Description: An undead type of wolf haunting the resting places of the old graves on Solstheim.

Quote: Korst Wind-Eye: "Once, they were warriors much like the Skaal. Trapped and hungry on this island, they feasted on the flesh of their fallen comrades, which is a crime against nature. The All-Maker cursed them with undeath, forever doomed to walk the land in search of more of the flesh of man to consume."
Found: Often found in Barrows.
Drops: Gravetar
Resistant: All kind of resistances.

[edit] Grahl

Description: A strange huge creature that lives underground. Little is known about it.
Quote: Risi Ice-Mane: "I have heard them called that. We do not know what they really are. Perhaps an evil spirit, perhaps a great beast. Whatever they are, they are dangerous. Their claws and tusks rend armor and tear flesh. They will attack alone or in packs. Take care when they are near."

[edit] Horkers

Description: A peaceful sea animal that is typical for the seaside of Soltheim. However, if not left alone it is said to chase an aggressor even on land.

[edit] Rieklings

Description: These little creatures reside in the coldest region of Solstheim and are often met in packs of five or more. Whilst one is easy to fend off, a group can be a deadly threat.

** While the Riekling Raider may appear to be two creatures, a Riekling mounted on a Tusked Bristleback, they are for all practical purposes one creature. The rider can never be separated from his mount, even in death.

[edit] Spriggans

Description: These spirits of the icy forest are like the local trees. Strong and resistant. Protecting the woods against intruders they fight anyone coming near and are feared greatly because they cannot be killed easily.
Quote: Risi Ice-Mane: "The tree spirits of this island. When the All-Maker breathed life into the creatures of the land, his Breath blew through the trees as well. Some of these trees kept a part of this life, and these are the spriggans you see today."
Found: Common in the greener southern region of Solstheim.
Drops: Ripened Belladonna Berries and rarely Heartwood.
Resistant: Changing resistances.
Disease: -

* Spriggans will regenerate completely the first two times you kill them. Each time, they come back bigger, and with more resistance. As a result, you can harvest three souls from them if you Soultrap them each time.

[edit] Tusked Bristlebacks

Description: The wild boar of the coldest region of Solstheim. Aggressive and mean, resistant against most influences and a fierce fighter too. Often comes in packs and should be avoided.
Quote: Risi Ice-Mane: "The Tusked Bristleback is a mystery to us. It is a natural being, created by the All-Maker, but it is a cruel and vicious animal. The Rieklings use them as mounts, and have bred the creatures to be even more warlike and dangerous."
Found: Common in the colder northern and northwestern region of Solstheim.
Drops: Bristleback Leather
Resistant: Very resistant.
Disease: -

Creature	Drops					Attacks	Soul

[edit] Plague Wolf

Description: This natural hunter likes to attack in packs, surrounding the prey. These creatures can spread diseases and should be treated carefully.
Quote: A guard at Fort Frostmoth: "They're all over this island. Some travel in packs, which makes them especially dangerous. I've heard some carry disease, as well."
Found: Common all over Solstheim apart from the coldest northern region.
Drops: Wolf Pelt
Resistant: Against Magika.
Disease: Can spread the Yellow Tick disease.

Creature	Drops					Attacks	Soul

* It's likely the Plague Wolf was given this spell by mistake instead of the Resist Paralysis ability, most likely the case since the wolf does not have nearly enough Magicka to cast this spell.

[edit] Snow Wolf

Description: This rare creature is the toughest of its kin and often sought after because of its fur.
Quote: A Miner at Raven Rock: "Funny you should mention it. I'd swear I saw one the other day. But maybe it was just my eyes playing tricks on me. All this snow all the time, and you're bound to start thinking you're seeing things in it."
