Creatures on Solstheim are highly adapted to the bitter conditions; many of them are immune to cold. They are generally stronger than the wildlife in Morrowind, higher in level and have more sophisticated abilities and tactics.

[edit] Bears

[edit] Grizzly Bear

Bears are but one of the sacred creatures the All-Maker has blessed us with. They embody the warrior's strength, and some of the Skaal can even summon them to fight by their sides. — Risi Ice-Mane

Description: This dark red furred bear is the weakest to be found on Solstheim, but is nevertheless an impressive creature, much larger than the average adventurer, especially when standing up on its rear feet.

Found: All over Solsteim in the woods as well as in some ice caves.

[edit] Plague Bear

Lots of them around this island. Some of them are pretty nasty, even diseased. Doesn't pay to mess with them, though their pelts can be valuable, I hear — A guard at Fort Frostmoth

Description: Of similar size than the Grizzly Bear, this beast is more resistant against the surrounding nature than its cousin, and known to carry diseases.

Found: All over Solsteim.

Plague Bear BM_bear_brown	Bear Pelt	180	1-5	-	-	50	10−22 pts melee Resist Paralysis - Resist Paralysis 20 pts for 30 secs Ataxia disease - Drain Strength & Agility 10 pts	100 (Common)

[edit] Snow Bear

They're big, and deadly! Their claws and teeth can freeze the flesh of an enemy. — A drunkard at the mead-hall in Thirsk.

Description: This magnificent beast can only be found on few locations on Solstheim. It is perfectly adapted to its cold habitat and must be feared for its brutal attacks.
Found: Five locations in the Hirstaang forest:

1. In the snow-covered ground that runs southeast from the Sun Stone
2. Same area as above, but further southeast
3. At the southern tip of the large area of snow-covered ground, west of Fort Frostmoth
4. Same area as above, at a small round patch of snow a little further west, near the stone arch
5. At the edge of the snowy area west of Raven Rock

[edit] Grahl

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. — Risi Ice-Mane

Description: A strange huge creature that lives underground. Little is known about it.
Found: Rarely found in some ice caves.

Creature	Drops							Attacks	Soul

* This ability is turned off if the Grahl is receiving Fire Damage.

[edit] Horkers

Another of the All-Maker's wondrous creations. These creatures provide a great deal for our people. They are strong swimmers and fierce fighters, on land and in the sea. — Risi Ice-Mane

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.
Found: Common at the northern seaside, in the rivers and the lakes.

Creature	Drops			Attacks	Soul

[edit] Rieklings

Foul creatures. Some call them the Falmer, claim they are related to the other elves. This I do not know, but they are vile. Some are intelligent enough to speak, but they speak only nonsense. — Risi Ice-Mane

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.
Found: Common in the colder northern and northwestern region of Solstheim.

Creature	Drops					Attacks	Soul
Riekling BM_riekling	Riekling Blade Riekling Shield Random Loot	100	100	-	-	1-5 pts melee plus weapon	100 (Common)

** 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

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. — Risi Ice-Mane

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.
Found: Common in the greener southern region of Solstheim.

Creature	Drops								Attacks	Soul
Spriggan BM_spriggan_co1, BM_spriggan_co2, BM_spriggan_co3, BM_spriggan_co4 In and around Raven Rock during the Razing the Forest quest	Ripened Belladonna Berries Heartwood (rarely)	200*	1−5	−50 −50 50	- - 100	- 100 200	- - 100	- 100 200	40−70 pts melee	350 (Grand)

* 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

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. — Risi Ice-Mane

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.
Found: Common in the colder northern and northwestern region of Solstheim.

Creature	Drops					Attacks	Soul
Tusked Bristleback BM_frost_boar	Bristleback Leather	200	100	100	100	8−33 pts melee	150 (Greater)

[edit] Wolves

[edit] Wolf

Wolves are one of the most blessed of the All-Maker's creations. They are fast and agile, and they are careful and clever hunters — Risi Ice-Mane

Description: Next to the Plague Wolf the most common animal on Solstheim and they often travel in packs.
Found: Common all over Solstheim apart from the coldest northern region.

Creature	Drops					Attacks	Soul
Wolf BM_wolf_grey_lvl_1	Wolf Pelt	40	-	-	-	1−8 pts melee	50 (Lesser)
Wolf BM_wolf_grey		60				1−15 pts melee
Wolf BM_wolf_hroldar (Pets of Hroldar the Strange)						5−20 pts melee
Wolf BM_wolf_grey_summon (Created by the Call Wolf spell)

[edit] Plague Wolf

They're all over this island. Some travel in packs, which makes them especially dangerous. I've heard some carry disease, as well. — A guard at Fort Frostmoth

Description: This natural hunter likes to attack in packs, surrounding the prey. These creatures can spread diseases and should be treated carefully.
Found: Common all over Solstheim apart from the coldest northern region.

Creature	Drops					Attacks	Soul
Plague Wolf BM_wolf_red	Wolf Pelt	120	-	-	50	7−12 pts melee Resist Paralysis* - Resist Paralysis 50 pts for 30 secs Yellow Tick disease - Drain Strength & Speed 10 pts	50 (Lesser)

* 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

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. — A Miner at Raven Rock

Description: This rare creature is the toughest of its kin and often sought after because of its fur.
Found: Five locations in and near the Moesring Mountains:

1. The narrow passage through the Moesring Mountains that leads from the Harstrad River toward Hrothmund's Barrow, located in the northwestern corner of the island
2. Outside of Hrothmund's Barrow
3. Near the Captain Roberto Jodoin amid the wreckage of the Dwemer Airship, in the Isinfier Plains
4. Just a little south-west of the Airship
5. South-west of the Water Stone

Creature	Drops					Attacks	Soul
Snow Wolf BM_wolf_snow_unique	Snow Wolf Pelts	200	−50	20	-	10−30 pts melee Frostbite - Frost Damage 15−30 pts for 1 sec on Touch	50 (Lesser)

[edit] Special

[edit] Ettiene of Glenmoril Wyrd

Olga, Did you hear about the raven at the Altar of Thrond? It's enormous! They're saying it's a sign that the Witches have come to Solstheim... — Odd Rumor, Helena

Description: This strangely large raven appears at a certain time on Solstheim.
Found: At the Altar of Thrond.

Creature	Drops		Attacks	Soul
Ettiene of Glenmoril Wyrd glenmoril_raven glenmoril_raven_cave	Rat Meat	10000	4−12 pts melee Blackheart Blight disease - Drain Strength & Endurance 40	10 (Petty)

[edit] Hircine

You are now irrevocably involved in the Bloodmoon Prophecy and it's a fight for survival. — Korst Wind-Eye

[edit] Karstaag

I have met the master of that place, though I hope never to meet him again. — Captain Falx Carius

Found: During Hircine's hunt.

*This ability is turned off if Karstaag is receiving Fire Damage.

[edit] The Udyrfrykte

The Udyrfrykte? That's a children's tale, meant to scare the wee ones to get them in bed. Don't believe everything you hear. — Reinhardt Red-Spear
