Vampiric Head Pack for Baldur's Gate 3 adds a suite of custom head presets, toggleable fang options, and integrated textures available in Character Creation and via the camp Magic Mirror. Developed by ManuliParoni as a cosmetic mod for Baldur's Gate 3, the pack integrates with the official modding toolkit and in-game mod manager. Presets cover Humans, Elves, Drow, Tieflings, gnomes and halflings, and most heads offer an optional fang toggle while keeping the base game's art direction. It suits players who prefer dark, roleplaying-focused character visuals.

The pack broadens character creation with vampire-focused presets

The mod adds a set of custom-sculpted head presets that appear in Character Creation and the camp Magic Mirror. Presets integrate with skin tone, makeup, and hair options, so heads behave like native assets rather than overlays. Heads come in versions with or without fangs and include custom textures and skeletons created to align with the base game's facial rigging and animation.

Compatibility spans most races and official platforms

The pack supports a broad selection of races, including Humans, Elves, Drow, Tieflings, gnomes, halflings and Githyanki. It installs on Windows via the official toolkit and appears in the game's mod manager, and the developer also provides official support for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S through the in-game modding platform. The mod's files aim to mesh with existing character slots rather than replace them.

Visual design keeps a restrained, lore-friendly vampire look

The heads favour a 'normal but distinct' aesthetic that echoes the game's art direction, avoiding caricature. Custom textures and skeleton work give facial expressions consistent weight in cutscenes and exploration, and most models include a fang toggle to choose subtle or overt supernatural cues. Community feedback highlights the pack's attention to proportion and skin shading when placed next to base-game faces.

The mod enhances roleplay visuals but has focused scope

Because it targets heads and textures, the pack does not alter gameplay systems or add mechanics; it stays within visual customization. Support concentrates on Body Type 1 initially, with the developer releasing related collections to expand body-type coverage for specific races. Fang options cover most but not every head model. Players who expect mechanical changes should look elsewhere; those prioritizing appearance find a compact, well-integrated option.
