Thomas' reception in Skyrim was undeniably positive among certain fans.

Rather than battling imposing forces of nature bent to an evil will, the draconic fights of Skyrim now feels more like a general strike in Sodor than anything else.

The mod radically shifts the tone of The Elder Scrolls 5. The video features Skyrim'sВ iconic execution sceneВ with a rather unusual interruption. Really Useful Dragons' initial popularity stemmed from a breakout YouTube video featuring Thomas' destructive wrath, one that accrued over 2.5 million views. The mod sits at over 69,900В downloads on Nexus, an impressive number for a train meme mod. Mod author TrainWiz's creation swaps all dragon models and roars with Thomas and Friends (alongside some truly chilling train whistles).

The 'Really Useful Dragons' mod for Skyrim launched on Nexus Mods and the Steam Workshop in December 2013. Thomas' illustrious video game cameo career really began gaining traction nearly a decade ago. Some users actually report that in the Resident Evil 3 mod, Nemesis' head still sometimes remains on Thomas' body, which is a different but equally terrifying creature as 'Countess Theodora.' Interestingly, the Resident Evil Village mod is the only one to keep the villain's character model mostly intact, which could be partly due to the massively positive reception of Dimitrescu's design. Mods for both 2019's Resident Evil 's Resident Evil 3 remakes feature Thomas the Tank Engine replacing iconic antagonists. One particularly haunting example is a mod that turns Ethan's baby into Chris Redfield. Interestingly, this is not Thomas' first appearance in the Resident Evil game, nor is it the only weird mod for Resident Evil Village. The train is available in a shade that blends into Dimitrescu's usual colors or sticks with the traditional deep blue. Uploaded by Nexus Mods user Crazy Potato, the mod even allows players to customize the color of the Dimitrescu's really useful helmet.

While some gaming experiences are more subtle with horror, like the Lovecraftian influence in The Elder Scrolls, the non-Euclidean nightmare of a rictus-grin Thomas on a huge vampire lady body is immediately unnerving. There is something that surpasses even the weirdest uncanny valley moments about mapping a grinning anthropomorphic train onto the face of the usually regal Dimitrescu. This is not Thomas' triple-A game debut, as modders have been adding the 'really useful' locomotive to high profile games since 2013. Players can finally face off against the fearsome 'Countess Theodara': a horrific melding of Lady Dimitrescu with Thomas The Tank Engine.

Some dragon spells replaced with more appropriate versions of said spells.

This doesn't count voices though, I'm not willing to rip Ringo Starr's voice just yet.

All dragon sounds replaced with appropriate sounds.

All vanilla dragon models replaced with Thomas the Tank Engine characters.

Here's the plan, straight from the modder's mouth: The video below shows Skyrim's traumatic opening made nightmarish by a mod called Really Useful Dragons that replaces the game's dragons with Thomas, the Really Useful Engine. Thomas, the friendly steam locomotive, letting off some steam. Thomas, reassuringly blue, smashing holes in walls. Thomas, dead-eyed and pasty-faced, tooting his horn. And its true nature was revealed: Thomas the Tank Engine, a hero to millions of children across the world, terrorising the poor people of Skyrim.
