- Ssnakes Items - More Grenadesby Ssnakes_EverywhereThis mod adds in new types of Grenades, spoilers on the grenades listed below.

- Protodrake Genotype (early alpha)by NalathniDragonA genotype for a very different playstyle - fight using your natural weapons and fire blasts of energy at your foes.

- Playable Saad Amus (deprecated)by 76561198354083065This mod is junk, play the new version (the new version is also junk) Adds a new Caste for true kin called Sky-Bear.

Gameplay w...101 downloadsupdated 3 y ago

- Malevolent Shrineby Mythra PSPlease remember to rate my mod! Thank you! Support: Somewhere in the deep loot of Qud (tiers 5-8, rarely) lies a shriveled finger, mummified past rot and too long at every joint.

- Iron Manby kernelmethodA Caves of Qud mod that modifies Caves of Qud's save schedule to give a more NetHack-esque feeling, and make save scumming more difficult.

- Overburdened Animationby koboldNOTE: Requires HarmonyLib from latest beta to run! Does not work with current standard release.

- The Cask of Rose Wineby GearlinkFernado was sure they were still a popular member of the Consortium.

- Throwable Daggersby EaterThrow daggers and do occasionally non-negligible amounts of damage! All daggers are gauranteed to have the potential to exceed one point of damaged dealt per throw. Penetration is pegged to the max penetration of the dagger, so generally speaking damage goes up the better the dagger. It might sav...95 downloadsupdated 9 y ago
- Zombie Modby EricHave you ever been playing through a run of Caves of Qud and thinking to yourself, "Gee, there really aren't enough ways for my run to come to an end.

- Smart Auto-AttackOne key for every kind of weapon. The game's "attack nearest enemy" key now shoots or throws at enemies you can't melee, and only takes shots it can actually make.

This was primarily...91 downloadsupdated 6 y ago
- Light Manipulation Solar RechargeIt has always struck me as a little strange that the light levels don't impact how fast Light Manipulation recharges. So this mod changes that now the light level boosts the base rate for how quickly you gain charges for lase. This only works for external light sources so you have reason to carry...91 downloadsupdated 1 mo ago
- Ssnakes Items - Flower Friendsby Ssnakes_EverywhereAdds in a few hand-held flower pots that give you varying effects. They are all available at any merchant using the 'GeneralMerchantWares' pop table, so I think most merchants?

- The Jorklerby Crack Rock GeologistV1.2.1 update: This mod is STILL not for the faint of heart, in fact even less so than before. This adds a few new weapons to the game, as well as a new Troll pet: the jorkler. He tells jokes, similar to ol' frondzie, but has lots of not-safe-for-work things to say instead. I recommend buying the...90 downloadsupdated 16 mo ago

- Mirthless Worms - Fewer segmented worm corpsesby JamfernoThis mod addresses a pet peeve I've had playing Caves of Qud. Every worm in the vanilla game has a 100% chance to drop its corpse upon death. Presumably, this is because most worm species have a chance for their corpse to be an ingredient for the fungal infection cure. However, the Segmented Mirt...85 downloadsupdated 10 mo ago
