Udefrykte. Uderfrykte. Udyrfrykte. (Bloodmoon Creature Restoration Project)

His ancient name was the Udyrfrykte, though the settlers knew him only as death.

The Udyrfrykte came to the newly completed mead hall and wreaked vengeance upon those who had shattered the peace of his long, cold sleep. He killed without warning, without mercy, reducing the Thirsk Nords to half their number.

-Thirsk, a History

The monster dwelling within the Dawnstar Sanctuary has a long and terrible family history. Its brother slaughtered half the residents of Thirsk Mead Hall before being magically sealed in an icy cavern. A century passed and the entrance thawed. The beast attacked again, leaving only one survivor (TES3: Bloodmoon DLC). Years later, that survivor would attempt to hunt down the monster's mother, only to be devoured alongside her husband (TES4).

Now, another 200 years have passed. The Dark Brotherhood has unsealed the Dawnstar Sanctuary to discover another monstrosity that has burrowed its way inside.

But wait...it's just a lopsided, pinkish-brown troll? What happened to the baboon-like face? The four tusks? The thick black coat? The glowing green eyes and skin? What happened to the many resistances described in in-game books? And you no longer get any unique loot from it?

Disappointing.

This mod restores Udefrykte to the glory of its predecessors in TES3 and TES4:

Unique Model

Udefrykte is still recognizable as a troll, but now it's also visually unique and consistent with its brother in Bloodmoon.

• []Longer snout similar to a baboon

  []Four tusks

  []Glowing green eyes and skin

  []Black fur

  []4 fingers and toes, elongated forward-pointing feet

  Features in the optional plugin:

  Formidable Foe

  Udefrykte now resists most forms of damage, as in previous games (and explicitly stated in 2 different in-game books), and balanced for TES5.

  • []Resistant to weapons; susceptible to Silver weapon damage

    []Resistant or immune to most magical damage; susceptible to fire

    Lootable Trophy

    In TES3 you were asked to retrieve the beast's heart as proof of its death. The heart is then displayed in Thirsk Mead Hall as evidence of your valor, a tradition historically honored among the Thirsk. Now that tradition lives on: After completing either Retaking Thirsk or The Chief of Thirsk Hall, you can display Udefrykte's heart in Thirsk once again. (Or you can keep it, Skyrim's a free country.)

    Does this make Udy stronger? It gives extra resistances to be consistent with the older games, which will make the battle more difficult
