Cavadrillo (Wooly and Sand)

I'm so done with this model. It was an exercise in patience and animation. It's more or less complete- I should mess with ubersplats but there's no easy way to view them real time. The animations look a little sketch in the viewer but they work pretty well ingame, and I'm not touching them any more than I already have (although the walk alternate needs major help). I forgot to save a version of one with the fixed Koto skin (actually didn't look too bad) so I'll eventually go back and recreate it and then petition the mods to reopen Diegoit's old thread to add them there (I could add a gold/lumber animations to those ones too...



Cavadrillos are solitary nocturnal subterranean creatures, rarely encountered, and although they are not particularly aggressive, they make dangerous foes when provoked or alarmed.

Their external teeth freely rotate around their large trunk in order to drill through grounds and rocks with ease.
It is only in recent years that a few brave kobolds and dwarves have managed to coerce these beasts to the surface and domesticate them. Although they are blind they have a good sense of vibration, smell, and light. Still, they prefer to remain burrowed as they are somewhat clumsy above ground

It is recommended to use a morphing ability (bear form or metamorphosis) to make the burrowed unit. Remember to set collision to 0 and targeted as invulnerable/burrowed/whatever whenever it is burrowed and to set the alternate form and check the 'does not decay' flag.

Bonus rep to anyone (prolly Maxwell lol) who can guess my new favorite animal

Interesting model and good edits of the felhound model. Works in-game.
