- This mod is a compilation of my Watchers (LE/SE-AE) and Vigilants (LE/SE-AE) mods. If you use these 2 mods, by downloading this new file you will be able to delete these 2 esps, thus saving space in your load order;
- Obviously you should not use this mod together with the 2 mentioned above, since they are already compiled in this new file, and using them at the same time will double the amount of these creatures 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 also find me on:

Watchers and Vigilants are a class of daedra originating from Apocrypha with an unmistakable appearance: they are floating spheres with countless tentacles sprouting from all sides and large central eyes, with keen intelligence and fearsome magical abilities.
From Watchers mod page:
"Watchers are commonly found in Apocrypha, and are a perfect expression of this strange realm: they look like spheres with a large, all-seeing central eye, and additional small eyes distributed around this central core. Their bodies are covered by tentacles of different sizes that move slowly in the air helping the creature to float around the infinite corridors of the forbidden realm of knowledge.
They have considerable magical abilities, being generally skilled in the use of electricity and fire, being able to fire powerful beams of fire from their eyes, at the same time that they perform electrical discharges around their enemies.
The Watchers usually found in Apocrypha are grayish green in color, while others, in the service of other Princes or Lords, often have other colors, and even unique abilities."

Technical info: Conjuration spells added by this mod can be purchased randomly from spell vendors or found on the map.
From Vigilants mod page:
"Vigilants are peculiar floating blue daedra with eight large tentacles ending in triangular fins, connected to a small round body with one large central eye on each side and appearance similar to the eyes of octopuses. They also have an antenna that produces light in its end, similar to that used by some benthic fish, with unknown use.
They use their long tentacles to move between tight spaces in Apocrypha, looking for intruders or rebellious inhabitants in need of punishment. Under the relentless gaze of the Vigilants, the inhabitants of Apocrypha live in order in Herma Mora's realm of endless knowledge but strict discipline.
In combat, like their Watcher cousins, Vigilants make use of fire and shock waves, in addition to shooting powerful beams of the same elements from their eyes. They can also fire beams of primordial magical energy that not only deal damage but also suck the magic essence out of their victims, which is then absorbed by the attacker.
Vigilants are rarely found outside of Apocrypha, but there are sightings of individuals guarding the hideouts of powerful mages."

(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.
