Bog Blights are Argonian zombies that can be found in swamps and bodies of water which contain grave-stakes throughout Norg-Tzel and Murkmire.
In appearance, they are near-nude and wear ancient Argonian masks. One of the functions of the grave-stake is to pin down an Argonian's corpse so it does not rise to the surface, however, when the stake is removed, a bog blight may wake up. The taking of grave-stakes as curiosities has led to many an unwary treasure hunter inadvertently waking them up, though strong smells such as rotting meat can mask someone's scent from a bog blight.
In Norg-Tzel, they are accompanied by Swarming Zombies and at first resemble any other zombie. However, when they are alerted, they will attempt to rush you and explode.
Skills and AbilitiesEdit
- Swipe
- A basic melee attack, dealing low physical damage.
- Exuding Flames
- The bog blight throws globs of an inflammable substance which causes small AoE circles to appear. They last as long as the bog blight lives, dealing continuous low fire damage.
- Combustion
- The bog blight begins to glow and grow larger in size, before exploding, dealing high fire damage and leaving a large pool of lingering fire on the ground dealing continuous moderate fire damage. Both of these are indicated by a large circular AoE.
Bog blights that appear half-buried in the ground will use this ability right away when starting combat with them.
