(Digitigrade ver)

- When he equip some helms, it does not appear correctly.

- When he equip some gauntlets, it does not appear correctly.

- When he equip mod equipments which not supported for beast races, it does not appear correctly.

It is occurred by setting Argonian Race at Armor Race of his race, but can't keep compatible with Argonian Raptor without that.

Therefore, I regard It as specifications. If you mind it, please use Plantigrade ver.

- His horn is protrude outwards from helm.

It's in the specifications. I have no plan fixing it.
