Adds over 5,000 lines of completely voiced dialogue for NPCs for more than 50 voice types, focusing mainly on friends, followers, spouses, and rivals. All dialogue is voiced using the original.

Sometimes traveling Skyrim by yourself can be lonely, but not every character would welcome human companionship – or maybe you don’t want to deal with the other aspects of the follower system like managing inventory and equipment. Maybe your character (or you!) is an animal lover. And sometimes you just need a furry friend because not having one at your side feels wrong. In this list, I’ve compiled a collection of the best animal and creature follower mods for both special edition and legendary (classic) edition I could find, taking into account variety and functionality.

Dogs & Wolves

• Dec 31, 2012 help, created follower has no dialogue options - posted in Skyrim Mod Troubleshooting: Need help. I created a custom follower using the creation kit and it turned out to work fine. Except for one thing: when I press the 'use' button on her she just keeps talking. The follower options are not showing up.
• Dialogue and Follower Control - Nether's Follower Framework - Updated to version 2.6.7; The World of Skyrim - Dynamic LOD - Dynamic Distant Objects LOD - DynDOLOD - DynDOLOD Resources - Updated to 2.84; World Encounters - Moonpath to Elsweyr Sky and Lightning fix - Updated version 1.3.

Garm the Husky Companion / (SSE)

A feature-rich dog/husky follower with many appearance options available, both lore-friendly and unique. Doesn’t trigger traps, has max stealth skill, and is overall a very well developed follower.

Meeko Reborn

While my criteria for most of these mods is that they add new animals rather than editing existing ones, this one was too good to pass up. Adds a variety of unique appearance options and features to vanilla dog follower Meeko, including a summon spell, enhanced stealth, and making him essential so you never have to worry about Meeko dying on you again.

Vigilance Reborn

Just like the above mod, adds a bunch of useful features to the vanilla dog companion Vigilance: unique appearances, cannot be killed, ability to call him to your side, and more.

Fenrir the Frost Wolf

An icy themed wolf follower, Fenrir has a unique appearance and the ability to cast several frost spells. Also comes with his own summoning spell.

Doge – The Husky Companion

A simple black and white husky companion with HD fur and eye textures. Has a few appearance varieties, such as with or without armor, and eye color options. Doesn’t set off traps or stealth meter.

Judah – Working Dog

A German Shepard Dog follower with enhanced attacking abilities and custom dialogue commands.

True Meeko

Several cute appearance options for vanilla dog Meeko. Also makes him essential and allows him to level with you.

Wolf Master

Adds a small dungeon that, one completed, allows you to recruit several wolf companions. Also includes options for allowing several wolves to follow you.

Doge Reborn – Shiba Inu companion

A cute Shiba Inu follower dog. Has optional black fur version.

Rex the German Shepherd Companion / (SSE)

Adds a family of German Shepard Dogs to Dragonsreach in Whiterun, with a couple different appearances.

Asky – almost like a real dog

Daruk The Fire Wolf

An essential, flaming wolf companion. For when you need a dog that’s also on fire all the time.
