About this Mod
The Christmas dweller is a modification inspired by Gargin's Cave dweller. Beware, this festive character will track and seize you when the chance arises. Exercise caution, as if he draws near, he may swiftly snatch you and make a hasty escape with you tucked into his sack.
I can't take full credit for this mod as it was built off of SiverDx work (https://github.com/SiverDX/cave_dweller). I mostly swapped out the assets and added a few behaviors to the entity.
