The Gatekeeper of the Fringe

The Gatekeeper of the Fringe is a gigantic creature constructed from an unnerving collection of body parts. Its appearance resembles that of a large Flesh Atronach, with the exception that it has a giant weapon in place of its right arm. The unholy creation of one Relmyna Verenim, this powerful creature serves to protect the Gates of Madness, preventing unworthy adventurers from entering the Shivering Isles proper. Should an adventurer manage to defeat The Gatekeeper in battle, a new, stronger Gatekeeper is always created to replace it.

The Gatekeeper is the first major obstacle the player encounters upon entering the Shivering Isles. A new Gatekeeper can be constructed at a later point in time.

The Gatekeeper has known physical weaknesses against the tears of its mother (Relmyna's Tears) and bone arrows.

[edit] Second Gatekeeper

The second Gatekeeper is the one you help create during the Rebuilding the Gatekeeper quest. You are allowed to choose between 3 weapons for the Gatekeeper and whether it should wear a helm or not. This results in 6 (3×2) varieties in appearance. However, all the varieties are equal, and the body parts you have chosen for the Gatekeeper only determine what Greater Powers you can acquire. Note that this second Gatekeeper is by far stronger than the first.
