Creatures of Morrowind

[Neravarine]

Wild and Native creatures.
Nix Hound

Nix Hounds are one of the most common predators found in Morrowind. They look somewhat like a mix between a dog and a cartilaginous insect. About the size of a large wolf, they either travel in packs or couples when hunting for their prey. They are found virtually everywhere in Morrowind, from The Bitter Coast to the Ash Land regions. Although animalistic and primitive looking, they are quite intelligent, and are perfectly adapted for Morrowind's strange climates and regions. They can run extremely fast in short bursts of speed as well as scale mountainous regions easily. They are deadly in groups for travelers, and caution is warned if hunting is bad for them a certain season.

Rat

Rats are the omnivorous and extremely common rodent not only found in Morrowind, but all over the world. Small rats aren't dangerous, but bigger ones about the size of dogs can be dangerous in large groups as well as carry disease. They are voracious when hungered, and can swarm their prey or enemies.

Guar

Guar are herbivorous herd animals and are quite a common site in Morrowind. They have blunt teeth and strong stomachs made for eating the grass that grows in Morrowind, and also have long and very strong back legs for running away from predators such as Nix Hounds. The natives of Morrowind have domesticated some of them for farm work, transporting goods, and for their hides, which are used as clothing and armor. They have a lot of endurance, and can run for miles.

Cliff Racer

Cliff Racers are bat/hawk-like creatures native only to Morrowind. They are extremely persistent yet simple minded hunters, flying over their prey, chasing them for miles, before swooping down with their barbed tail. They are all over Morrowind, but are mainly found in more mountainous regions and cliffs. During the Spring, they nest near Red Mountain, but with the blight and other diseases spreading, they, like most other native wildlife, are forced to expand their living space and are considered a real nuisance to humanoids. Not necessarily dangerous unless there is a flock, there is no running from them in the open. If a fight is started, it is best to just kill the cliff racer than attempt escape.

Scrib

Scribs are the late larval form of kwama. They are insect-like organisms that travel the land, and help start new kwama nests by molting into new queens throughout their lifespan. Most scribs don't survive that long however, and are eaten by both predators and the natives. Scrib jelly, the waxy gel-like substance found under it's shell is bitter and sour in taste, but extremely healthy and is eaten with gusto by the Dunmer peoples. Although practically harmless, scribs can send out a paralyzing silk if they feel threatened by an enemy, but for the most part, are not aggressive.

Kwama Forager
[/img]
Kwama Foragers are a form of kwama that search the natural lands and underground tunnels, looking for new places to colonize a nest. Although not very dangerous to people with some common sense, they are aggressive when defending their territory or searching for new territories.

Alit

Alits are dangerous, solitary predators. Very primitive in intelligence and design, the alits are none the less dangerous to ANY traveler with their crocodile-like maw and and extreme aggression. Although not very fast, alits have an almost ungodly stamina and sharp sense of smell, allowing them to track prey from a great distance before the prey finally tires out. They use their massive maw to grapple prey and suffocate them, holding them down until they choke to death or crush the windpipe. They are also sloppy eaters, gorging on many pounds of meat, even eating the bones. Good news is, they are only usually found in The Ashland Regions and around the grassy areas of Red Mountain... At least... Normally.

Kwama Worker

Kwama Workers are the tenders of the kwama nest, acting almost like giant worker ants. They clear tunnels, tend the queen, and move the eggs. They are large kwama, about the size of a dog with a tough insect-like shell. They are not aggressive though, and it's not their breeding or purpose to attack intruders, simply ignoring them instead. Although unaggressive by nature, they are not completely helpless...

Kwama Warrior

Kwama Warriors aren't actually a separate type of Kwama, but are actually the result of a Kwama Forager merging with a hallowed carapace of a Kwama Worker. The merging takes several days, in which the warrior is very vulnerable. Once merged though, they become deadly and ferocious beasts, defending the hive from intruders at all costs. They are incredibly quick and strong, and have been known to even manipulate electrical currents in the air as well as spit poison...

Slaughterfish

Found in all oceans of every nation is a semi aggressive and very ferocious fish. Armed with ripping teeth and an agile, intimidating eel-like body, the search voraciously for prey in the inky depths. They are opportunistic hunters, and may try to prey on swimming humanoids if they enter their realm....

Silt Strider

Silt Striders are giant, flea-like creatures that serve as a means of transportation between major cities for a fee. They are very docile and unaggressive, and feed from juices from giant mushrooms and plant life. They actually come from the mainland of Morrowind, not the island they were introduced to. The creature has a hallowed out shell, in which the passengers can ride in for a fee, and where the driver manipulates certain organs and tissues to control where the creature goes. Silt Striders and their services are available in Ald'ruhn, Balmora, Seyda Neen, Suran, Gnisis, Molag Mar, Maar Gan, and the North Landing near Vivic.

Kagouti

The Kagouti is an omnivorous subspecies of Alit found in Morrowind. Similar in design, as well as temperament, they are just as dangerous, if not more so as they are faster and quicker then their carnivorous cousins. Unlike the Alit, they are found all over Morrowind, making them dangerous to unprepared travelors....

Kwama Queen

The kwama queen is the life blood of the kwama hive. Without her, the hive will die. The kwama queen is massive and generally fat. Her only job is to supply the hive with eggs, which will serve as the future generations of a hive or another. The kwama queen isn't dangerous, but if she feels threatened, she will clumsily try to fight back. The real danger is when she produces a pheromone that sets the hive in a rage to kill the attackers.

Bull Netch

The male version of the netch. All netch are herbivorous jellyfish-like creatures that hover in the air using their special magical air sacs. If threatened, netch can get nasty and dangerous, but are usually calm if left alone. Netch are harvested in Morrowind as cattle for their skin, which is a durable, colorful leather used in furnishings, armor, clothes, etc... The male netch is physically weaker than the betty netch, but the male netch can use some of it's instinctive magic to summon poison on it's enemies.

Betty Netch

The betty netch is the female version of the netches. Unlike the bull netch, the betty netch is not poisonous, but it is a lot tougher and aggressive.

Mud Crab

Mud crabs are big crustaceans found all over Nirn, not just Morrowind. They are seen mainly in the coastal and Bitter Coast regions. Although not a major threat, they are territorial and aggressive, and some of them found in the Bitter Coast regions have been known to carry Swamp Fever, a very crushing disease.

Shalk

Shalk are giant black beetles found in the ashlands region, an aggressive species of the many large, more docile insects that inhabit Morrowind. Predatory and dangerous, they are capable of spitting a very painful, burning fluid to weaken it's victims.

Deadra

Dremora

Dremora are the sentient warrior race of deadra associated with Mephrunes Dagon, deadric prince of war, and long time enemy of mankind. Dremora themselves reflect this savageness, and when encountering an enemy, will fight terrifyingly with bow, blade, or destructive magic. Their grating, demonic voices send chills down mortal spines as they laugh in delight from their produced bloodshed, and only a real hero can stand a chance against them. Be warned they are intelligent, they are unafraid, they are skilled, and they show no mercy... Dremora lords being even more frightening then the lesser ranks of their kind.

Fire atronoch

The weakest of the three elemental deadric atronochs, the fire atronoch looks like a female being clad in black coal armor with flames wreathing around her form. They are immune to any fire based attacks, and are very skilled at hurling said fire at their opponents. All atronochs do not belong to any deadric prince, but may be contracted under service or in the service of some other being. Fire atronochs like fire in all forms, and like to burn things.. Including people if angered. They are very associated with themselves, and great caution is needed when a summoner wishes to summon one.

Frost Atronoch

Frost atronochs are the second strongest atronoch. They stand about seven feet tall, with heavy, stocky elemental ice covering and making up their entire body. They like all atronochs, are not bound by any deadric prince unless they wish so. Personality wise, where fire atronochs are very passionate and extreme about everything, frost atronochs are cool and cunning. Their ice and water magic is deadly, and can literally flash freeze weaker opponents.

Storm atronochs

The strongest form of elemental daedra. They stand about 6-5, and seem to be vaguely humanoid in shape. Made out of elemental stones surrounding a core of pure energy, they are deadly for the fact that normal weapons are almost ineffective, they have no elemental weaknesses, they are resistant to all magic, and their lightening magic is horrifying to behold. Like all atronochs, they are not bound by anyone unless they wish so... They are extremely hard to control... And they are very bipolar, personality changing between logical, calculative machine and chaotic and destructive maniac. They are considered one of the most dangerous deadra. Beware.

Scamp

Scamps are cowardly, weak, lesser deadra in servitude of Mephrunes Dagon. They aren't a real threat to any sane minded warrior or mage, but occasionally these lesser deadra can be a nuisance in large numbers. They do know how to cast a weak fireball spell, but other than that, they can be easily defeated, and mainly serve as scouts and meat wall in Oblivion for the greater deadra.

Clanfear

Clanfear are reptilian, animistic deadra. They are not intelligent, more like a wild creature of Oblivion rather than a sentient, other worldly being. They are dangerous though, their sharp beak full of ripping teeth and long, incredible sharp talons are quite capable of going through basic armor, and they can sprint really fast.

Deadroth

Deadroth is actually an ancient, early singular term for deadra. Deadroth them self are actually a specific species of deadra, and are non sentient servants of the deadric prince Molag Bal. They are extremely dangerous however, making them the top predator in Oblivion. They stand an astonishing 8 feet with armored scales, powerful muscles, crocodile-like maw, and foot long talons that shred their enemies. They are capable of casting deadly poison magic that can disintegrate weak opponents, and can also breath fire. Even sentient upper deadra are wary around these beasts.

Winged Twilight

Winged Twilights are sentient servants of the deadric priestess Azura. It is unknown where their ties lie, as it is often unknown where Azura's lie. They are powerful female deadra, naturally cunning and sometimes experienced spell casters. Their natural claws are like sharpened daggers, and their wings help them pick up speed when running and even gliding. They also have a back up weapon, a scorpion-like tail filled with magical venom.

Golden Saints

Golden Saints are deadra with a rather interesting history. They were once Ayleid Elves, and legend has it, when the male of their species made a pact with Meridia to become deadra, Several female Ayleids retreated from their homeland of Cyrodil during the imperial slave uprising led by Pelinal Whitestrake. They were abandoned, until a certain man, Sheogorath, deadric prince of madness made them the offer to be his deadric servants. And so, they were called the Golden Saints. They are powerful warrioresses, extremely skilled with blunt and sword based weapons. Their special armor is extremely heavy, yet also protective. They are intelligent, capable of speech like most humanoid deadra, and sometimes even know some basic destructive magics. Personality wise, they are conceited, haughty, and look down on males of any species, but are extremely loyal to their master, Sheogorath.

Hunger

Hunger are lesser deadra and servants of Boethia. They are animal-like in nature, and although not physically or intelligently as powerful as other deadra, they have other means for being dangerous. In their leech-like mouth is an incredibly sharp tongue coated with saliva that not only disintegrates and corrodes common weapons and armor, but also drains their victim's fatigue and strength. Often, a group of adventures may be needed fighting these deadra, especially in a pack, where they can easily overpower even the mightiest hero.

Ogrim

Ogrim are massive, dim-witted beasts of the deadric prince Malacath. Their huge, meaty fists can turn heroes into pulp, and their incredibly tough hide can make it difficult for normal weapons to sink into deep. They stand about 11 foot, making them giants along with their massive girth. Their intelligence is a major weak point for anyone fighting them, and for the most part, distance must be maintained so it doesn't get too close... otherwise they will rip your spine out to floss their teeth, crush you into pudding, etc...

Undead
Ancestral Ghost

Ancestral Ghosts are a type of spiritual undead. They have faded bodies with a transparent black cloak and skeleton-like face, as well as sporting claw-like hands. In Morrowind, Dunmer honor their ancestors, and in older times, each clan name of Dunmer had their own family tomb. The Ancestral Ghosts are the ancestors of that particular family line, and through the means of necromancy, guard the passed inhabitant's worldly goods and remains. They will try to kill anyone who enters the tomb's confines other than one who bears that tomb's Dunmer blood. Either through draining health with magic, draining fatigue with magic, or minor destruction magics, they make fearsome opponents. Their claws can slip right through armor to wound their victims as well. The only way to injure them is either through magic, enchantment, silver, or some kind of weapon made out of unusual materials.

Greater Ancestral Ghosts

Almost the same as a normal Ancestral Ghost, but the memory of the spirit is stronger, and therefore they are stronger in both magic and strength.

Skeletons

These tireless, completely unafraid killers are the result of reanimated bones of those who couldn't pass on. They are found everywhere, but mainly hang around tombs, which happen to be Ancestral Tombs in Morrowind. Like the Ancestral Ghost, they are as skilled and dangerous as they were in life, some skeletons mere undead versions of petty criminals to legendary figures. They can't use magic, since they are merely reanimated representations of life, but they can use whatever other skills they could in life, whether that be bow or sword. Any weapon can hurt them, but blunt weapons are the best, since they can crush the bones.

Bone Walker

A remnant of the tombs, and another guard of the dead. The Bone Walker is physically admirable, but not overall noted for it's strength. It IS noted for it's ability to cast curses, spells that drain energy and fatigue, and on the rare occasion, afflict it's enemy with Brown Rot, a horrible disease.

Greater Bone Walker

An even more deadly form of the common Bone Walker. It's much more ferocious and physically appalling in it's inhuman strength.

Bone Lord

A powerful guardian of the tombs, these were once the remains of a famous Dunmer heroes, brought back to guard it's family grave. They stand about 6 foot, clad in ceremonial cloak, and it has four skeletal arms, each capable of casting magic or using a weapon at once. They are very dangerous opponents, and some are even capable of still speaking, though it usually involves random bits of their past life and shouting to leave them in peace. Only a powerful being should go up against these remnants.

Dwemer(dwarven) Specter

The dwarves may be extinct, but their spirits still roam the ancient mechanical halls of their long lost ruins and bases. They are dangerous, capable of casting some powerful magic as well as be a force to be reckoned with in melee combat. Like all undead, weapons of enchanted or silver or even better material is required to banish them from the mortal plains.

Constructs
Spider Centurion

Spider Centurions are the animated, mechanized guardians of the dwarven bases and ruins. Their job mostly consists of guard work as well as maintaining other constructs. They aren't that dangerous considering their defense because of their small size, but they are extremely quick and agile. Their biggest threat is the sac full of dangerous, acidic poison that they may use to spray and ambush intruders with. Like other constructs, they seem to be steam powered as well as using their natural magical core as a battery.

Centurion Sphere

Centurion Spheres are strange, dangerous constructs of Dwemer or dwarven origin. They act as foot soldiers of what might have been at one time as part of the dwarven army. They are mere guardians of the ancient race's ruins now. They are highly adaptive, dangerous opponents. Their name comes from the state of inactivity, when they curl up into a bronze-like sphere when recharging or waiting... This was suggested by researchers of dwemer artifacts as a way to transport the machines easier. Regardless, they make excellent warriors who never hunger, tire... Or show mercy. There seems to be several attachments for the spheres when they use their weapons, the most common are a retractable blade, an electrified claw, and a crossbow.

Steam Guardians

Steam Guardians are the elite machine-like warriors of dwemer creation. They are massive, imposing centurions that are built with thick plated dwarven metal and huge mace head attachment that will turn most humanoid heads or spines to paste. They are hard to damage, and although they aren't fast, they are surprisingly agile. Thankfully, there aren't many compared to the sphere or spiders, and are usually seen in high numbers in bigger dwarven ruins.

Monsters
Dreugh

Dreugh are powerful, semi-intelligent beings of the water. Many claim that they are some sort of deadra, but legend has it they are the remnants of a powerful civilization, cursed for an eternity to live as beastly sea creatures... Regardless of what they are, dreugh are deadly and dangerous, and only an experienced veteran of combat should go against one. They have extremely fast reflexes, and their incredibly sharp claws can go right through armor as easily as any blade or axe. Another factor is their shell, which is light yet highly durable, and their large size can be a deciding factor in a fight against one. Dreugh go through several stages of life. During each stage, they will either become an octopus man-like hybrid or a monstrous crustacean-like beast.

Coprus Stalker

Whether they willingly took part in Dagoth Ur's mad plan, or were unfortunate victims of the disease themselves... They lose their humanity. Covered in sickly sores and rotting skin, they were once humanoid beings who caught the deadly corprus disease. Super humanely strong but mindless "zombies" They search for human flesh to devour. They have no fear, no sanity what so ever. Good news is that they are slow... But getting close has it's risks... For that would mean risking infection from common diseases or even corprus itself, which there is no cure for. Corprus Stalkers are formed from the strain of the disease that quickly takes the mind before any major physical transformations occur.

Lame Corprus

Horrifically disginfigured... These monstrous beasts suffered from the agonizingly long strain for the disease that mutated the body way before it finally took the mind. They like Corprus Stalkers, are physically appalling in their strength, but Lame Corpruses are even more dangerous in that respect. They are riddled with sickness, not just corprus, and their attacks can easily transmit the deadly pathogens. Their mere appearance can stop most people cold with terror... Beware...

Ash Slave

The lesser servants of mortals who passed away in the service of their lord, the Ash Slaves are still dangerous. Extremely athletic, strong, and capable of weaker spells, they make formidable, multi-purpose foot soldiers of Dagoth Ur's growing army. Their skin is like armor itself, it's surface rough and craggly... Like clay that had been kilned wrong. They can speak also... Though it usually is insane ramblings about their lord and how this chair is set up wrong....

Ash Zombie

These beings guard the sites where Dagoth Ur's followers gather. Like the Ash Slave, they also serve as soldiers. They are dangerous, capable of great feats of beserker-like strength, although they can't cast magic. They aren't very fast though, a result of their hardened skin, which makes powerful, natural armor.... One eerie factor is the way they seem to sense approaching enemies... Even though they have no eyes.... A sign that their service is starting to turn them into something... Even less human...

Ash Ghoul

Ash Ghouls are deformed beings that were once Dunmer in the service of Dagoth ur. They act as priests for the insane enemy of the tribunal, and are ferocious... And very intelligent and cunning. They are as strong as Ash Zombies, yet are capable of casting very deadly spells, usually pertaining to lightening. Normal weapons are ineffective against them. It requires enchanted or weapons of unusual and expensive material to harm them, and they are resistant, though not immune, to most spells cast against them.

Ascended Sleeper

The elite... These monstrosities have done Dagoth Ur a great service, and have been rewarded with power not obtainable to normal mortal hands. Their job is to act as high priests, and to visit the dreams of potential new members. They are unnaturally intelligent, capable of casting spells of horrifying magnitude. Their strength can crush legendary heroes easily, and their soulless black sockets can even view what is unseen to mortal eyes... Run if you see one... Fighting one is suicidal.

Ash Vampire
Noone has really seen these generals of Dagoth Ur. Legend has it that they were once members of Dagoth Ur's family as well as the Dwemer who joined him in the quest for godhood. Multiple historical references are made to them. They were supposed to be ancient, immortal beings who served the volcanic lord in his diseased Dwemer City. They were said to have powers that rivaled the Tribunal before they became actual gods themselves, and were major allies of the evil, insane god before he was driven back to his mountain. Although members of the Tribunal Cult haven't ever seen one, they know that they exist, simply by past battles with Dagoth Ur's minions, in which they gathered information. They aren't related to blood vampires, although both beings are powerful undead.
