Everything except for the textures in this mod can be used without my permission. Feel free to use anything within the esm. I would love to see a quest, or dungeon mod using the new creatures :) You may convert this mod, improve it, upload it to other site's, do whatever. Just don’t redistribute the texture as they’re not mine. And don’t try to make money off of my work please.

New Creature Details:

Young Excavator:

(All Excavator Variants can do this. and have the ability to flee combat, and burrow back underground.)



Excavator:

Adult Excavators can spawn "Hot-Kake's" (Baby Excavators) to aid in combat.



Hot-Kake:

Hot-Kake's (Baby Excavators) are tiny Excavators that pop out to help Adult Excavators



Small Glowing Excavator:

Small Glowing Excavators will spawn up to 2 Radioactive Hot-Kake's that will run at the player and emit an explosion from there body before burrowing back underground.



Glowing Excavator:

Glowing Excavators will spawn up to 7 Radioactive Hot-Kake's



Radioactive Hot-Kake:

Radioactive Hot-Kake's will run at you and emit radioactive waves from there body when they get close. This is physically exhausting for them to do, so they burrow back underground right after.

Cazador Nest:



Show

-Cazador Nest are small burrows that Cazadores dig, and cover with dirt to stay hidden from the out side world.

-Cazadores will attack anyone who gets to close. firing your weapon while in close proximity to a Nest may also alert the Cazador inside.

-Nest have a chance to spawn vanilla Cazadores along with any of the new Excavator variants.

- They are hand placed around the map, and can be Destroyed, and looted.

- Your sneak skill will play in how close you can get to the nest. And the amount of sound your gun produces also will effect how close you can get to the nest while firing your gun.

- If you see an NPC is standing near a burrow. Try firing your weapon to see what happens >:)

MCM Details:



Show

-MCM will allow you to toggle any of the creatures on and off. You can alternatively disable the unique textures for the Excavators if you want them to use vanilla textures. Under advanced, you can customize the radius of the burrows, and change variables of the function that control how effective your sneak skill is. There is a Debugger if you want to test the outputs for different levels of sneak.
