Emerald Garuda has several technical details that need to be considered when creating a replacement. 

• Emerald Garuda is classified as a flying/floating creature.

• Emerald Garuda is affected by in game /petsize commands.

• Emerald Garuda has 1 to 1 scaling. Any creature that is used to replace it will be its true size when set to Large.

An Emerald Garuda replacement generally involves several basic parts

• Model replacement

• Skeleton replacement

• Binder replacement

• Idle Animation replacement

• Spawn Animation, VFX, and SFX replacements

• Despawn Animation, VFX, and SFX replacements

• Aerial Blast Animation, VFX, and SFX replacements

In addition to the basic parts of the replacement, there are often other factors to consider that are more advanced edits

• Scaling the model, skeleton, animations, and binders.

• Shifting factors necessary for putting a terrestrial creature onto a flying/floating summon. This requires three versions of the summon to account for the three /petsize commands.

• Emerald Garuda does not have attachment settings. So when replacing it with a creature that is supposed to wield a particular weapon, the weapon has to be located and manually attached and weighted to the skeleton to be added to the model.

• Some creatures, like Demi-humans, have multiple separate pieces that are combined by the game to give them variety. These parts have to be combined together to use as a replacement.
