BackgroundEdit

Cliff Racers are creatures appearing in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. They are described by characters in the game as follows: The long-tailed cliff racer is an aggressive, dangerous flying creature with a large vertical sail along its spine. Racer plumes from the native bird-like cliff racer are used locally and throughout the Empire as decorations for garments and household goods. ^[1]

ItemsEdit

40% chance to drop Racer Plumes ^[2]

Blighted Cliff Racer: A variant from which Ash-chancre can be contracted.

TriviaEdit

In The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, there is an intoxicated Dark Elf citizen in the city of Cheydinhal that will wander around and sing a song about Cliff Racers, possibly a reference to them due to the fact they are not in that game.
If you are in water then they will leave you alone as if you're not even there.
Despite their name, Cliff Racers were encountered in nearly every outdoor location on Vvardenfell. They made common appearances in the wilderness, especially at higher levels. This often led to being swarmed by them.
They have not made an appearance since The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. This is possibly due to the fact that so many players were annoyed by them.
In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Talen-Jei in the Bee and Barb in Riften sells a drink called a "Cliff Racer". Again, they do not make an appearance in the game.
In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Mjoll the Lioness makes mention of them by saying "When I was young, my father and I would journey on trips to Morrowind. The Cliff Racers made for excellent sport"
