Originating with an inquiry on the BioWare NWN custom content forum (link), these creatures are re-textured and modified from some NWN models and a creature included in CEP. Each uses regular NWN animations and includes leaves that drop from underneath every once in a while.
This package contains 8 non-overriding creature models, textures, portraits, and a readme file that contains lines for merging into your own appearance.2da and portraits.2da files.
Included topiary guardians:
Bear
Boar (Dire)
Deer
Horse
Lion
Triceratops
Wolf (Dire)
Woman
Each of the compressed file formats contains the same files, so you can pick your preferred version.
Custom Content Notes:
1. The 2da lines included use the "plant" racial type used in the CEP. If you don't use the CEP, you'll want to change the racial type from 52 (plant) to 10 (construct).
2. If added to the tailmodel.2da, the topiary horse should be rideable, since it's based directly on the generic horse from the NWN files.
Feedback, comments, votes, etc. are welcome. Let me know what your druids (and gardeners) think of having more plant critters around. :)

I love these things as "animal" companions to my Forrestals (which are plants themselves).
My only problem is, I think, my own ignorance... I can not get their portraits working. They simply are not anywhere in the list :-( _________________________ Rolo Kipp Humor is the only viable response to pain

I made my nwn2 version by using a barkskin effect, but I see you've completely retextured. _________________________ Shadow Thief: Crimmor and Path of Evil blog Link

AD is one of the greats of all time, and with entries like this continues to demonstrate the truth of my opening statement. Inovative, topical, and useful work.

These look great. May have to throw a few around my druid grove. _________________________ Dolentoll - The Hidden Islands Link

I might make 20 more accounts just to ge tthis in the HoF quicker _________________________ People react violently to fur rather than leather because it is easier to pick on rich chicks with bad taste than biker gangs.

A shame as always that 10 is as high as we can rate your stuff. _________________________ The Savage Frontier and Surrounds - NWN PW based in the Forgotten Realms: Link
