✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid niche following (203 endorsements) — players clearly dig the creature forms
- Adds building pieces too, so you can make a whole gnoll camp, not just look like one
- Four different creature types gives you variety in one mod
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated June 2023 — might be stale if the game's had patches since
- It's purely cosmetic — if you want gameplay changes, this isn't it
For roleplayers and builders who want to play as a gnoll or other beastfolk without messing with gameplay. Also for anyone who likes adding weird creature settlements to their world. Skip if you're after stats or combat perks — this is all about looks.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if your game version is compatible with the June 2023 update — if you're on a newer patch, test in a backup save first.
- Since it's armor-based, you'll need to actually equip the armor in-game to see the transformation — don't expect an instant morph.
- Use the building pieces to create a themed camp or den to match your new form.
