A small mod that adds bear & wolf armor and scarfs for dogs ^^ (wolfs and wargs too) mostly to show the capabilities of my other mod Animal Gear: Base and as an example for people looking to add their own animal gear (which is not that much work, see the "Animal Gear: Base" description or the contents of this mod).

+ Now also includes basic dog armorvest, boar armor and thrumbo armor(wip)

+ Now also includes some new items drawn by skadi: Elephant Howdah, Fox Bandana, Thrumbo Gear (riding harness & horn blade)
+ Cougar, Panther Lynx - armor (Cat of Prey Armor -> ingame)
+ Cat-armor
+ Warg-armor

+ Now also includes some new textures/items drawn by Onyxheart:
- new thrumbo-armor texture
- new bear-armor texture
- new item: Dog-gambeson (currently only for the husky but other are in the works)

The armor is pretty helpful if you don't like your animals to get hurt or killed as easily in a raid.

You need smithing and a smithy to build the armor, scarfs are made by tailoring.
(Some of the armors need the "plate armor" research or "complex clothing")

In addition to the armor, the same animals now can use the normal shield belt.
(They don't show their charge, but work and do show up in the gear-tab)

You might need to add them to the outfit "Anything" or create a new outfit.

The mods are repacked as is, without any additional software, malware, or bloatware added. To check for viruses, use a reliable antivirus or upload the archive to a website like virustotal.com. Anyway, It's always a good practice to keep backups of your saves in case of mod incompatibility .

There is a folder in the .zip archive. To install the mod, move the entire folder (not just its contents) into 'Mods' folder located under your RimWorld root isntallation folder.
So, for steam version of the game, the path would look like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RimWorld\Mods
For any other distribution, firstly locate your rimworld installation path and then unpack the archive into the 'Mods' folder.
Then enable the mod in the game mods menu by double clicking on its name and restart the game
