The Pale Hound
With arrows still lodged in its back, they serve as a reminder of its fearsome nature. Lurking in the icy landscape it calls "Home" where the cold has not slowed it down.

About this Mod
"With arrows still lodged in its back, they serve as a reminder of its fearsome nature. Lurking in the icy landscape it calls "Home" where the cold has not slowed it down."
Hiding behind the blizzard and the darkness, this creature will hunt you down the moment you enter its domain. You won't know where it lurks... You won't know where the footsteps come from... But you will feel the starving void in its eyes piercing the back of your neck.
This mod greatly enhances the fearsome Cave Dweller, giving him better animations to make him feel more alive and a better texture to fit this creature's name. Making some changes in the model to create this terrifying entity.
I give huge credit to Gargin, Schpalrbo and Cadentem for making the great Cave Dweller. And to Llamii_Llama for helping me out with the AI!
Have fun!
And remember... There are all sorts of things lurking in the dark.
When updating, remember to delete the "pale_hound-server.toml" file from
your world folder to avoid malfunctions!
The file should be in:
