Morrowind Mod:Tamriel Rebuilt/Insects

The mainland of Morrowind is home to several species of insect, from the beautiful to the deadly. A full list of creatures can be found here.

Beetles

A Horned Beetle goes airborne

A Green Beetle on the beach

A Brown Beetle goes airborne

A Blue Beetle on the beach

Beetles typically spend their time on the ground, but will take to the air to attack. They are found throughout the Boethian Mountains and are hostile on sight. Beetles may be infected with the disease Collywobbles.

Flies

A Muskfly

The unique Swamp Fly

Flying insects that emit a buzzing noise as they move in to attack. These creatures are almost harmless on their own, but can be very annoying in a swarm. They are found almost exclusively in the Boethian Mountains Region, although the residents of Bal Oyra may disagree. Muskflies may be infected with the disease Ticklebritch.

The Swamp Fly is a unique creature found only in cell [36,2] of the Boethian Mountains. Its appearance is identical to that of a Muskfly

Parastyli

A Parastylus in a cave

The Parastylus arguably stretches the definition of "insect", as it seems to have eight legs rather than the requisite six. The front pair, however, seem to be more concerned with attack than locomotion and could be an evolutionary development along the lines of the Horned Beetle's horns.

In any case, parastyli are rare, being found only in Jenigan Cave, Shasharanit and Manabilu Grotto. Diseased variants may infect their victims with Bonebreak Fever, Red Death or Red Rage; diseased venomous parastytli are also infected with Blood Lung.
