Dullahan Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Hey.., again.. hah.. what, in your opinion, is the freakiest creature in Oblivion? I used to think it was the Spider Daedra, but then, when i looked at it/her, i was all, 'hey, actually, she's kinda cute!' haha.. Up until recently, i thought it was the Giant Slaughterfish.. but picture this. Your in a pitch-black Greenmead Cave. You walk across the grotto's rock bridge. You suddenly see a GIANT claw. Your heart races, as you look up.. up.. up.. and right into the face of THE biggest mud crab you have ever seen. You race back, and start slinging spells at it, the mere presence of this monstrosity causing your sweat to break out.. and then you remember that you're a Dremora Born, and say 'Heyyyyyyy!!! wait! don't i have some killer spell?' and then you zap him with Devastator. 3 minutes later, you are still zapping spells at this dead carcass, to make sure that it is, indeed, dead. 2 mins later, you summon the courage to walk past him. You spend the next 10 minutes cursing yourself when you find out that the loot he was guarding turned out to be the piss, and not worth the hassle.. haha.. your turn.

Povuholo Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 That giant mudcrab is nice! Too bad it's just the size they changed, not its strength... Glarthir with a big axe isn't a creature right?I think the land dreugh look 'nice', it's too bad I don't see them so often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tessera Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Freakiest creature.... hmmmm. Does Mehrunes Dagon count as a creature..? Actually, I guess he doesn't. Lemmee think... Guess I'll agree with Povu and pick billies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spindrift Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I nominate the rats in dark, dank caves that I fail to notice until their shrill squeak scares the pants off me as they get in a sneaky nip. What they lack in brutality they make up for in psychological torment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the npc's think he is scary, because he has a special scripted spell that makes them fly when they are hit. :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a monstrous-looking male without a father and also the most deadly thing that we're ever gonna deal with in the game. It's too bad we don't get to actually fight him... not that I'd expect to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they lack in brutality they make up for in psychological torment. I find that rats make me jump as well, but usually because I end up accidentally overlook them and then something attacks me in a dark area I thought I had cleared. It also does not help that they jump attack from a good distance way. As for my opinion for the freakiest, I would have to go with the land dreugh as well, mainly because I was so used to the water-only ones from Morrowind.

Hrm.. those Billies are actually pretty cool looking.. Why the heck are they called 'Billies'?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landsknecht Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Why the heck are they called 'Billies'?? That's just the slang for them. If I remember right, people in the game say "don't ask why, that's just what we call them" when they are on the rumor about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdoggie Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Freakiest 'creature' would be an NPC: Cheydinhal fighter's guild porter. This guy is male, so am I and he stalks me EVERYWHERE. Now I ain't opposed to different sexual preferences but this guy is standing too close for comfort if you know what I mean... Otherwise I'd say the creepiest creature is one of those zombies with their ripped and green skin. (the ones WITH a head, just look in their face with a torch sometime). They're one of the few things that really scare me about oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
