Black spikes sticking out of mesh

[Sid]

A couple of my characters (black knight and venom are 2 that come to mind) have ugly black lines sticking out of them at various angles.  Looks like long, thin spikes, or black cables pulled taut.  I don't know what's causing them but I'm pretty sure they weren't intended to be there.  Any way to remove them?

Maybe they are the cods from flying animations?  are you using the correct keyfrmaes for the meshes?

Now that you mention it the venom one was a skin that came with a character.nif but no kfs.  I used male_basic.  Thanks, that's probably the problem.  Sorry for the noob question.
