:The {{Lore Link|Vvardenfell}} landscape undergoes a constant cycle of death and rebirth. {{Lore Link|Red Mountain}}'s lava flows, eruptions and ash-fall cause die-back in the deciduous woodlands and mushroom jungles, violent upheaval alters the landscape and buries (or exposes!) the fallen ruins of ancient civilizations. But the island expands as lava hardens, and new plants and fungi emerge from the cooling ashes amongst the formations of igneous rock.

:Plant life flourishes in the rich soil fertilized by volcanic activity, and so Vvardenfell is home to a diverse set of biomes.
:Fungi quickly absorb rich nutrients from the volcanic soil and grow to enormous proportions to dominate the landscape. The large '''{{Lore Link|Ink-Cap Mushroom}}s''' along the '''{{Lore Link|Bitter Coast}}''' thrive on the detritus of decaying swamp life, while smaller fungus varieties cover the rocks, trees and even some animals, such as the fungus-encrusted '''{{Lore Link|Shroom Beetle}}'''. Adorable!
:{{Lore Link|Balmora}}, in the southwest and inland from the '''Bitter Coast''', is still forested, though ash from Red Mountain eruptions threatens to denude the slopes.

:Though barren, The '''{{Lore Link|Ashlands}}''' host a remarkable number of species. '''{{Lore Link|Ash Hopper}}s''' skitter through the dry ash dunes and giant '''{{Lore Link|Xylaria}}''' fungi extend their tendrils into the sky. Travelers beware! Hungry, reptilian '''{{Lore Link|Cliff Strider}}s''' lurk atop the crags.
:'''{{Lore Link|Fetcherfly|Fetcherflies}}''' build their hives where they can tap volcanic heat to gestate their eggs. When they hatch, the queen taps a source of magma to animate the nest, and it transforms into a walking '''{{Lore Link|Hive Golem}}''' that relocates the swarm to new surroundings.

:'''{{Lore Link|Nix-Ox}}en''' roam the '''{{Lore Link|Grazelands}}''' in the northeastern part of the island, and though generally considered to be mild-mannered, they will not hesitate to defend their territory.
:Two-legged '''{{Lore Link|Vvardvark}}s''' romp through the grasses and feed on small bugs. Some people keep these delightful creatures as pets, despite the smell.
[[File:ON-concept-MW Hunger.jpg|thumb|left]]
:Ancestral Tombs dot the landscape, and powerful {{Lore Link|Daedra}} known as '''{{Lore Link|Hunger}}''', summoned as guardians, often lurk within.
:The largest mushrooms in {{Lore Link|Morrowind}} appear in '''{{Lore Link|Zafirbel Bay}}'''. This majestic species is cultivated by {{Lore Link|Telvanni}} wizards and take a wizard's lifetime (a thousand years) to grow. These fungus forests have a special ecology of their own—but that's a subject for another book.
