I need some help.I only have docking station btw.but anyway,being an ettin lover,and only having DS I figured that since atavist ettins have an egg agent and all of its sprites,I would download it.After that,I start my game and import the starter ettins. When I import them,They have aquanorn tails!Is there a way to fix this?And if its a missinng sprite file,could someone send me it?

0.o Whoa, that is weird. I'm guessing they are missing tail sprites, so the game just grabbed the "next best thing" (which happens to be totally inappropriate). Since ettins don't have tails, they need a blank set of sprites.

I don't happen to have the atavists myself. Do you have any other Ettin breeds or any other tail-less breeds, like the Beowulfs, you could copy the tail from?

Try getting more breeds of ettins and see if that fixes the problem. They're using the aquanorn tail sprite because that's the closest they've got to a tail sprite of their own - installing more ettin breeds will hopefully provide the atavists with a more appropriate tail.

okay,I will install the sea ettins' sprites.EDIT:Nope,no dice.I even killed every aquanorn in the game as well as removing the agent.I'll try the lemming ettins.

Did you install sea and lemming ettins,
and fixed your atavist ettin tail yet?

The aquanorns' sprites are in ettin slot k which is still before sea ettins and lemming ettins. Try the plague ettins, and if that doesn't work, the mask ettins. (This is in response to the last poster, but if agentrok is stll having problems he can try it too.)

Calthax, you've created the Atavist Ettins Tail topic for this same problem, so any other replies can go in there, and we can lock this old topic. Ylukyun has given you some very good advice though. :)
