The Udyrfrykte is a beast regarded by the inhabitants of Solstheim as nothing more than a story to scare children, yet little to their knowledge, the beast exists, and is a terrifying foe. To further add to its horrifying image, it uses a severed Nord leg as a weapon. It is a very fierce opponent, and may kill you easily if you are not careful.

Notes
- The Udyrfrykte is almost undoubtedly a reference to the beast Grendel in the epic Beowulf, which attacked the mead hall of Heorot just like the Udyrfrykte attacks the mead hall of Thirsk. Continuing this parallel, and further suggesting the link to Beowulf, what might be the equivalent for Grendel's mother is found in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion as the Uderfrykte Matron, which is part of The Horror of Dive Rock quest (notice the spelling inconsistency, "udyr" becoming "uder").
