The Groke : V - Skyrim

No. If Skyrim had that in it I wouldn't buy it.

:lol: that comment struck me as immensly hilarious for some reason, if it had that in it, it should have other folklore in it too, like those flying Japanese Snow Demons (can't remember what their called)

If anything of a "creepy" nature would be haunting the lands of Skyrim, I imagine it would be http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Opusculus_Lamae_Bal_ta_Mezzamortie

A savage woman likeness, on fire, brutally instilled with undeath by Molag Bal himself?......
.......
I think I prefer to face Alduin.

If the groke dressed up like a Jynx instead, perhaps I would be scared a little bit. Otherwise I just want to hug her and share some candies.

You would freeze to death, if you hug her.

For everyone who thinks The Groke isn't scary, http://www.thechestnut.com/moomins/groke.jpg.
As for Lamae Bal, holy Akatosh, she would be creepy indeed.

Ooookay...that's not scary either, just comical-looking. Like a platypus mask made of burlap by a school where all the students arrive on short buses. :shrug:

Yeah, thats not creepy. Looks like one of those trolls you buy in Gatlinburg. Then again, who gets scared or creeped out by a video-game?

Skyrim is The Elder Scrolls game and not a game about Scandinavian folklore or whatever. :yucky:

Tamriel, not Earth

That would be horribly scary! D:

I can remember that one scene from the cartoon series, where Sniff is going out from the Moominhouse and there's Groke next to him in the dark and you can only see she's teeth and eyes.
I almost [censored] my pants when I was little and saw that episode.

I remember that! My house as a child backed onto a forest, used to stare out of my bedroom window looking out for Groke before bedtime.

I've always said TES needs more Moomins.

You sir, I assume, have not played Amnesia or System Shock 2.

Amnesia :mohawk:

Ah yes- M?rk?

Sure is a creepy creature.

It would be cool to have it not as a generic enemy, but rather as a static spook.
And you can't to get close to it, as it draw further away as you are trying to approach it.
Like Will'O'Wisp or someting.

YES! HUFSA!

This thread is terrifying.

Oh yea m?rk? is scary and those who thinks that m?rk? isn't scary u might have heard the english groke.

See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuGp6ZoPSAs.

You sir, must never have played DeadSpace 2 at three in the morning, by yourself and with all the lights off.

Of course you have to LET yourself get scared. If you're purposely talking and making a joke of everything to keep tension from building or yourself from getting scared, then well.........We can't help you :wink_smile:

Poor Grimace

I think a bit of a redesign, even just removing the bill and making the face look less like a Wallace and Gromit character, could make is much more frightening. But then I guess it wouldn't be the same thing you grew up with.

Nah youre right. I think it would be okay.Just make the eyes like all white and make the her darker overall.

Dead space is nothing.Try Amnesia,Penumbra series or Cryostasis(Well that one is not so scary but creepy).

Hufsa you mean, my grandmother described her, but said she was also a hero for putting out forest fires.
