About this mod
This mod replaces the in game renders from the bestiary for art based on the folk/myth/legends/tales that inspired the monsters designs of The Witcher. DLCs included.
1.32 and Next-gen compatible.

- Permissions and credits
Didn't like the 3D renders of the monsters and after seeing this post on Reddit i decided to make this mod.
What does this mod do?
Replaces the in game renders for how the monsters are depicted on the mythology; i like the contrast from how they are supposed to look according to beliefs vs how they are in the game. However, various creatures are entire creation of CDPR or inspired from various sources, so in this cases drawings/artworks that do not deviate from the initial idea were chosen.
I uploaded a video so you can see all the changes.
Extra
Art for Extended Bestiary incorporated in optional files. I uploaded a video if you want to see the changes. Thanks to LetterE for the original mod and sHoGo87 for the update for those who play on Next-gen.
