📋 About This Mod
Description:
This mod does not replace the appearance of all hagravens. The idea is that some hagravens are still transitioning from their human form. All hagravens added by this mod will retain their original monster sounds.
IF YOU WANT TO KEEP ALL HAGRAVENS MONSTER-LIKE THEN THIS MOD IS NOT FOR YOU.
Requirements:
Features:
-Replaces the looks of Melka/Moira
-Adds new hagravens types at Karthspire Camp, Cradle Stone Tower, and Glenmoril Coven
-Added Hagravens will now attack you with a bound blade, resurrect allies, and use their usual magics in combat
-Added new skills to hagravens
-Added Hagravens will use whatever body meshes/textures you use (I'm using Bijin Skin)
-Added Hagravens wear Forsworn armor as reflected by their association to that faction lorewise
New Skills added:
-Reanimate Corpse
-Bound Sword
Compatibility:
-Will conflict with any mods that replace the appearance of Melka/Moira
