What creatures look the most powerful, dangerous, scary?

from the pathetic rat to the monstrous minotaur.

It dosen't matter how powerful they actually are just how strong they look.
I mean the big xivillia (a powerful daedroth spelt wrong) dosen't look nearly as
scary as a land dreugh even though it is more powerful.

So.... what do people think?

I think the minotaur looks the scariest
The most dangerous that I've found are the goblin warlords, especially if you have to fight more than one at a time.

Shadowmere.

mudcrabs haha

Daeloth are deadly

Col John Sheppard

for me its billies.. (land dreugh)
but the things that i hate fighting the most is ghosts ETC.

when you forget to bring a silver magic or daedric weapon?

Col John Sheppard

Heh, sneak changes most For me it's any summoner durable enough not to die by one sneak attack. Such as spider daedra at medium levels, for example, or spriggan at lower. Thankfully, they are still not as healthy as the most dangerous opponents in "fair" combat.

nope, john
its just when the difficulty on about 60 % they are harder than other creatures..

odd i play on hardist 85% of the time me or soina kills them they dont put much of a fight all ghost unded apart from gloom wrath they put up a fight and so do most of the daedra

Col John Sheppard

okay john.. maybe my char is just bad then.. he is about level 26 i think..
but i cannot play on hardest then i would die all the time from one hit.. heheh

The skinless hounds of shivering isles give me the creeps.I'm not comfortable with large dogs anyway but skinless large
dogs remind me of some dreams i've had,nope don't like em.

poor gandalf

most of the SI stuff do freak me out when the knights take you by surpirse wow its shocking

Col John Sheppard

rats

seriously. They're like three feet. I don't know what's scarier than a three feet long rat.

From Marty's monster mod I would have to say the Clannfear Matriarch and the Lich Lord.

The Clannfear looks like a giganotosaurus and the Lich lord has got to be over 15 feet tall.

i think they were made that way so we can see them haha

Col John Sheppard

Not the most horrible, even less the most fearsome creature in Tamriel, no doubts. But the one that startled me the most was a... mudcrab... yes, no joke.

First time I saw Cyrodiil in all it's mid morning glory. I had just get out the sewer and was, open mouth, marveled with the scenery when something bite me hard almost letting the health bar empty (or it was already compromised, don't recall) but doesn't matter... I, myself more than the PC jumped high out the chair

The two rats at the beginning of the game that burst through the wall, Jeez how big are they must be having a lot of Skooma

or a grow into a freaky large rat potion perhaps?

Col John Sheppard

Well, id have 2 say a lich is the scariest looking creature in oblivion, both because of its appearance and its *sskicking abilities. Seriously, its a mage's worst nightmare.

i hate fighting bears, they always stagger you, so you cant hit back and summoners, they keep summoning their daedra and then run away, now thats just cowardice

I have to say rats are the scariest for me
I mean land dreaughs look freaky but at least you can see them.
with rats its just what the.. BANG!!

When I first played Oblivion I completely underestimated rats and got quite a shock when one lunged at me.

land dreugh are the coolest looking (BTW i read a vinilla tes4 book that compaired the land dreugh to a sea dreugh, is there a sea dreugh?)

The sea dreughs featured in one fo the other ES games, not sure which one though.
In response to the many rats are the scariest ones, I quite like the rats. Catch them with a power attack when they leap at you and they go flying all over the place, great fun.
The enemeis that look scariest to me are probably the land dreughs. I rememebr when I firt saw them..Was going back to a fort I cleared earlier, went into the keep and a billy appeared otu of nowhere. Scared the hell out of me

Hate ogres with a passion. Sometimes I just go out in search of ogres to kill.

Although land dreughs are probably the most scary looking.

sea Dreaughs are from Morrowind. I first discovered them level 1 just starting off the game.

I though "hey theres a guy swimming off in the distance"

So I swam over there and as I got closer I relized this "guy" had tentacles and was attempting to inflict pain on me.

KILLED ME TWO SHOTS!!!

I WAS LEVEL 1!!!!!

But anyway you probably don't want to hear this old Morrowind veterans ramblings

Scariest thing iv seen so far, comes from MMM.... I think anyway.


I was in Leyawiin chapel, late at night, decided to go down into the Underdroft to practice a bit of ranged combat on the ghosts down there. As i was sneaking round the corner I hear a deafening scream and this flash of white light darted across the room a few times then came straight at me still screaming.

Next thing I knew I was paralized on the floor for 300seconds, then killed....


When I reloaded the game it wasnt there...... very freaky

Just before i died however I saw "Ghostly Apparation" as the name

the monster that looks more powerful it's the lord minotaur.
but i like ogres too

Billies scare the hell out of me, only because they remind me of lobsters. And headless zombies, because seriously...anyone who has that sort of depth perception WITHOUT a head or a brain is something worth being freaky. Which is thus translated into dangerous ^_^ Goody!

Zombies... I've never really liked the undead... Especially when you have your headphones on, volume way up, they sneak up on you, and then... RAAWWWWWWRR!

I hate ogres, but i love fighting them

i agree, the minotaur lord looks like a mean mf.

Slofs giger clanfear look... well not realy scary but kinda powahfull sort of.

Scary scary scary... nope. Oblivion isn't scary - comeon.
Dungeon dwelling ghosts that just hang arround waiting to be shot and mauled?
Undead that slowly come out of slowly and noisily opening hiding places?
A sudden jab of silence and a change of tune just before a rat hits your back?

Then again - doom3 and F.E.A.R. onlly surprised me once (each), so I guess it's a personal problem . (d3 - the imp behind the staircase when you exit the com room, F.E.A.R. - when you get on a lader to go down and she's behind you)

will-o-the-wisps, the first time I saw one it disappeared and I thought it ran away.

I would have to say deers, yes deers oh yeah they may look nice and make you all nice and warm inside, but im telling you deep down inside are monsters just waiting for the right time to strike. To kill everything, human, orcs, elves etc etc etc, the deer's time is at hand, may the NINE help us all.

But i have to say i havnt come across anything that made me poo my pants..yet

yay a 2 month old subject.

there's one "normal sized" rat in goblin jim's pantry section of goblin jim's cave. resurrect that puppie and see what happens. you can't hit the little bugger.

trolls are a pushover, ogres are atleast easy to see, billies are mean little bastards, but i prefer the Giant Slaughterfish or the GIant Mudcrab. I made a mod for myself that puts them in other places. just think, an uber-strong, 4x size slaughterfish swallowing you whole while swimming in the murky nibinean bay? freaky! i scared myself to the point of poo when he came out of the depths for the first time, and it was MY OWN MOD!

Aurons ( was that spelled corectly) fron KoTN. in garlas Malatar when you think they're dead and then they get back up! Yikes!

Im gonna say that in my opinion Goblin Warlords are the most dangerous enemy they are not scary or anything but for some reason they can take an inhumain amout of damage and are really fast so the whole run backwards thing doesnt work well so i just sneak past them. As far as scary goes it isnt a monster but a trap more specificly dart traps wich are fine if you see them but if u are in a pitch black fort with the sound really loud and all of a sudden your guy just does that really loud grunt and starts taking damage it always makes me jump till i figure out what it is but as far as enemies go they are all pretty B rate as scary

I'm suprised nobody has mentioned the gatekeeper from SE.

Nah, the Gatekeeper is a gentle Giant, i kinda like him.

Well, when he's not on your side he looks pretty intimidating o.0

That Frost atronach, or The Sunken One, whatever it is really make me tremble the first time I saw that dude until It shattered when I whoop his ass!!

It has taken great effort not to write "Yo Momma" in giant letters here. But the get-back-up-Aurons in KoTN Garlas malatar. Think they're dead, think again.
