Styx is a shadowy skeletal wolf puppy! Adopt her and watch her grow from a little wimpy puppy to a big, brave wolf!

She is a custom minion that is not affected by the vanilla minion framework.

I stumbled across the Spectral Warhounds web, I didn't even know what it was,

And immediately thought how cool it would be to have an undead/ghost dog follower!

But why make a dog when you can make a wolf! ;)

You know what would be cute? ! A puppy!

'Cause the undead/ghost thing is supposed to be cute...right?

feature!

Includes a real puppy net! This isn't just a shrunken adult wolf. She actually looks like a puppy!

To grow gradually, use the weight slider system! Not just 'poof' you're an adult now. But instead, it's a natural (and lovely) transition ~

Pause or restart her growth at any time. Options can be obtained by chatting with Styx, so they don't clog the main conversation menu.

Custom behavior! The dog barks so much that I want to howl. So Styx is mostly a dog animation, with idle barking instead of howling!

with the player's level. So she's always helpful! Apart from...

Confidence and carrying weight commensurate with her maturity. She starts weak and only has a carrying capacity of 50.

Your boot size, what did you expect?

The stealth will not be discovered and the trap will not be set off! Because followers doing this just... suck.

necessary. Because killing your companions hurts. Especially when they are puppies. :(

Turn off the vanilla minion system. She won't take Meeko's place! <3

"Help! I installed the mod but Styx doesn't have any interaction!"

I believe this is an engine issue, the launch enable task (where the dialog comes from) doesn't initialize properly on first load.

It should be fixed using the included .seq file, but if it still happens, try saving and reloading. Reportedly, reinstalling also works.

If this happens to you, please let me know! I've only seen one case so far and I'm curious if this was just a one-time fluke...

"Help! Styx just ran away without me!"

As a puppy, she was wimpy. She will run away from the fight even if you don't know you are still in it.

She will come back when it is safe and she will grow up soon.

Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
