Numerous creatures draw their animations from other creature models through the SetSupermodel parameter defined in their MDL file. Note, this parameter always lists the MDL filename filed by the animation supermodel's MDL filename. Modifying these BASE models can cause issues with models that are linked from them. Some are noted in the appeance.2DA by the identifier label "BASE" used in the Name column. Unfortunately, not all models are identified. For reference, this page is a compiled list of all the BASE models that I have been able to identify.
CAUTION: Some model sets have a complex, interconnected family tree. For ease of reference, I have highlighted with bold text MDL files that have a NULL supermodel (making them the BASE animation supermodel).
Models listed with a Row value as "n/a" are supermodels that are not listed as appearances in appearance,2da.
