OVERVIEW

 High quality retexture for Slaughterfish, one of Skyrim's most memorable & terrifying(ly annoying) creatures.

Features 4K HQ textures with much higher visual quality and more vibrant & realistic coloration, optimized in BC7 format for best performance & quality.

Also includes optional downloads for Slaughterfish Scales & Eggs/Egg Clusters, these are available in 4K or 2K.

You can download the All-In-One (either all in 4K or with 2K items) or mix and match the individual downloads! I highly recommend using one of the All-In-One options as they were all designed to synergize together.

Endorsements/Donations are always appreciated <3
