Deleted4181807User Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 The Skyrim climate i very similar to the climate during the ice ages. Wouldn't it be cool if we could have other animals from that period, other than Mammoths and Saber Cats I mean.Since these creatures are extinct in our world maybe they could only be found in the Forgotten Vale from Dawnguard? Otherwise they could just be found anywhere else.These are the animals I'd like to see implemented: Woolly RhinoIt could roam the northern forest, those covered in snow, maybe be herded by Giants? Yields Rhino pelt and Rhino horns. (Ridable plz plz plz?)Height: 2m Megatherium Could be found in the more warmer parts of Skyrim. Yields Megatherium Pelt and Megatherium claws and theeth. Length: 6m (nose to tail) Doedicurus Found in the plains. Yields Doedicurus shell and Doedicurus pelt (and tail maybe?)Size: Car size Dodo bird Flightless bird. Yields Dodo meat, beak and feathers. Ancient Whale Skyrim is seriously lacking these. I know they aren't extinct but would be a nice addition the the game. Yields Whale meat and whale fins. Also, in ancient times whales had legs. I'd personally like these rather than the normal whale, as it would fit the extinction theme of this post better, so here's a picture: I am but a humble player with ideas, but the knowledge to bring these creatures to life in-game I do not have. Therefore, I ask all of you great and skilled modders of this forum for help and make these for us players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienSensei Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I agree with the whooly rhino, the whale, Megatherium (only found in the rift and falkereath) and possibly the dodo, but the others were a bit out of place. And I don't agree with the spoiler, however, I do think they shouldn't be covered around whole skyrim. But how could you have forgotten Oxes? They seriously need some other big mammals except for mammoths in Skyrim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted4181807User Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 Which whale do you refer to? The current living whale or the ancestral whale? As for me, I'd just like something in the sea of ghosts to hunt.According to my sources (wikipedia:P) the doedicurus inhabitated grasslands and woodlands, so Whiterun and Falkreath are perfect for them. In what way do you find them out of place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightinglae850 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I found a web site that has 3d models of animals including the whale dodo and rhino etc made by 3ds max. Some models have been used for mods before. The site is free but also has ripped content from games so i dont think i can link it. Someone would just have to import them to skyrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtMurder Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I agree with the whale! The other animals sound cool too, I think SkyMoMO already adds the wooly rhino though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StayFrosty05 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) This is very much like what I have in mind myself....one day in the far distant future it is something I am intent on creating, have been thinking about it for some time. But unfortunately I am only currently taking my first baby steps into the world of Modding...finally have myself a teacher.... :happy: I have in mind a realistic animal behavior Mod, whilst swapping out Skyrim's wild fauna with their Ice Age counterparts and extra's for those not represented....I hadn't thought about the Megatherium, would you mind if I pinched your idea and add it to my list?

Deleted4181807User Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 Sure whatever, I'm just spitting out ideas here and then eagerly hope that someone might find it interesting and create them. If you are making a mod like this my only demand is to be alerted when released! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarus31 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) These are wonderful ideas, the idea of Ground sloths and Glyptodonts in skyrim sound especially intrigueing. (so what if the Doedicurus looks out of place, Morrowind has flying jellyfish, afterall it is a fantasy game) Plus, having stranger animals like Ground sloths and Glyptodonts makes Skyrim more strange and mysterious (Quite frankly this is what skyrim has been lacking for me) But these are wonderful ideas indeed.

Deleted4181807User Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 I actually found this model of a Rhino, so appearantly there are others than us that thougth wolly rhinos are a good idea.http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/images/80382Though I think they could be hairer than the picure in the link.
