Faded Wraith
Falmer
The Falmer are blind, corrupted descendants of the ancient Snow Elves that live deep beneath the surface of Skyrim. They are known to stalk and attack intruders in various underground areas, primarily Dwemer ruins. Adventurers can often quickly tell when the Falmer inhabit a place thanks to their odor, which is said to be repulsive. They have been known to come up to the surface to attack the unwary. They are roughly man-sized, but hunched over and "ugly", resembling creatures of goblin-kind than their own Mer ancestors. They have no noses, only long slits for nostrils. Their ears are distinctly pointed, their skin pallid, and their eyes lifeless and black.
Much as "High Elf" and "Wood Elf" are interchangeable terms for "Altmer" and "Bosmer" respectively, "Snow Elf" is really just another term for "Falmer". The Snow Elves were a proud and prosperous race of mer who occupied a portion of modern-day Skyrim until they were displaced by the invading Nords. Many of the ancient Snow Elves were betrayed in a deal for asylum they struck with the Dwemer. The Dwemer forced their wards to subsist only on toxic fungi which twisted them into sightless slaves. It's the descendants of these slaves who many of the people of Tamriel have come to know as the Falmer, while their grand ancestors are remembered as Snow Elves. The Falmer were able to adapt to life underground, but have lost the sophistication the Snow Elves exhibited. For garments, they wear only rags and leathers. They live in tents and huts, employ traps to guard their territory, keep chaurus as livestock, and utilize roughly-made weaponry and tools. Some still demonstrate an aptitude for magic.
Few know that an unknown number of Snow Elves rejected the Dwemer's deal and went into hiding, or that some of them survived, uncorrupted, into modern times. Knight-Paladin Gelebor of the Chantry of Auri-El, the only known Snow Elf still alive today, embraced the distinction between "Falmer" and "Snow Elf" due to the negative connotations "Falmer" had taken on amongst travelers over the millennia, but he personally knew his fallen brethren as the Betrayed.

Fire Atronach
The Fire Atronach is a magical, fire-enchanted golem. It is advised to use cold based spells when attacking one, as any fire spells actually heal the creature instead of damaging it. Be careful not to approach too closely, as it gives off great heat which can damage an adventurer if they get too close. The Fire Atronach should not be confused with the Flame Atronach, which is a daedra rather than a golem.
Found in:
Fire Daedra
This Elemental Daedra is one of the more mundane, but dangerous, daedra from Oblivion. Slightly intelligent with some spell casting abilities, it can only be harmed by mithril or better weapons and is greatly resistant to fire based spells. See also: Flame Atronach.

Found in:
Flame Atronach
A powerful Fire Elemental Daedra native to a pocket realm of Oblivion called Infernace. Believed to be the inverse of Cold-Flame Atronachs, they are often summoned by conjurers or hunted as a source of Fire Salts. It should not be confused with the Fire Atronach, which is a golem rather than a Daedra. See also: Fire Daedra
Found in:
Fleshflies
Fleshflies are blood-colored, sand-grain-sized insects that feed on human flesh, deforming the faces of those unlucky enough to be caught by their swarms. They can be found in the Black Marsh and southeastern Cyrodiil.
Found in:
Flesh Atronach
This flesh enchanted golem is a powerful foe which damages opponents if they get too close. A Flesh Atronach supposedly serves as an animated flesh shell for the spirits/souls of other Daedra, and appears as a sewn-together conglomeration of skin and muscle adorned with mystical symbols, wearing an iron collar. Flesh Atronachs have multiple orbs/gems on their bodies, the color of which depends upon the variety of Flesh Atronach. They are healed by poison and their magicka increases if hit by spells.
It is hinted that they were created by Relmyna Verenim after her discovery of the "Flesh" element, however some reports indicate otherwise.

Fox
Foxes are small, non-aggressive creatures found in the wilderness, often seen chasing rabbits and will usually run away when spotted. Some are kept as pets by Skyrim's inhabitants. Their pelts are often sold by hunters. Snow foxes can be encountered in the colder regions of Skyrim. A fox is one of the many animals carved into puzzles in the Nordic ruins. Shor is often depicted as a fox.

Frost Atronach
This powerful Elemental Daedra not only causes damage with its vicious physical attacks, but also from the extreme cold aura it generates, which makes it immune to cold-based spells. Frost Atronachs can be summoned by mages, and are often hunted as a source of Frost Salts. It should not be confused with the Ice Atronach, which is a golem rather than a daedra. See also: Frost Daedra.

Frost Mare

Found in:
Frost Troll
Trolls are large, ape-like humanoids endowed with three eyes. Their powerful arms and claws deal massive physical damage. Trolls are also very strong defensively, possessing a particularly effective ability to quickly and fully regenerate health. Their greatest vulnerability is to fire, which not only damages them, but also impairs their capacity to self-heal. Frost Trolls are stronger variants of the generic Trolls, often found in the higher elevations of Skyrim.
Found in:
Frostbite Spider
Frostbite Spiders are giant arachnids native to Skyrim. They can be found in their underground nests, or roaming the wilderness. Their lairs are often covered in webs, which can cause obstructions. They spit poisonous venom at their prey from a distance, and leap at them to attack with pincers if they get too close. Frostbite Venom is often harvested from the spiders for use as a poison. Spider Eggs can be taken from the sacs in their web for use in alchemy.
