LE Dragon Death Animations On Non-Dragon NPCs

[Araanim]

So I know the Dragon Combat Overhaul uses the Alduin death animation for any dragon, and it works (as far as I know.) Does anyone know if you can use a dragon death animation on a non-dragon NPC?

From what I can tell, it is governed by the Dragon script that also governs a number of things associated with dragons; perching, divebombing NPCs, etc. Has anyone ever tried that with a non-dragon? I know that Karstaag has a similar animation when you kill him; he disintegrates and you absorb his soul. I've also looked at the ash spawn's death effect (which is a magical ability) and that can make any NPC, regardless of shape, disintegrate into an ash pile. So it's feasible that the Dragon effect (where the skin burns away) could be applied to any NPC as well, but I can't seem to isolate that specific animation. I don't necessarily need the soul-absorbing effect, I really just want the burning up effect. (Ideally I'd like to use Alduin's full dramatic death sequence, but one thing at a time.)

Has anyone come up against this? It seems like it should be doable, but I just haven't found the key yet. Please let me know if you can help! Thanks!

Each creature type has its own skeleton assigned and animations are skeleton-specific. I don't think it's possible to apply dragon animations to other creatures or NPCs.

It's not so much the animation of the dragon itself, but the burning away flesh effect that I'm looking for. You're able to apply the ash spawn burning effect to any NPC, I feel like the dragon one should be able to also.
