 SAVAGE WOLVES LEGENDARY EDITION!!!

A huge Thank You to the Nexus community for placing "Savage Wolves" among the Hot Mods!

[ [ [ MOD DESCRIPTION] ] ]

If your like me and have been disappointed with the vanilla wolves, then this mod is for you.  This mod replaces the vanilla wolf skeleton with a new custom skeleton meant to give the wolves of Skyrim a more realistic and savage appearance.  After looking through tons of pictures, sculptures and paintings and working within the confines of the vanilla mesh, I enlarged the limbs, neck and skull of the wolf and the result is a more realistic and savage wolf that will strike fear throughout Skyrim and the modding community. This affects all wolves in Skyrim

SEEING IS BELIEVING!!!




Now Includes a version with my new mod Feral Foxes!
