Skyrim: 5 More Disturbing Creatures You Should Absolutely Avoid in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim

2:40 - "Like their wolf counterparts, werebears necessarily suffer from lycantropy." Given that the word _lycantrope_ comes from Ancient Greek _lukánthrōpos_ "wolf-human", and the Ancient Greek word for "bear" is _àrktos,_ wouldn't it be Arkantropy in their case?

[@Unleasings]

yea

[@RedElm747]

Collectively human who shapeshift into animal form are called therianthropes. Both wolfs and bears are pretty common forms of this across cultures. Interesting parallels in Norse culture are the beserker and ulfhednar. Though not traditionally shapeshifters, they would engage in trance inducing rituals before battle to take on the spirit of the bear and wolf respectively. Supposedly this allowed them to be stronger, faster, and ignore pain. Berserker means bear shirt and ulfhednar means wolf pelt reflecting that they were known for wearing their respective animal pelts.

[@KingD-Trix]

Spriggan earth mothers are definitely not afflicted by vampirism. They are most likely the oldest type of Spriggan, as being soul trapped will result in a greater soul.

[@lordcrunchy4821]

I personally always saw the earth mothers as simply being incredibly ancient spriggans. Their bodies are dark because the bark that their bodies are made up of has become petrified, hence the name "earth" mother. However, with age comes wisdom, and so the earth mothers are far more powerful than their younger counterparts. As to the purple glow, there a bunch of different possibilities. Perhaps, rather than the green mosses and leaves that the lesser spriggans have domain over, the earth mothers associate more with rare funguses and vegetation found deep underground like those in Blackreach. It could also be that the earth mothers utilize a form of nature magic completely separate from the standard spriggans, purple being a closer match to the pallet of storm atronachs, which, as we know, also are quite rock-like in appearance.

Maybe frost giants look like that because the ones in the forgotten veil seem to travel alone, where the ones native to Skyrim focus on herding and stuff, maybe the giants are just becoming more advanced, domesticating animals and such, and because they kill mammoths and wear the fur, and the fur on their body wasn’t necessarily

I’m quite surprised you only have 500,000 subs, you deserve millions. Your videos are amazing!

Fun side-note about the spriggans: They actually become more or less feminine depending on type. Ashen Spriggans are slender and almost flat-chested, normal ones are average, orange ones are curvier and bustier, and Earth Mother Spriggans are have the curves of the orange and a pretty impressive bust.

I really hope your grandchildren keep up your channel. Once the new game comes out.

[@HiddenTangles]

Awesome! Thanks for these videos you do! I truly enjoy them. Recently I got back into Skyrim after Idk how many years and just love that someone is out there STILL doing content pertaining to this game. Love it! Thanks again!

Personally i always theorized that the reaper was some type of forgotten daedra or even daedric prince that was sealed away by the ideal masters when they took over the soul cairn part of oblivion.

[@mike_gusta2994]

First time i saw a Lurker he was running to me from behind, i freaked out after turning and closed the game.... How the fuck did they put my mother in law in the game???

[@callmepoki]

Lurkers are pretty much a required encounter in the deagonborn dlc since when you go to purify or whatever to the pillars you summon at least one lurker each time

[@guymontag162]

Are we just going to let the whole “Earth” issue for Earth Mothers pass?

[@trevorbland9227]

Earth as in dirt maybe? Not ‘Earth’

[@weakness.detector]

2:23 this is an intimidation tactic used previously by the glorious guards in morrowind, a ritual, lost to the time Thank you kind sir

"Earth Mothers start spawning in at level 30!" Nate's 2H increases in skill to 17 while swinging at one. Bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off for him.

[@steel5315]

4:15 Well actually if the game is in the Highrock,is it Highrock or High Rock?, /Hammerfel area ,like everyone predicted, I believe the werecreature of that area is the werevulture

Some people think Hag-ravens ARE were vultures.

[@brockers555]

Hermaeus Mora can’t create, only accumulate - so my thought was always that Lurkers were corrupted people who get stuck in his realm. Similar to the seekers, except they didn’t get stuck in apocrypha because they were looking for knowledge.

[@brockers555]

GingerGuitarist great Theory, basically saying that Mora punished those who seek the power of the black books without respecting the knowledge contained within them

[@andrewince8824]

Theory: Frost giants were prevalent in the northern parts of Skyrim however Elven expansion and early human settlement drove them to extinction in all but the most secluded place in Tamriel, the Forgotten Veil. Bear in mind it's the last sanctum of the Snow Elves, all one of them.

[@PolishGigaChad180]

Lol that bunny ok? Looks like it’s been possessed.

[@doublehelix2167]

The lurkers are people who stayed in hermaeus Mora's world too long, pretty sure I read that in the of the books, says something like " it changes you " and things like that so it doesn't directly say they were made from people but I think them and the floating creatures are both made from people who stayed too long in his dimensions
