About this mod Machine translation
This mod adds two new Daedric creatures - Hircine's ravenous Wendigos, and Molag Bal's bloodthirsty roar. Includes 24 Wendigo variants and 12 Howler variants.
Molag Bal is a bloodthirsty, vicious servant whose goat-like roar is a favorite summons among vampires. The Wendigo, on the other hand, is a savage elk-like beast that constantly roams Hircine's hunting grounds in search of prey. It is often summoned by the Hagravens, who use their nature-based magic to bind it to their will. Both creatures are rare in Skyrim, which is probably for the best... While the smaller ones can be defeated by a skilled swordsman or mage, both creatures can become quite large and deadly. Few warriors can defeat a wild roaring...or worse, a Goliath Wendigo.

A bloodthirsty, monstrous servant of Molag Bal, the goat-like Howler is a favorite summon among vampires. The Wendigo, on the other hand, is a savage elk-like beast that constantly roams Hircine's Hunting Grounds in search of prey. It is often summoned by Hagravens, who use their nature-based magic to bind it to their will. Both creatures are rare in Skyrim, and that is probably for the best...while the small ones may be bested by a skilled swordsman or mage, both creatures can grow quite large and deadly. Very few warriors are capable of defeating a Bestial Howler...or worse yet, a Goliath Wendigo.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- 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.
