A new modElden Ring should please fans of capybaras, one of the star animals of the Internet.
Entre-Earth, the universe deployed by Elden Ring and partly imagined by George RR Martin (the author of the saga Game Of Thrones), thrives on dark and depressive environments. Nothing is happy in FromSoftware’s cult video game. Nothing is cute. Nothing really makes you want to flourish there.
But now there’s a way to soften the moodElden Ring. On the Nexus Mods portal, it is possible to download a mod called “Capybara Island”. Its goal is simple: flood the settings with capybaras, one of the star animals of the Internet (less than cats, but not far). With this project available since May 4, 2024 and intended for the PC version, Elden Ring no longer displays the same atmosphere at all.
Do you want to come across capybaras in Elden Ring ?
Created by Delamain, “Capybara Island” transforms wild animals — such as wild boars and deer — in the first area into capybaras. Even better, your faithful steed, which allows you to walk around more quickly Elden Ring, will also be a capybara. Which means you’re going to ride one — it’s pretty ridiculous on screen.
Obviously a big fan of capybaras, Delamain also replaces the home screen with a happier artwork and adds anecdotes about the largest rodent in the world (it is the size of a small sheep and can reach a weight exceeding 60 kg ). Thus, we learn that they can literally serve as furniture for other animals – information confirmed by this article from Smithsonian Magazine dating from 2014. This detail helps to understand why we can ride around on the back of a capybara with this mod, in the greatest of calms.
The project page also specifies that there are other surprises to discover. Perhaps Delamain took the liberty of transforming a boss into a capybara, which would still be very funny given the challenge that the enemies ofElden Ring propose.
