Quest Giver Aela the Huntress
Reward 300 GoldIcon
Faction Companions
Type Radiant

In these quests the Dragonborn is asked to help a citizen of a given city because an animal has intruded their home, or kill wildlife in a cave in Skyrim. The quest usually gives 300 GoldIcon for clearing out the animals. However this is level related, this means that the higher level you are the more gold you get.

CreaturesEdit

BugsEdit

This section contains bugs related to Animal Extermination. Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:

  1. Confirm all bugs with other editors on the talk page before adding them below.
  2. Always try reloading an old save first, before asking for assistance.
  3. Don't discuss possible bug fixes or origins. Leave those and all other first-person-anecdotes on the talk page, not the article.
  4. Always add  360  ,  PS3  , and  PC   to clarify which system the bug appears on.
  • If an area has been cleared before getting the quest to clear it, it may not allow completion of the quest, leaving it at a standstill in both this quest's progress and the Companion's progress.
  • It is possible that the quest will be completed without killing everything in the area.
  • Aela will sometimes refuse to end the quest, even if all the animals in the given area have been killed.
  • The location of the animal may change every time the Dragonborn arrives at that point, making it impossible to kill the animal. Furthermore, the quest will indicate completion yet the landmark will continue to pop up, making it impossible to eliminate the landmark.

TriviaEdit

  • Sometimes upon arrival at a building with the target animal, the door will be locked even though it is daytime. This requires the lock to be picked and since the owner of the house or a guard is often right outside when this happens, it is difficult to unlock the door without being caught, which will not only result in a bounty, and trespassing. Although this does not affect the quest, it can be a nuisance.
  •  PC  , PS3   When the Dragonborn add-on is installed, the quest may require going to Solstheim and killing a Dragon Priest.

TriviaEdit

  • Animals may be in the Dragonborn's home if their spouse is the victim. If this happens, the spouse will wait in their hometown regardless of where they currently live.
