Unique Creatures:
Other Creatures:

* These are leveled creatures that grow stronger with the player.

Most creatures encountered in the game are generated from leveled lists. This means that the game does not usually specify the exact creature that you will encounter at a given location; instead it specifies that the creature will be picked from a list of possible creatures, based upon the level of your character when you enter the area.

The above table shows which creatures belong to each of the standard leveled lists, and the level at which you will normally start to encounter them. These are the typical levels, but exceptions do exist, which are detailed along with the creature statistics. Two common exceptions are boss-level creatures and creatures encountered along roads, both which will be encountered two levels lower than the typical level.

  • Oblivion-Creatures: This category lists all articles related to creatures and all individual creatures in the game.

Animals[edit]

Animals are non-magical creatures that generally rely upon melee-type attacks with their claws and fangs. Most animals are hostile. Several animals have resistance to frost; otherwise they have no magical abilities.

In some cases, the listed animals are primarily generated from animal leveled lists; these animals are commonly encountered along roads or in the wilderness, and are also found in several caves and some ruins. There are several animals, however, that are not part of these leveled lists, and there are other "nuisance" animals found almost anywhere. Specifics are provided with each individual animal.

Black Bear[edit]

Black Bear

Black bears are large, hostile animals. They do about half as much damage and have less than half the health of their larger relative, the brown bear.

Boar[edit]

Boar

Boars are small, hostile animals that will try to gore you with their tusks. They are extremely slow, which gives you a good amount of time to prepare yourself.

Brown Bear[edit]

Brown Bear

Brown bears are large, hostile animals that rely on their large, clawed paws for attacks. They are 30% larger than their smaller relative, the black bear, and about twice as powerful.

Deer[edit]

Deer

Deer are skittish, non-hostile creatures that will flee if approached. Does are more common and are found in herds of two or three. Bucks are solitary and notably hardier.

  • Found: Deer are found randomly along roads or in the wilderness (from animal leveled lists); they are never found inside, and are not aggressive.
  • Level: 1
  • Drops: Venison
  • Ranged attacks are preferable, unless your Athletics and Speed are high enough to keep up with them, or your Sneak is high enough to avoid detection.
  • Has a 10% chance of being infected with Dampworm.
  • Although non-hostile, deer are counted by the game as an "enemy" when trying to wait or sleep outdoors.

Dog[edit]

Dog

Dogs are generally non-hostile, although dogs protecting bandit or marauder camps may attack. They can be distinguished from wolves by the darker tint of their fur.

Horse[edit]

Horse

Horses are creatures that can generally be ridden. They are typically non-hostile but may attack you if you attack them first, and can deal a large amount of damage by rearing up and slamming their front hooves on you. Information on acquiring and riding horses is provided on the Horses page; the Horse Armor Pack allows you to purchase armor for your horse.

Minotaur Lord[edit]

Minotaur Lord

Minotaur Lords are more dangerous versions of the minotaur, with more health and more damaging attacks. About one-third of minotaur lords are armed with warhammers.

Will-o-the-Wisp[edit]

Will-o-the-Wisp

Will-o-the-Wisps are glowing, non-corporeal beings with powerful magical attacks.

Goblins[edit]

Goblins are the most common type of monster in the game. Many caves, abandoned mines and forts are inhabited by goblins.

Goblins are very fast on their feet and in melee combat, and have a forward-jumping attack with a long range. They are typically armed with poor-quality, one-handed weapons or bows, though some are unarmed, and goblin shamans may wield offensive staves. Goblins may also use poisons to augment their damage. Goblins seem to love lockpicks; almost all goblins have a 25% chance of carrying two lockpicks. Except for Bitterfish goblins (which drop scales), they do not drop any alchemical ingredients when they are killed, though they may have coins and clutter objects. Many goblins are depicted as wearing armor, but except for occasional shields, the armor (often made of bones) cannot be removed.

Aside from random goblin encounters, there are seven tribes of goblins in the game, each inhabiting a specific cave or ruin. These tribes each have a fixed roster of goblins, so in these caves you will always find a predetermined combination of all five main goblin types, including a single goblin shaman and a single goblin warlord. The seven tribes are: Bloody Hand, Dust Eater, Rock Biter, Sharp Tooth, Skull Breaker, Three Feather, and White Skin. If goblins of opposing tribes encounter each other, they will fight each other to the death.

Most other goblins encountered during the game are not part of any tribe. A non-tribal goblin will not attack a tribal goblin upon sight, and vice versa. They are randomly generated from goblin leveled lists. If you enter a cave of non-tribal goblins early in the game, you may find only plain goblins; if you enter the same cave late in the game you will instead find multiple goblin shamans and goblin warlords. The Bitterfish goblins also fall in this group, i.e., this one tribe is made up of randomly generated, leveled goblins, and is the only tribe exempt from the tribal hostilities.

Goblin[edit]

These are the weakest variety of goblin. They wear nothing but a loincloth.

Goblin Warlord

  • It cannot be damaged, but will automatically be destroyed once the Great Gate is closed.
  • Technically, it is not a creature but rather an "activator" in CS, which means its attacks, movement and death are all scripted.

They are commanded by Umaril the Unfeathered, and share his desire to destroy the Nine Divines.
