just curious.. what is (are) their counterpart(s) in real life and/or myhology in general ?

this is my opinions:

race

nords = scandinavians
imperials = americans, british
bretons = british, french
redguards = africans
elves = tolkien elves
orcs = tolkien orcs ( or just pig-nosed-elves.. )

creatures/monsters

winged twilight = harpy
ogrim = troll
spider daedra = spider legged succubus
dagoth = dagoth ( dream god )
golden saints = valkyre (sort of )
draugr = mummy (sort of )

that's all i can think of at the moment
why dont you share your opinion regarding this matter ? ( i'm curious as what a scamp would be.. )

indulge me..
