Minotaurs and Mythical Creatures

Post » Wed May 02, 2012 8:01 am

Just a question... Is it possible that Morihaus was... a Dragon? I was surprised that Merry Eyesore the Elk wrote "Mor" instead of "Morihaus", but it draw my attention to the fact that now we know that Ysgramor was a Dragon, we also know that Mor is a Word of Power.

So... MOR IH AUS ?

If the Minotaurs (or Moritaurs, if you prefer, haha) are the progeny of a Dragon, they'd become suddenly much more interesting, and their bestial nature :tongue: (or lack of power) would be also much more mysterious.

Off-topic : do you think that some Minotaurs wear enchanted nose rings?

EDIT: I added Nirnroots to the list of changed species in my post above.

To be fair, maany mythological name in TES can be separated in three parts and look like a T'hum. DIh BEh LAh, etc..
To be fair about my "to be fair" few of those names have a known translation in the dragon language.

Remember how it was said that every monster in the world came from a Wild Hunt? I assume that unless stated otherwise, most monstrous creatures are either natural beasts of Kyne or descendants of the Wild Hunters.

Also in the Song of Pelinal Pelinal warns Morihaus against coupling with Alessia, due to begetting monsters. Now, Morihaus's descendants are the minotaurs. So, I wonder what, say, Pelinals children would be?

Indeed, I googled it and, err... realized what I said... :blush:

Look on the [scorchingly] bright side: You now know what St. Alessia's kink was; have fun with that. :yuck:
