Arsinoitherium

Added Arsinoitherium to Skyrim.

Arsinoitherium is a large two-horned ancient rhinoceros-like creature that has existed since the dawn of time. Distant relatives of mammoths and hawks. They stay warm with a thick layer of fat and sit lower than their size to keep themselves warm. They also have other body mechanisms to keep themselves warm in much the same way that chilblain spiders keep themselves cold-resistant.

Two populations of arsenic can be found in Skyrim, one in Hjaalmarch and the other in the geyser fields of Eastmarch. There was another population at Elswell, but how these people crossed Providence still puzzles scholars to this day. Arsinoitherium lives a solitary life and protects its territory, inflicting fatal damage on these three-ton beasts if they get in their way.

Last but not least, they also use custom sounds and loot. enjoy your meal!

PS Yes, I know they are not adapted to live in cold environments because they live in warmer climates, but that doesn't mean I won't try to provide a killer explanation for them. I need these animals to make a Hircine mod idea inspired by Ark Survival Evolved. But I don't want to make these mobs exclusive to the mod, as that would be annoying for the mobs having to wait for completion. In the unlikely event that it never gets finished, I'll still provide you with these individual creature mods.

Many thanks to RoboBirdie for the meshes and textures, and to Rexy Montero for the sounds.

Arsinoitherium are large two-horned ancient rhinoceros-like creatures that have existed since the dawn era. Long distant cousins of Mammoths and Horkers. They stay warm through their thick layer of fat and having a relatively low surface area compared to its volume to keep itself warm. They also have other body mechanisms to keep itself warm in nearly the same way frostbite spiders do to keep themselves from succumbing to the cold.

Two populations of Arsinoitherium can be found in Skyrim, one group in Hjaalmarch and the other in the geyser fields of Eastmarch. Theres also another population that resides in Elsweyr, but how these populations have cross providence's still puzzle scholars to this day. Arsinoitherium live solitary lives and are protective of their territory, a charge from these three ton beasts can be fatal if one stands in their way.

Last but not least, they also use custom sounds and loot. Enjoy!

P.S. Yes I know they don't fit in the cold environment as they lived in warmer climates in real life, that doesnt mean I won't try to create lore explanations for them though. I need these creatures made for a Hircine mod idea that's inspired by Ark Survival Evolved. However I don't want to make the creatures be exclusive to the mod as that would suck for those having to wait for that to be finished. In case it never gets done, I'll still have these individual creature mods for you guys to enjoy.

Big thanks to RoboBirdie for the meshes and textures, and also big thanks to Rexy Montero for the sounds.
