Saw it on Wikipedia and I thought it would be very nice to see them in deep water in the north of Skyrim. Also their name is actually "Snow Crab" so would be very cool Wink

I dunno, crabs in Skyrim might seem a little out of place in my opinion...

Just a thought that crossed my mind.

I remember there was an underwater life mod for Morrowind that added dozens of sea creatures. We used it in ST for a brief period of time. It's possible that it was the one Abot created ( http://abot.silgrad.com/guppy/ ), but I'm not sure. Anyway, the one I'm thinking of had, among other critters, a fully animated crab creature. Perhaps it would be worth investigating that, because even if you just get hold of the nif file for it, it should be possible to import the bones (i.e. it'd be fully rigged).


Edit: Could be Abot's I was thinking of, because I found a crab screenshot on his site. http://abot.silgrad.com/guppy/photo/wate...mg/photo044.jpg Might need a retexture to look like the crab you guys are discussing.

Mmm... crabs... tasty! :D

Yes the crab would make a nice delicacy for those rich (but hungry) Nords.

On a random note, why don't we have a Kraken-like creature (the giant squid thingy)? It would need a lot of work to model and animate, but just imagine the giant tentacles coming out of the water ready to squish you into jelly.

Something like a Kraken would really be found and it would be likely that there would only be one in our mod.

So were you trying to say "would NOT really be found"? The idea still "rulez" though since the Kraken was found (in mythology) in arctic waters in the real world and it is a Norwegian legend.

Wikipedia says that other similar sea creature were found in Nordic myths, and Kraken is a Scandinavian word, so I guess it is kinda nordic. I doubt it's possible to implement such a beasty in the game. On the topic of crabs though, I did retexture a mudcrab into an icy variant a while back. I'll include it in the next master file.

Question is, where would they go? After all, I would assume such crabs are purely coastal, which is out of the scope atm. Doubt there would be any mountain crabs...a salmon or two would be nice :D

Eastmarch has a coastline, I guess we would put them there. I don't think there would be a freshwater variety in Skyrim's lakes, but even so that's another possibility.
