Monsters (also known as mythical creatures) are creatures with various magical abilities, ranging from magical attacks to various magical resistances. Statistics and summary information for monsters except dragons and werewolves are provided on this page; see the Dragon and Werewolf articles for detailed information pertaining to them.
ChaurusEdit
Chaurus are medium to large hostile centipede-like creatures found in swamps, marshlands, and caves. They vigorously project a strong acidic poison, which can eat through most armor pretty quickly. They can cling to walls and have large amounts of health. Chaurus are often found in the company of Falmer, who breed them for their chitin. Chaurus Hunters and Chaurus Hunter Fledglings appear after the Dawnguard add-on is installed, apparently transformed from a regular chaurus.
- Variations: Chaurus Reaper, Chaurus HunterDG, Chaurus Hunter FledglingDG
- Loot: Chaurus Chitin, which can be used to temper Falmer weapons and armor, Chaurus Eggs.
This is a summary of information on chaurus. See the main Chaurus article for more detailed information.
DragonEdit
Dragons are gigantic reptilian creatures capable of flight. Dragons are capable of speaking the Dragon Language, which grants them certain abilities in combat, such as the ability to breathe fire or frost. Many types of unnamed Dragons exist, as well as some named Dragons encountered in the game.
- Variations: Blood Dragon, Frost Dragon, Elder Dragon, Ancient Dragon, Revered DragonDG, Legendary DragonDG, Fire WyrmDB, Serpentine DragonDB, Skeletal Dragon
- Loot: Dragon Bones, Dragon Scales, Gold, chance of leveled loot.
- A Dragon can also be looted for any equipment carried by any units it happens to defeat.
This is a summary of information on dragons. See the main Dragon article for more detailed information.
FalmerEdit
Falmer are the near-mythical Snow Elves of legend. The devolved elven race can usually be found in Dwemer Ruins. They raise Chaurus for their chitin, from which they make armor and weapons. Falmer are blind, but have excellent hearing. They use a wide variety of weapons in combat, and commonly use poison.
- Variations: Falmer Skulker, Falmer Gloomlurker, Falmer Nightprowler, Falmer Shadowmaster, Falmer WarmongerDG
- Loot: Falmer Ear, Soul Gems, leveled Poisons, Falmer Armor, Falmer Weapons, and sometimes ore.
This is a summary of information on Falmer. See the main Falmer article for more detailed information.
Frostbite SpiderEdit
Frostbite Spiders are giant arachnids which attack on sight, and can be found both in the wilderness and in dungeons. Their lairs are often covered in webs, and usually contain Web Sacs. Spider Eggs can be found in these Web Sacs, as well as nearby Egg Sacs.
This is a summary of information on Frostbite Spiders. See the Frostbite Spider article for more detailed information.
GiantEdit
Giants are enormous humanoids that tend to mammoths, usually in fields around large fires. While generally non-hostile, they'll gesture for anyone to clear off and will give a half-hearted attack if you linger too long. Running away tends to make them give up, but a single blow from their club is likely to send you flying high in the sky. Giants have a large amount of health, but are susceptible to the Unrelenting Force and Ice Form shouts, as well as any form of Frost Damage. Giants will become hostile if attacked, if one of their mammoths is attacked, or if the player gets too close and does not back off. Occasionally, giants and mammoths can be seen traveling from camp to camp. While you cannot equip the club a giant carries, it is possible to command a follower to carry it.
- Unique Giants: Grok
- Loot: Giant's Toe, Gold, leveled items.
This is a summary of information on giants. See the main Giant article for more detailed information.
GoblinEdit
Goblins are small creatures related to Rieklings that can be found inhabiting Gromm's Pass and can be randomly encountered rarely throughout Skyrim. They have been left stranded in Skyrim due to a collapsed cavern that lead to Cyrodiil, and are now lead by the Blue God, an Orc painted blue that has been mistaken for the Daedric Prince Malacath.
- Unique Goblin: Gogh
This is a summary of information on goblins. See the main Goblin article for more detailed information.
HagravenEdit
Hagravens are witches that have sacrificed their humanity for greater power. They are the subject of a few quests, and are often found among the Forsworn, acting as spiritual leaders and matriarchs.
They will attack with Destruction magic for ranged attacks, or melee with their claws if the player closes on them. They are also among the few monsters that can speak, since they retain some humanity. There are usually Hagraven Feathers to be found nearby, and they sometimes drop Hagraven Claws as well.
- Variations: Glenmoril Witch
- Unique Hagravens: Drascua, EttieneDB, FallaiseDB, IsobelDB, Melka, Moira, Petra
This is a summary of the information on hagravens. See the main Hagraven article for more detailed information.
Ice WraithEdit
Ice Wraiths are malevolent frost spirits mainly found in cold, snowy areas. They fly quickly, circling their prey and attacking with strong frost-based attacks, and are generally encountered in pairs.
This is a summary of the information on ice wraiths. See the main Ice Wraith article for more detailed information.
Magic AnomalyEdit
Magic Anomalies are strange, aggressive wisp-like entities created as a result of Ancano's activities in the College of Winterhold quest Containment. Floating at about head level and typically swarming in groups, they attack with a magical power at close range, dealing quite heavy frost and melee damage as well as exploding when killed.
This is a summary of the information on magic anomalies. See the main Magic Anomaly article for more detailed information.
SprigganEdit
Spriggans are malevolent nature spirits appearing as glowing, green humanoid females made mostly of wood. They can restore themselves to full health easily, and can call various animals to aid them in battle, even normally non-hostile creatures such as foxes and deer. Spriggans also have the ability to summon swarms of insects to attack the player.
- Variations: Spriggan Matron, Spriggan Earth MotherDG, Burnt SprigganDB
- Loot: Taproot, Burnt Spriggan WoodDB
This is a summary of information on spriggans. See the main Spriggan article for more detailed information.
TrollEdit
Trolls are large, ape-like humanoids endowed with three eyes. Their powerful arms and claws deal massive physical damage. Trolls are also very strong defensively, possessing high health levels and a particularly effective ability to quickly and fully regenerate health during combat. Their greatest vulnerability is to fire, which not only damages them, but also impairs their capacity to self-heal.
- Variations: Frost Troll, Armored TrollDG
- Unique Troll: Udefrykte
- Loot: Troll Fat
This is a summary of information on trolls. See the main Troll article for more detailed information.
WerewolfEdit
Werewolves are people afflicted with a curse that causes them to become violent, wolf-like beasts with supernatural strength and speed who feed upon the unwary. The player is able to become a werewolf in Skyrim and there are also several named NPCs in Skyrim who are secretly werewolves. Werewolves can easily dispatch multiple enemies, and should not be taken lightly as opponents—however, they are notably weak against silver weapons. They can be encountered as hostile, generic creatures found in Silver Hand bases. As a part of the Dawnguard add-on, random encounters with wild werewolves can be found along roads and in the wilds at night.
This is a summary of information on werewolves. See the main Werewolf article for more detailed information.
WispEdit
Wisps are ethereal creatures that are used by wispmothers to lure hapless adventurers in before joining their wisp "children" in direct combat.
- Variations: Shade, Whispering SpiritDG
- Unique Wispmother: The Pale Lady
- Loot: Glow Dust and Wisp Wrappings
This is a summary of information on wisps and wispmothers. See the main Wisp article for more detailed information.
