It’s tradition that any sufficiently large modding community put Thomas The Tank Engine into a new game as quickly as possible. FromSkyrimtoResident Evil Villageand now, of course,Elden Ring.

The mod replaces the Tree Sentinel’s steed with the children’s TV show locomotive, making the early, optional boss substantially less intimidating in the process. That’s unusual because I normally find Thomas’s blank, wide-eyed face scarier than whatever he’s replacing, but the absurdity of having a big angry man on his back cancels out any potential fear.

If you do go to the trouble, it has another feature: it also replaces the player’s own leaping horse with a Thomas model. You can see that in action in the video from the mod’s creator above.
