Drow Lizard Rider To protect the dark secrets of their cities, the Drows use rituals and magical creatures. But to defend the surroundings of their citadels and prevent any incursion, they send out lizard riders to oust intruders. [email protected] This Hak include two models, a presentation module and a erf with a scout and a mage versions. Special thanks to Kinarr Greycloak for his 'Goblin Worg Rider'. The autors of Lunar Eclipse Minions Hak. Discreet for GMax and Joco for the NWMax.
Ive read damn near every faerun book and never heard mention of any lizard that had claws, the whole purpose of lizard mounts is their ability to cling to any surface. Lizard riders are known from flanking targets by climbing the ceiling and walls to surround enemy. Their feet resemble gecko pads, actually look like large versions of geckos. Other than that this is great stuff.
These look wonderful. I'd LOVE to see more "Rider" type monsters - if all of them are as nifty as these and Kinarr's riders, I'll use every last one of them.
And "Kudos" is hard to define, but it basically means "Good work".

## Elindara: thanks for your endorsement... I work on a tileset for duegars (ziggourats...) as assyrian civilisation... It's my first tentatives in the 3D world .. so I go quiet...
## Little Baron : those great lizards are the result of hybridation between parts of white or silver dragon (heads , tails and rear paws), direwolf body and skrullbearer's arms (thanks to MainframeTEM). I modified the animations of direwolf, transform the different parts and I combined all in those lizards...
I'm not Anglophone... What is "kudos" ???
These are really nice dude. The mage one has transparency issues though. Also have you any animation experience?
If you have I would modify them so that the warriors actually do most of the attacks.
As a side-note I would have a look at Warhammers Dark Elves. They ride on lizards called Cold Ones. These would make a nice base to work apon. (just a thought)
Where did those great lizards come from? If you made them Longbow, Especially Huge Kudos, and if not Kudos all the same for the rider idea... I'd like to get my hands on the Lizards by themselves, too.

Great Work! Tho I hope you can find the time to do a Dark skinned dark elf rider...also, I have seen sources showing both 4 legged and 2 legged Lizard mounts. I for one would be interested in having a heavy armoured one made as well. Once again, I say great job! Now if I can only convince someone with modeling skills to create some snake head whips! =)

## fatgato: if you really want an other colour, you could extract and modify the tga file with any picture software...
## ShadowM: thanks for the compliment, I used the blue texture on the ribcage to simulate a saddle... If this hak is welcome by the community, I'll create an 3e model (heavy armored, cavalery spear, shell and a saddle like an evil throne...etc)
## Gribo: yes my dear I really appreciate your work, I've ever send you e-mail to suggestions but no reply...

Wow nice job, Are you going to apply the white dragon texture to the ribcage of the warrior to get rid of the blue? Well does not matter to me, I did. Do you minded if I retexture them and take the guys off to make some raptors and Tyranosaurus Rexs?
I dont know if you have dnd books as well, also the drow lizard are quadrpeds... a good model to prob modify would be the Bulette since it actually looks similar to the Drow lizard riders. If you could reskin the drow so they are dark skin would be excellent.

These Elfs are intimately connect to thier steed.. One die and every one disappear... They fail in their protection mission...
Sadly, lizard model and elf model are totally new, the worg and the gobling are official models... so I don't put each one independent in the hak... It would increase the hak size...
Speaking of reference to the Goblin Worg rider. Does this work the same so you can select if the elf should continue fighting after the lizard dies and also an option so the lizard continues fighting and the drow dies, or both can just die?- Wolfsong

The test module fixed... Now, no need "drw.hak" ...
You do know drow arent normally albinos........they are dark skin..... the drow on the one lizaard looks more like a ice elf or something like that....... you best bet would have been take the drow model from the mod and use it... Nice model and all but The drow well do not look like drow.
