AnimalsEdit

Domesticated AnimalsEdit

Domesticated Animals are animals usually living in camps,villages, cities or sometimes, wandering about alone. As such, if these animals are physically harmed, or stolen (in a horse's case), the one harming them will earn a bounty in that reach or city.

Wild PredatorsEdit

Wild predators are similar to real-life wild predators, with the exception of Mudcrab (crab), Slaughterfish (piranha), Horker (walrus), etc. (Predators with different names and characteristics than real-life predators) And nonrealistic predators at all, such as Ice Wraiths, Werewolves, Trolls, and Chaurus. These all can be found wandering the wastelands of Skyrim, all in their own region.

Wild PreyEdit

Wild Prey are the opposite of predators, as they are being killed more often. Deer, Elk, Wild Goats, Foxes, Mammoths and Hawks are often hunted for food or clothing.

FishEdit

The only harmful fish is the Slaughterfish, like its real-life counterpart, the piranha. Salmon and Spadetails are simply mindless-seeming fish that can be captured for food and potion ingredients.

Certain fish thrive where others do not, the docks are excellent places to find fish for alchemy that the Alchemy merchants do not, though this could mean stealing.

BanditsEdit

Main article: Bandits

Bandits are hostile, weapon-wielding groups that attack on sight. Where there are Bandit caves or camps, there is usually a Chief to keep chaos in order. Chiefs are very strong leaders of Bandit gangs, often wearing mid-level armor.

SprigganEdit

Spriggan are tree-like humanoid creatures, always female. Matrons tend to be harder to defeat than the usual Spriggan, with their heavier armor and more powerful magics. They are guardians of nature, and specific groups follow either Kynareth or Meridia.

TrollsEdit

Trolls are big, ape-like creatures with three eyes. Their usual loot is Troll fat inside a bowl.. Trolls inhabit most of Skyrim, although mediocrely uncommon. Two types of trolls can be found, regular and Frost trolls. Frost trolls, as their name suggests, live in colder regions with snow.

VampiresEdit

Main article: Vampire

Vampires are humans who have been bitten by another vampire in order to gain their disease: vampirism. Vampirism can be cured, but is quite hard. Vampires have black eyes and do not age, as they stay at the age they were bitten at by another vampire (i.e. Babette in the Dawnstar Sanctuary, who was bitten by a vampire at age ten, and has appeared that way ever since. Although, she has the mind of an adult, and has actually lived over two hundred years.)

WispsEdit

Wisps are glowing, spherical creatures flying around to attack the Dragonborn. They are usually near their mother, the Wispmother, who is a female, glowing humanoid being that are somewhat hard to defeat. Wispmothers are also pretty resistant to Frost.

WitchesEdit

Witches, who normally follow (but not always) Hagravens, are human female mages who usually use Frost or Shock spells and wear black or blue mage robes.
