior has been overhauled. Aimless pacing between attacks has been reduced, and if a gargoyle is far from its target, it will now charge in without hesitation.

  💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have Skyrim's animation framework (like FNIS or Nemesis) installed and run it after adding this mod to avoid T-pose issues.
  • If you use other creature animation mods, load this one after them to ensure its animations take priority.
  • Test in a dungeon with Gargoyles (like Dimhollow Crypt) to see the new animations in action.
