The twisted terror of the Macho Man has nothing on the latest threat to besiege the people of Skyrim. Friendship becomes a dark magic indeed when My Little Pony Fluttershy descends from on high.
I’ve seen My Little Pony horse texture mods for Skyrim, but this mod takes the pony-worship to a whole new level. Skyrim Nexus member zdzichorowerzysta has replaced the game’s majestic dragons with the meekest of the mane six, Fluttershy.
If I may get technical for a moment, without a butterfly cutie mark on her flanks this is not Fluttershy, but rather a random yellow and pink pony of unknown origin. One could argue that this is Fluttershy pre-cutie mark, but as we saw in season one of Friendship is Magic, Fluttershy was much smaller when she discovered her calling and earned her mark.
Those of you not cheering right now may completely disregard the previous paragraph.
It’s not a perfect mod. The blood texture is still adhering to the invisible dragon frame, and from a distance it doesn’t work at all, but I’m sure they’ll work that all out. Maybe we’ll even get a little Rainbow Dash action up in here.
Sorry.

Friday, January 20, 2012 at 8:55 AMYou know I would like to see actual innovative and intelligent mods that actually improve the game to the great extent featured on the gaming blogs rather than the gimmicky replacer crap. How come that amazing mod that fixes the UI isn’t all over the place and some stupid MLP mod is?

Friday, January 20, 2012 at 11:19 AMProbably because you wouldn’t click on some youtube video about a random UI mod, or more especially: People without Skyrim won’t click on video of a UI mod.
These silly ones are entertaining, Kotaku is a tabloid site, it likes to entertain.

Friday, January 20, 2012 at 11:35 AMI don’t understand the concept of “Bronies”, or My Little Pony worship.
I just have one question: Why?

The models mane looks more like Rainbow Dash’s anyway so all it would need is some re-colouring.
