Morrowind:Diseases

This is a complete list of the diseases you can catch in Morrowind. Yellow Entries appear only in Tribunal, and Blue only in Bloodmoon.

[edit] Common Diseases

These are the most common diseases in Morrowind. They can all be cured with the Cure Common Disease effect, or you can protect yourself with the Resist Common Disease effect. Some races are naturally resistant to diseases. Altmer, Argonians, Bosmer and Redguards each have 75% resistance.

Note: The numbers listed for effects are the maximum a disease can damage you; the minimum is always 10.

[edit] Blight Diseases

There are also other diseases called Blight Diseases in Morrowind. These are more serious, and slightly harder to cure. You will probably need a Cure Blight Disease spell if you venture into the Ashlands, Molag Amur, or Red Mountain areas, where these diseases are prevalent. The use of Resist Blight Disease effects to protect yourself from catching them in the first place is recommended. Unlike common diseases, no races are resistant to blight diseases.

Note: As with the common diseases the values are the maximum it can affect you. The minimum is 20 for all blight diseases.

[edit] Corprus Disease

Worst of all the afflictions is the dreaded Corprus disease. Also know as The Divine Disease, there is no known cure, although Divayth Fyr in Tel Fyr may be researching one in the Corprusarium.

There are only two ways to get this disease: during the Sixth House Base mission during the Main Quest (this is completely unavoidable) and during the Disease Carrier during the Tribunal Temple quest line (this is a game breaking bug). Corprus is sometimes called the "divine disease" by followers of Dagoth Ur, and it is not truly a disease at all, but the physical effects of the deity's power on mortal flesh. Corprus metastasization are often eaten by the inflicted, negating any need for other food. It may play some role in the creation of Ash Creatures.

Name	Effect	Catch From
Corprus	Corprus Drain Intelligence, Willpower, Personality & Speed 1 Fortify Strength & Endurance 1, Resist Common Disease 100%, Resist Blight Disease 100%, Resist Corprus Disease 100%	Dagoth Gares (Main Quest) Tanusea Veloth (Disease Carrier)
