This Total Warhammer 2 mod adds fantastical beast units to the wood elves

Total War: Warhammer 2's wood elves are already pretty strong in a fight, having a bunch of neat military recruitment options and units at their disposal (I'm looking at you, hawk riders). However, one modder reckons "the forces of nature could do with a bit more beast variety" and, having seen their answer - a mod adding a raft of new fantastical beats units and more - I'm inclined to agree.

Charmingly-named modder Calm&NormalTime has posted their very first Total Warhammer 2 mod on the turn-based strategy game's Steam Workshop, which is simply called 'Animals for wood elves'. This creation adds a whopping 12 new animal units to the race's range of options, which draw on both majestic real-life creatures, such as boars, elk, wildcats, great stag, and boars, but also some fantastical beasties that should bring something new to their playstyle.

The modder lists pegasi, unicorns, white wolves, arboreal griffon, a lake dragon, and "questing beasts" in the lineup of new wood elves units, and from the screenshots of these (check some out below), they look like excellent additions to the forest-dwelling warriors.
