I'd like to see those vampires that hide under frozen lakes, I bet that could make for some awesome random boss encounters.

Uderfrytykes, draugr, grahl, frost giants like Karstaag, reiklings, horkers, snow bear/wolf, spriggans, naked nords (they're pretty beastly) and of course a lot of new ones that haven't been used.

lol, there is a your mom joke here.

I miss the Horker...
I expect to see some bear and other normal stuff like that, but as far as lore characters go? What was the name of that Snow Elf guy from that one book? I dont remember, but that would be a possibiility... unlikely, but possible.

In addition to some truly new and unique creatures, the Daedra and the occasional Bandits and Highwaymen i would like to see the following...

Horses
Deers (Elk, Red Deer, Roe Deer)
Foxes
Hares
Lynxes
Wolves
Bears (Brown Bear, Polar Bear)
Giant Eagles (asuming they will be less annoying than the Cliff-Racers)
Werewolves (and the option to become one)
Werebears (and the option to become one)
Vampires (including the ones unique to Skyrim and ofcause the the option to become one yourself like the Werecreatures)
Spriggans
Trolls
Horkers
Minotaurs (somekind of variant exclusive to Skyrim and other cold places)
Dreughs
Goblins
Will-o-the-Wisp (Why would i bring back the most annoying enemy since the Cliff-Racer? because i think it has potential, if implented right)
Grahl

Aurochs...basically a gigantic, pissed off cow. They are extinct now but ancient Europeans used to hunt them as a test of strength and bravery. Had huge, "lyre shaped" horns. Usually black with a tan stripe on the spine (in males.) Julius Caesar wrote about them, said they were the size of an elephant. He was probably comparing them to the now extinct but smaller than average North African elephant, and exaggerating, but the fact that he though to compare them at all means they were much larger than average cows. Nazi scientists tried to "breed them back" and came up with "Heck cattle," which look similar but are genetically and phenotypically different.

Looks like they also get shaggy in the winter http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4013/4411413319_f6f9c05c46.jpg
And an artist rendering of one fighting wolves, just in case http://www.boingboing.net/200904221257.jpg

And know i think about it, a few saber toothed tigers might not be a bad idea either... possible even with Bethesdas own unique take on it.

If there is going to be woolly mammoths, sabertooth tigers would make sense. Plus sabertooth tigers are just awesome.

The Auroch idea is similar to my Hildisvini idea.

J?rmungandr-like creatures inhabiting lakes and rivers

Einherjar-like creatures found in certain caves or ruins waiting for someone to defeat them in combat, they drop unique items.

Yeti: that can't be killed only subdued.

Troglodytic Protohumans: found only in the mountains. They're like ogres but larger and they move like the Trogs from FO3.
Fenrir
Banshees
Sloads :biggrin:

They have a lot of plants from this primary creation, yet they seem to avoid or twist things from it for their sub-creation. Either way, I'm interested in seeing what they add, I'd personally like to see more variety in the creatures they have used in previous games, like sub-races kind of. Remember the nixhounds, I'd like to see more variety in creatures like them. Terrier Nixhounds, and things like that, but with every creature.

A single cliff racer as a easter egg is fine with me but just as what the eff moment. Especially when your just strolling through the forest or better yet being attacked by a pack of wolves ;)
