This bundle is marked as recommended. It works and satisfies the submission rules.
Update: now optimized for the NoRider Version, so it will correctly overwrite both Kodos, the one with the drummer and the pack kodo.
The texture reskin was fine, i think, but there were some very hard spot, even if the skin itself is 512 pixel wide there were some streched and blurred areas. There are also a couple of polygons in the kodo legs meshes that don't use the proper texture area. Luckily they are not so noticeable.
The Runic Race family enlarges with this war beast, so now there are 3 units and 2 heroes.
There may be another war beast, as i said in the last skin comment, an armored mammoth perhaps.
The worker unit will likely be a reskin of the human worker (who can use the militia skill and take runic weapons and armor to defend his city).
The strenght hero will be a reskin of the Tauren Chief, the Paladin (assault) or the Beast Master, or perhaps i will reskin all three because my mother allowed me.
Other units are already in development.
An icon set will come with the units in the future and maybe also buildings.

It looks great but the only area that bothers me is that guy.
Too bad that the rhinoX's hair looks so stretched and blurred on the model.
As you said some areas are blurred/not your fault, I'm sure you did the best you could with it.

A tauren chieftain skin would be good for the next.]

The texture of the body of the drummer is so tiny and lowres, and his head is essentially a cube with no definition. Of course it was made because all the attention of the viewer would entirely directed on the kodo.
At first i wanted to work on a double res texture, 1024x512 to maintain a good definition, but it was to much KB, i needed balance between quality and file weight.

Now this is up to you: you could also post a 1024x512 version for those who would want it and attach it next to your resource.

the close up pictures look a wierd.
but the gameplay view looks really nice!
and thats the way it will be used most.
the entire serrie of skins gives me a Wildling from ASOIAF feeling, pretty awesome!

The skin section is alive again master, but my reviewing skills can't hold it...
Nevermind, nice addition to the Runic race, Daenar!

Great work on this one. It fits very well with the rest of the pack (more than I think the mammoth would have 
). The fur looks amazing on the texture; it's a shame it loses some of the detail in-game. Anyway, looking forward to see what you come up with next!

humm.. not really liking the fur.. as it looks pretty cool but it totally gets.. 'lost' on the model itself.. wonder if it being white would feel better, or any natural, but high-contrasting fur color

Hmmm, the texture path replaces the riderless Kodo, not the Kodo Beast.

I have it on the editor right now and for me the path replaces both.

That's strange... I'll see if I can fix it myself.

Strange thing really, one of the 144 downloaders would have told me.
I checked now the Model Viewer and both Kodo Beast and Riderless Kodo share the same texture so, when you import the RhinOx using the textures\kotobeast.blp , they will both overwritten.
Honestly i didn't even know the texture rewrites the riderless kodo too, i could fix the skin a little to fit properly, the cargo lacks some textures for example. I guess i have to thank you for indirectly letting me notice that.

Use the optimized kodo rider from ujimasa, and change his skin path with mdxpather to use this custom skin without overwriting the in-game ones

Here you go, here's a model, just remove the War3Mapimported/ from the filepath of the original skin for the path.
