Daggerfall:Bestiary

This article provides an overview of the creatures in Daggerfall.

'Higher levels' generally refers to level 14 (at least) and higher. However it is possible to encounter the dangerous foes already at level 6.
All monsters of a kind have the same level throughout the game, in plain language, a giant rat is always at level 1 and an Ancient Lich is always at level 21. Except for selecting the random dungeon inhabitants, the level of an enemy is only relevant if it is a spellcaster, since magnitude, chance and duration of spells are determined by the level of its caster.
The skills of an enemy also depend on its level. The value of any skill will always be five times the enemy's level plus a starting value of 30. For example, a level 20 enemy or higher has all skills at 100, a rat all skills at 35. For non-humanoid adversaries the skills in the six magical schools can never surpass 80.
The fighting strategies contain recommendations based on Daggerfall gamers' personal experiences. In general, spell reflection/resistance/absorption are very useful in fighting any monster which casts spells. It would be worth your while to invest in spells or items which can cast them.
If there is a certain material needed to hurt a monster, weapons of lower quality will not do any harm to the monster, even in case they are enchanted. When it comes to weapons, only the material is crucial, not whether it is an enchanted weapon (unlike in Morrowind or Oblivion).
Humanoid enemies and some monsters are associated with a language skill which may prevent them from attacking you unless provoked (attacked or pickpocketed) in case your own skill in this language is sufficient.
The chance to tame these enemies can be calculated according to these formulas:
Monsters:
(player's language skill + (player's personality ÷ 10) + weapon status) ÷ 200
Humanoids:
( (player's personality ÷ 5) + (player's etiquette skill ÷ 10) + weapon status ) ÷ 200
- Weapon status: +10 sheathed, -25 drawn
The sound file contains the monster's characteristic noise. Very often a monster can be heard long before it can be seen, so recognizing the sounds can prepare you for what awaits you in a dark dungeon. It will also make the task of finding your quest target a lot easier.

Animals

Animals do not carry any treasure, though you may still retrieve arrows from their corpses. No special materials are required to harm animals.

Monsters

Monsters are fantastic creatures with various magical abilities, ranging from magical attacks to various magical resistances, and may require special materials to harm. Some have an associated language skill. Also, unlike animals, you can usually find some treasure on them.

Spriggans in the Bloodmoon expansion to Morrowind and the Spriggans in Oblivion have a different look, closer to traditional dryads.

Humanoids

Other humanoid foes can be encountered throughout the Iliac Bay. They always have the same level as the player and they can be fairly dangerous at higher levels. If the player's character rises in level during a quest or while in a dungeon, humanoid foes that are already set-up, be it as quest adversaries or as dungeon inhabitants, will not rise in level. They will remain on the same level the player was when he accepted the quest e.g. entered the dungeon. Like orcs, they carry equipment and fall into three categories:

Warriors: Heavily armored, use ranged attacks.
Mages: Cast spells. Spell reflection/resistance/absorption advised.
Thieves: Lightly armored. Often attack rapidly, use ranged attacks.

Spells humanoid spellcasters can use

The following table shows the spells that are used by humanoid spellcasters. These spells depend on the level of the spellcaster and as it was already mentioned above, humanoid foes have always the same level as the player's character. It must be noted, that all spellcasters cast the same spells, regardless to which class they belong.

Level	1 - 2	3 - 5	6 - 8	9 - 11	12 - 14	15 - 17	18 and higher
Spells	Ice Bolt Ice Storm	Lightning Silence Spell Shield	Fire Storm Invisibility Lightning Spell Shield Wizard's Fire	Paralysis Shock	Balyna's Antidote Energy Leech Fireball Free Action Shock	Balyna's Antidote Fireball Free Action Shock Wizard Rend	Balyna's Antidote Fireball Free Action Lightning Shock Toxic Cloud Wizard Rend

The total amount of spellpoints any enemy, including monsters, has available is calculated as follows:

100 + (Enemy's level × 10)

Orcs

Hailing from Orsinium, these warriors can be found across the Iliac Bay. Like humanoids, their spoils include a good deal of equipment.

Lycanthropes

Lycanthropes seen in the Iliac Bay area are all either werewolves or wereboars. At least silver is needed to harm them, though they're not exceptionally dangerous (compared to werewolves in Bloodmoon) and carry no treasure. However, be advised that there is a risk of contracting lycanthropy from combat.

Adrenaline rush	If you don't wish to become a werewolf, ranged weapons are preferable. Higher levels can dispatch quickly with melee attack.

Atronachs

Unlike in Morrowind and Oblivion, the atronachs in Daggerfall are not daedra, but rather constructs created by mages in the Iliac Bay area. Though they can be hit by any material, they're tied to a certain element. Lastly, they carry no treasure. Ice Atronachs can also be found underwater.

Can be hit with any material. Immune to paralysis, poison, fire and disease. Low tolerance to frost. Adrenaline rush. Takes damage in holy places. Regenerates HP in darkness. Bonus to hit humanoids.	Some people may never experience this 'damage aura' so you can usually use a melee attack. Lower levels wishing to avoid melee may use cold based spells. These should not be confused with Fire Daedra, nor with Flame Atronachs from Morrowind and Oblivion.
Flesh Atronach (Golem)	Flesh Atronach	Sound	25-130	6	5-15	Level:16 Spellpoints:0 Str:125 Int:78 Wil:80 Agi:90 End:95 Per:69 Spd:61 Lck:55	Damage Aura(1-10) Poison based spells heal it.

Some people may never experience this 'damage aura'^{[verification needed — Could someone check if this actually works or not?]} so you can usually use a melee attack. Lower levels wishing to avoid melee may use electricity based spells. These should not be confused with zombies, nor with daedra such as the Atronachs in Morrowind and Oblivion.

Lower levels wishing to avoid melee may use poison based spells. These should not be confused Dwemer Centurions as found in Redguard and Morrowind, nor with Sotha Sil's Fabricants from the Tribunal expansion to Morrowind.

Air Atronach	These monsters don't actually exist in the game, although you can find their souls in Soul Gems. Most likely the names of the four atronachs were changed at some point in the development process and some names were forgotten and left as they were.
Earth Atronach
Water Atronach

Undead

Undead creatures consist of spirits, reanimated skeletons, reanimated corpses, and vampires. They're a recurring menace in dungeons, and some can be very dangerous. Most undead are able to detect invisible foes. Ghosts, Skeleton Warriors, Wraiths and Zombies are also often found underwater.

Name	Appearance	Sound	HP	AC	DMG	Statistics	Abilities	Fighting Strategies
Ancient Lich ¹ ²	Ancient Lich	Sound	30-170	-12	70-100	Level:21 Spellpoints:310 Str:110 Int:200 Wil:95 Agi:90 End:95 Per:50 Spd:100 Lck:50	Casts: Balyna's Antidote Fireball Free Action Lightning Shock Toxic Cloud Wizard Rend Can be hit with mithril or better	One of the most dangerous monsters in the game where spell reflection/resistance/absorption is a definite must. It can easily kill you if you aren't prepared. Probably best attacked with ranged weapons or have plenty of heals although beware ranged attacks. It sometimes uses area affect damage spells too close and harms or kills itself.

One of those monsters where spell reflection/resistance/absorption is a definite must. It can easily kill you if you aren't prepared.

Can be hit with silver or better. Immune to poison and disease. Takes damage from sunlight and in holy places. Bonus to hit humanoids.	Spell reflection/resistance/absorption and ranged weapons. Avoid melee except at higher levels.
Vampire Ancient ⁺	Vampire Ancient	Sound	30-170	-5	20-60	Level:20 Spellpoints:300 Str:120 Int:90 Wil:80 Agi:90 End:95 Per:100 Spd:120 Lck:50	Casts: Paralysis Shock 2% Chance per hit of catching a disease. 0.6% Chance per hit of becoming a vampire. Can be hit with mithril or better. Immune to paralysis, poison and disease. Adrenaline rush. Regenerates HP in darkness. Takes damage in holy places. Bonus to hit humanoids.	Probably the most dangerous foe in the game for two reasons: Unlike Ancient Liches and Daedra Lords he appears very frequently at higher levels. Unlike Ancient Liches and Daedra Lords he has no ranged spells and therefore can't blast himself into obivion with his own attacks. Spell reflection is a life saver, but shock or magic resistance helps also greatly and plenty of healing spells are recommended, provided one has the chance to use them. Ranged weapons are almost useless since he is very fast and before the player has reloaded his weapon, he is within close-combat range. Spell absorption helps also less, unless one has a lot of empty magicka which can be restored by the shock spells, and these attacks are quite powerful. Players with a capacity of at most 50 magicka will probably not absorb even a single shock spell before it causes damage. On the other hand if one has a powerful reflect spell, he will kill himself easily with his own shock attacks. And although he is immune to paralysis, he can be paralyzed if his own spell is refelcted back at him, making him an easy target.
Wraith ¹ ² ⁺	Wraith	Sound	30-90	0	20-45	Level:15 Spellpoints:250 Str:100 Int:10 Wil:30 Agi:80 End:95 Per:50 Spd:85 Lck:50	Casts: Far Silence Lightning Can be hit with silver or better. Resistance to magic.	Wraiths can do massive damage in melee, and so it is recommended to use ranged attacks, except at higher levels where they can be easily killed.
Zombie	Zombie	Sound	52-66	0	15-50	Level:10 Spellpoints:0 Str:140 Int:50 Wil:90 Agi:80 End:100 Per:50 Spd:70 Lck:50	2% Chance per hit of catching a bad disease. Can be hit with any material.	Use ranged weapons to avoid disease. They should not be confused with the Flesh Atronach, nor with the Ash Zombies of Morrowind.

Daedra

Otherworldly beings from Oblivion. They are fairly challenging adversaries, and can only be harmed by mithril or greater. All daedra can detect invisible foes.

Name	Appearance	Sound	HP	AC	DMG	Statistics	Abilities	Fighting Strategies
Daedra Lord * ⁺	Daedra Lord	Sound	35-210	-10	15-50	Level:20 Spellpoints:300 Str:150 Int:110 Wil:70 Agi:100 End:95 Per:90 Spd:120 Lck:50	Casts: Balyna's Antidote Energy Leech Fireball Free Action Shock Can be hit with mithril and better. Immune to paralysis, poison and disease. Regenerates health (general). Takes damage in holy places.	One of the most dangerous foes in the game with formidable fighting abilities in close-combat. Close in quickly to prevent him from using magic too frequently, and backpedal after striking him to avoid his attacks. Spell reflection/resistance/absorption is a must especially during fights from the distance, for he will use his area effect fireball spell. He sometimes uses this spell too close and harms or disembodies himself. Interestingly, the Dremora in Battlespire use the same sound and a similar graphic. A Daedra Lord can thus be considered to be actually a Dremora.
Daedra Seducer * ⁺	Daedra Seducer	Sound	27-146	1	15-50	Level:19 Spellpoints:290 Str:150 Int:60 Wil:70 Agi:100 End:95 Per:120 Spd:70 Lck:50	Casts: Energy Leech Vampiric Touch Can be hit with mithril and better.

Immune to fire.	Close in quickly to prevent the casting of a spell. Spell reflection/resistance/absorption used with cold based offensive spells. These fire daedra, though slightly different in appearance, may correspond to the Flame Atronach seen in Morrowind and Oblivion. Do not confuse these with fire atronachs.
Frost Daedra ¹ ² * ⁺	Frost Daedra	Sound	25-130	-5	50-100	Level:17 Spellpoints:270 Str:120 Int:80 Wil:30 Agi:80 End:95 Per:90 Spd:95 Lck:50	Casts: Ice Bolt Ice Storm Can be hit with mithril and better. Immune to frost.	Close in quickly to prevent the casting of a spell. Spell reflection/resistance/absorption used with fire based offensive spells. These frost daedra, though slightly different in appearance, may correspond to the Frost Atronach seen in Morrowind and Oblivion. Do not confuse these with ice atronachs.
Lesser Daedra (Daedroth) * ⁺	Lesser Daedra	Sound	27-146	1	15-50	Level:18 Spellpoints:280 Str:150 Int:110 Wil:70 Agi:100 End:95 Per:90 Spd:100 Lck:50	Casts: Lightning Silence Spell Shield Can be hit with mithril and better.	Close in quickly to prevent the casting of a spell, spell reflection/resistance/absorption is helpful. Daedroths are especially dangerous for spellcasters, once they are silenced they are in most cases inferior in close-combat, which will result in a quick death. It should be noted that these Daedroths, unlike the ones in Morrowind and Oblivion, wear armor and use weapons.
