"Homonculi are small flying chimeras created by alchemists who magically combined the properties of certain spells with parts of various daedra to create this creature. The process is much more similar to the creation of other chimeras rather than resembling the atronach and golem creation methods.

Alchemists work with different methods than conjurers, therefore, although they are also made of organs, flesh, bones and other materials from other living beings, they are not crudely sewn together as a grotesque shape, in a deformed amalgamation of tissue like a Flesh Atronach.

Using complex and little-understood magic, alchemists fuse organic and non-organic substances into complete functional living bodies using their mysterious methods, which produces creatures with a much more natural and organic appearance than those produced by regular methods that create golems, atronachs and other similar-looking constructs, usually much more mechanized in their appearance and behavior.

Homonculi possess intelligence, possibly similar to that of a Goblin, they are bred to serve their masters and are often assigned to guard areas, using their ability to fly to patrol corridors searching for intruders. They are not exactly of Daedra origin, but, due to the fact that they are magically formed from Chaotic Creatia, manipulated and bound to Nirn, they are affected by spells harmful to Daedra. 

Larger than an Imp, they can be considered mid-level enemies, casting fireballs and projecting floating fire rune traps that explode on contact. Furthermore, they can also use Flame Cloaks, making them a burn hazard for direct combat."

So far no incompatibilities have been found between this mod and other mods.
(OBS- If by chance when installing several of Mihail's mods at the same time you are asked about files overwriting those of other Mihail mods or other authors mods, don't worry because they are just the same files shared between mods. I recommend that on these occasions always give preference to the files contained in my mods, and among mine always give preference to the mod you are installing last.)



  • It has been reported by some users who have installed mods that add animated wings to the playable character, that both types of wings can semi-blend into a weird bug, causing you to at certain times develop Homonculus wings on your back instead of wings that you intended to use, such as fairy or dragon ones, added by other mods. It's not quite clear how this bug works, but maybe it's due to animations and other files shared between mods. If you don't use mods for that purpose then you have nothing to worry about.



The Mihail Monsters and Animals series aims to create and make available to the community the most complete set of creatures for TES 5: Skyrim, implemented in an immersive and unique way, with respect to the pillars of lore. Instead of pathetically just throwing models and textures in the game reusing 100% vanilla mechanics, the creatures made by Mihail have uniqueness and extreme zeal in their idealization and implementation, which will provide you with an experience that you have never had before in this area.
