7. Halloween Mod

Werewolf of Skyrim

In this downloadable tale every city in the hold will be attacked my either werewolfs or hagravens. It sounds like fun until you see the carnage, the citizens of the city have absolutely no chance. .

A lot of blood
Werewolfs attack in packs, easy to get overwhelmed
Giant hagravens

8. Undead Skyrim

A horde of undead roaming the holds of Skyrim

This was one of the scariest, the undead basically roam the countryside and kill anything in their path. They are pretty easy to kill if you get one or two but sometimes you will happen upon a pack of ten or more which kind of reminds you of Walking Dead meets Game of Thrones. PS4 ONLY, there is no downloading, if you have a PS4 click the “mods” button on the title screen, search and enjoy.

The number of undead in one place is unsettling
The variety of undead shocks you
There is no pattern

9. Ring of Mass Necromancy

An army of undead soldiers

This one is pretty cool, once you have the ring you will be bale to command an army of undead soldiers. The more people they kill the more soldiers you will have! This is not limited to people, animals too! XBOX/PC/PS4

Command the undead
No limit to the amount of bodies you reanimate
