🐾 Fur Randomizer - Mod Documentation

Overview

Fur Randomizer enhances Valheim’s wildlife by introducing dynamic color variation for vanilla creatures.

Instead of every creature looking identical, this mod adds a system that randomly assigns fur/skin variants, bringing more life, immersion, and visual diversity to the world.

This mod does not add new creatures, items, or prefabs — it only expands existing visuals.
