F&F: Bestiary (thread #2)

[cryonaut]

The current bestiary is here: http://www.morrowind-mods.org/tes4-v_work/bestiary.html

I tried copying and pasting the whole thing here so the whole list would be in this thread, but for some reason it gets mangled all to hell when I try to do that.

But anyway, I will keep it updated as frequently as possible, and Ixidors Bane will update it accordingly on the official website whenever time permits.

Please post any discussion on the bestiary such as misspellings, formatting suggestions, category re-arrangement, etc... here.

Please keep any discussion on creature suggestions (new creatures, changes to creatures, etc...) in the other "creatures" thread.

[Ixidors Bane]

The site has been updated with the current Bestiary (and yes I know it is spelled wrong on the site, but you'll have to give me some more time on changing that ).

[cryonaut]

Awesome. Thank you much sir.
I really like how you integrated all the maybes as different colors. It makes the list flow better than when it was broken up into two different lists. Only complaints are two mispellings: "Kirn" should be "Krin" (isn't "Kirn" Japanese beer?), and "forest" should be "forrest" for the shalk variation.

I think the only place that "Beastiary" needs to be changed to "Bestiary" is in the Library links, right? Shouldn't be too much trouble... Also if you want to PM me the ftp info I could always keep it up to date myself so you don't have to worry about it.

[cryonaut]

uh... scratch that last thing i said about the word "forest" - geezuz I can't believe no one noticed that I was so stupid and was trying to say "forest" was supposed to be spelled "forrest"!!!

[raggidman]

Just in case my link allows me to copy, here is your link cryonaut. For some reason I cannot edit my posts on the Vvardenfell Forums, so KK will have to delete if this is not what you need or it does not post correctly.

The "tamed" silt striders are actually dead silt striders reanimated by the Telvanni... they get a lot of money for doing it. Also, there was a TES3 concept art drawing of Skylamps.

[KuKulzA]

I DO NOT agree with biped nix-hounds
also were creatures are practically non-existant in Morrowind, the Temple Ordinators do their job well

where did you get that? in TES3 they said that the silt strider was partially hollowed out and it's organs manipulated with...

[Axen]

I really can't remember where I got that information from... I'll go dig through the dialogue in the TES3 CS, if I get bored enough.

I always thought that the top carapace was hollowed out revealing organs that were manipulated by the driver....
