What this mod does
Mermaids and Mythical Creatures lets you turn into one of four mythical creatures, each with its own abilities and plenty of customization.
The four forms
- Mermaid: you transform when you enter the water and gain underwater breathing, swim speed and night vision. It has a song that lures sea creatures, a trident and NPC mermaids in the oceans.
- Werewolf: changes with the day-night cycle or with potions; its howl heals other wolves and slows enemies.
- Vampire: a blood drain that heals you on melee hits, plus eye and skin colors to choose from.
- Lamia (new in v4): a permanent snake tail, on land and in water.
