I was just thinking to make a new creature (not animals)

perhaps, a http://www.scoutscan.com/ogre.jpg, and place him on an hill in Solstheim,

or a http://www.veltd.net/32mm/VEL1083a.jpg who lives in a http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n83C4-mITAg/TcWJ2PLJOuI/AAAAAAAAACw/dkm9zRbliS0/s1600/castle%2Bon%2Bthe%2Bcloud.jpg,
Maybe, during a storm he's lost his spear somewhere in the sheogorad area, and now he wants it back. A little argonian with a big head has found it and he's not going to give it back..,

or...[insert your creature here]

I've always wanted a decent http://www.critical-hits.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/beholders.jpg or some sort ofhttp://images.community.wizards.com/community.wizards.com/user/mouthymerc/large/07fc31db77393521de40bbe100d91daa.jpg?v=145800

Greetings, Arcimaestro Anteres

Since you have been so kind as to ask for End-User input [love your recent "Trolls" and "Treants, by the way - shameless svck-up], there are two critters I'd really like to see in Morrowind:

1. Kobolds -- those pesky little humanoids from the AD&D world, perfect for mysterious caves. I've cobbled-up some for my own use, from resources available, but you could do a much better job, and truer to the AD&D originals.

2. The Balrog -- from "Lord of the Rings." Someone was making a very nice version, for CON2, but it was never released (as far as I know). Again, I made something for myself, but yours would most definitely be infinitely better.

[And yes, a "Beholder" would be very nice also]

Thanks for asking.

I've seen a beholder somewhere...was it Wizard's Island? or maybe the Black Mill? It's been awhile. It was somewhere deep underground.

Edit: What about the giants in GIANTS? As I recall they had collision issues, but it might be a place to look for inspiration. And the frost giants in Wizard's Island were super cool - they had whips!

there are beholders out there already but the models are low grade adn the animations svck

I like the Hill Giant Idea best, I think that would be awesome!

What about a version of the dwemer centurion based on the one we saw in Skyrim? It's upgraded so much, you might as well call it a new creature.

A swamp troll or some type of lizard like creature for the bitter coast. There is also some cool deadra creatures in oblivion that you could remake.

Much as I'd love be creeping around some deep underground system of almost pitch-black tunnels, where about the only light is coming from Trueflame, and run right into a big-ass beholder, there's another creature that I could really use for an upcoming mod. It's of my own design though, and I would have to discuss it's details through PMs, for sake of surprise. If you're interested in that, Antares, let me know.

If not, my vote is for beholders.

I dont really want any new creatures in morrowind except those that were detailed by books to be precisely from Morrowind.

Id rather have new models for the existing creatures, NPCs, or statics in Morrowind. (More mesh replacers please!)

What about http://images.uesp.net/a/a4/BS-Monster-Morphoid_Daedra.jpg?

+1 vote for the Morphoid.

i'd like to request dragonlings, harpies, those atronachs from daggerfall, a wraith, and a zombie!

Too many creatures!
Dragonlings: No
Harpies: http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=2945
Atronachs: http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=7213
Wraith: http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=6616
Zombies: http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=6616

Perhaps a dracolich? We could use some high-level undead foes... Or some flesh atronachs, http://images.uesp.net/9/9d/SI-creature-Flesh_Atronach_11b60.jpg? Though I also wouldn't mind seeing a http://images.uesp.net/d/d4/SI-creature-Gatekeeper.jpg... Or an undead which would be clearly pieced together from various bones - http://images.uesp.net/7/7b/SI-creature-Shambles_12009.jpg.

I wouldn't mind seeing some sort of mammals. I find it odd that humans (and possibly the mer) seem to be the only mammals in Morrowind. I'm not talking dogs, cats, squirrels, birds, sea mammals, or livestock, there are already wonderful versions of those, but larger wild mammals. There couldn't be a book called "The Pig Children" if there weren't at one time pigs, and pigs are a domesticated version of wild boars. I understand Vvardenfell is an island, but the waterway between it and the mainland isn't so wide that *nothing* could have swum across it. That's barring natural geographic changes and accidental imports by boat as well.

I don't think apes or big cats would be out of the question, since we have humans and khajiit. Nor would other lizards more closely related to Argonians. After all, there are mammals all over Solstheim. What did mer evolve from anyway? I'm just saying, I hope you don't limit yourself to considering strictly-from-lore or only tried-and-true fantasy genre beasts.

That said, I like the idea of giants, but I'd rather see them two or three times normal size rather than the size of the Seyda Neen Lighthouse.

I appreciate your input, Malek, and you quoting my entire post was very nice, since the part I said about the giants might have been missed otherwise. However, despite AA mentioning he wasn't thinking about animals, my suggestions might still be worthy of consideration. I mean, rather than a big floating eyeball everyone has seen a million times in as many different games, how about a were-cat? Wouldn't it be nice if folks focused a little more on using their imaginations and encouraging others rather than attempting to shut people down for maybe suggesting something outside the lines. I'm sure that if AA were bothered by my suggestion of mammals, he would have reminded me of that stipulation himself.

maybe a living version of ald-skar (the giant crab) in ald-ruhn

I love your idea Elaura! Maybe even a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kentucky_thoroughblades.png....

That would be the scariest thing to ever run into in Morrowind.

And ten times scarier to attempt to implement.

Wonder if there's a mod that adds more of those behemoth shells. You'd think there'd be more than one left...

I have two suggestions, both based on the Morrowind concept art:

1) I guess these count as animals, but there are several http://www.imperial-library.info/sites/default/files/gallery_files/mw_TAoM_p40.jpg http://www.imperial-library.info/sites/default/files/imagecache/node-gallery-display/gallery_files/mw_TAoM_p06.jpg that would be cool to see implemented. With regards to that guar concept, I've heart Rotumbo floated around as an alternate name for it, which seems to fit, somehow.

2) My other suggestion would be to make, as a non-hostile creature, a http://www.imperial-library.info/sites/default/files/imagecache/node-gallery-display/gallery_files/mw_TAoM_p30.jpg http://www.imperial-library.info/sites/default/files/imagecache/node-gallery-display/gallery_files/mw_TAoM_p31.jpg Those cocoons they somehow fit into would be extremely difficult to implement as a clothing item, but maybe less so as a creature.

I agree with Saint_Jiub more creatures from the lore would be welcome

I may have come off as rude with no additional input aside from direct quotes to shape my context and I will apologize to whatever degree it is deserved. However, when a person asks for ideas or requests with a specific criteria (i.e. non-animals), doesn't it seem a bit rude itself to make suggestions that go against them? Pretentious even, that claiming something someone has stated not being interested in currently doing might change their mind for your suggestion in the precise thread? Regardless, I agree that we should indeed attempt to bring focus to more imaginative creatures and ideas as that is the sort of thing this forum is made for.
Which leads me to a new suggestion, I remember finding these drawings and thinking it would be worth exploring for Bloodmoon mods, though I imagine making even one creature takes great time so even if you were to just choose one I would be more than content. The http://xerxan.deviantart.com/art/The-Rantinox-76970256?q=gallery%3Axerxan%2F2418260&qo=7 and the http://xerxan.deviantart.com/art/the-Bro-torg-91981813?q=gallery%3Axerxan%2F2418260&qo=3. Ultimately it is up to you on what you decide to make and there are http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_D_Z-D2tzi14/S8TRIo4br3I/AAAAAAAACv4/Zh7_GcMlRKo/s1600/ALOT.png of very good ideas buzzing around this thread already, in the end, I am just excited that you are making something new at all.

Is this what everybody is talking about?

Westly already made one. It's in his WIP Melisande's Menagerie.
