- The custom textures and aura effects give these mounts a unique, apocalyptic look that stands out from vanilla horses.
⚠️ Cons
- This is a re-upload, not the original mod, so you're relying on a third-party port that might have issues or lack support from the original author.
- The mod hasn't been updated since August 2019, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches or other mods.
- You need to complete the Mehrunes Razor quest just to access the horses, which is a bit of a hassle if you want them early in a playthrough.

It's perfect for roleplayers who want to ride into battle as the harbinger of doom. Skip if you prefer balanced gameplay or want mounts that are just cosmetic—these are game-changing.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you've completed the 'Pieces of the Past' quest to get the Mehrunes Razor, or the shrine won't be accessible.
- The horses are invincible, so don't worry about them dying in combat—use them aggressively.
- If you're using a mod manager, install this port like any other mod; it's a simple file drop, so manual install works too.
