About this mod

The Banekin is a small pesky daedra that resembles a winged humanoid with a mottled bluish-gray body covered in spikes from head to tail. He has pointed ears, hands with sharp nails, forked feet that end in two thick claws, a pair of long horns on his head, and bright blue eyes. His behavior is usually described as being as ugly as he looks.

  • This mod is the standalone version of my Banekin creature, originally released in my Scamps and Banekins mod (LE / SE-AE). If you have the mentioned mod installed, you already have Banekins in your game and you don't need to download this mod which only adds the mentioned creature and no other creatures contained in the original mod;
  • Obviously you should not use this mod together with the Scamps and Banekins mod mentioned above, since the latter already adds Banekins to your game, and using them at the same time will double the amount of the mentioned daedra in your game, in addition to other possible problems;

  • If you use, like and value my work, please consider giving an endorsement. I've worked hard for years to offer you the best of me for free, and the only thing I ask in return is this gesture, which increases my relevance and engagement on Nexus, and motivates me to continue;
  • I do not inspect or have any influence over translations of my mods (including those linked directly on my pages), nor do I have any power over patches or add-ons made to my content. So, before using any unofficial add-ons for my mods, make sure they conform to the latest version of my official release, and never use these if they don't. The same applies to Xbox ports;
  • In addition to the Nexus, you can find me on Youtube and on my Discord server;
  • Do you have any doubt? Read my Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).






"The Banekin is a small daedra that resembles a winged humanoid with a mottled bluish-gray body covered in spikes from the neck to the end of the small tail, which also sprout from the limbs and shoulders. They have pointy ears, hands with sharp nails, forked feet that end in two thick claws, a pair of long horns on their head, and glowing blue eyes as if they were made from Azure Plasm itself. They can speak rudimentary Tamrielic and are sometimes used as familiars by powerful sorcerers. Banekins are agile daedra, but their small wings are of little use, serving only to help them leap higher. They use modest shock spells in combat, although visually striking. Considered very agitated and mischievous, not all mages, vampires, or even other daedra tolerate their presence in their domains. They are also documented as an invasive species in Soul Cairn, like Daedrats. 

Banekins are primarily associated with Molag Bal and the Prince's realm, however, Dagon also created his own subspecies of Banekin, resistant to fire, and capable of manipulating it, on a small scale. These Banekins have red skin and glowing crimson eyes."

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.)



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.

New quest mod coming soon: The mod's first open alpha test release was initially planned for late September but was pushed back to mid-October for better polish. The several hours long adventure takes place mostly in Oblivion, specially on the Deadlands, and is intended for the Champion of Mehrunes Dagon, however, several of the objectives include interaction with other realms and daedra, even in places outside of Oblivion itself: you will travel between dungeons, open areas, underground caves, towns, gigantic daedric towers, and much more.
In October I will relese the first open alpha for community testing and bug finding, also as a show of respect to the users, since the project will take a full year yet to be completed, and i want people to know that the project is being developed, and also providing them a place to have fun while waiting, and at same time this will help me with bug finding, and with ideas for improvment. Quest has 30 acts, each new alpha will feature 3 new acts. Open Alpha Test 1 will feature only the first 3 acts, but already with several hours of content. I plan to release a total of 9 to 10 alphas before the finished release.


Oblivion Gate test


(First test made on testing cell with vanilla interior dungeon lightning, second test made on vanilla
dagon shrine with natural exterior world lightning. I was not happy with my first try (showcased on
the video of the first gate test I published time ago), so i came back and redone the oblivion gate
effects and sounds, and now i like them much more.)


Oblivion Gate test 2

(Final test just to see how daedra exiting the gate would look like. No daedra will come from this gate, but
later on the mod they will come from others, while already in oblivion, specially when travelling between
realms and/or pocket realms. Check the previous testing to see the full working mechanics of the
Oblivion Gates on the mod.)

Mythic Dawn Archvicar lines

(He is the second main NPC of the mod, with Agent Ragna being the first and the central npc of the introdutory
quest "The Sigils of Oblivion". After finishing it, you start the main one, "The Herald of the Second Coming",
and is the Archivar who introduces you to the adventure. (he is using right now my 4k re-texture of Mythic
Dawn Robes, but in the finished version he will receive unique "Mythic Dawn Priest Robes", although
they will not be featured yet on the first open alpha testing release))



Interaction with Dagon at Azrak'ath Ruins

(First communication with Dagon in the end of the introdutory quest "The Sigils of Oblivion". After you
collect the sigil stone you travel to his shrine to enter the gate to the Deadlands. (video is a bit outdated,
on current state the eyes of dagon glow in fire when you approach and he starts talking))



Azrak'ath Ruins boss fight (end of act 1 of 30)

(Final boss of the Azrak'ath Ruins. These ruins are underground Daedric ruins on Nirn, more specifically on the Reach. Here
you complete Act 1 of the mod, and most of the remaining 29 acts take place in Oblivion, about 80% of them in the Deadlands.
In act 1 the introductory quest The Sigils of Oblivion occurs, where you collect the Sigil Stone that will be used to open the Oblivion
Gate that I showed in previous videos. When you enter the gate the main quest The Herald of the Second Coming will then begin.)


Azrak'ath Ruins Mythic Dawn ghosts in the end of act 1

(At the end of Act 1, still on Nirn, in an underground daedric ruin, after you finish the dungeon and acquire the
ritualistic Sigil Stone, several Mythic Dawn ghosts who were killed in this ruin during the Oblivion Crisis,
during an attack by Vigilants of Stendarr, appear to motivate you to go ahead and carry out Dagon's plans,
which start with the Dragonborn opening a portal to Oblivion.)
