They certainly have the same frown, but it's difficult to say for absolutely sure because of the mask. I'd say it's a possibility though.

[Shae Munro]

Do you think one of those is an ice vampire?

Yes, I do.

I'm sold. The mouth and nose are exactly the same. Slight variation in the ears, but they are similar enough to safely assume they're the same creature.

Now we just need to figure out what it is...

Nose and mouth im going by pretty much the same.

the second one looks like some orcs grandmother :confused: the first one actually has a nose

[Melung Chan]

one thing your forgetting me lad orcs are elves i sense our man vsions is in charge of the elven races

Hmmm, perhaps this thread piqued his interest because it was a picture of an elf that he himself created- which would in turn back up my Wood Elf proposition!

[Marcus Jordan]

Their mouths look similar.

My thoughts too

[Guy Pearce]

They are the same creature for sure. Same mouth, same ears, same distinct nose. Doesn't help us much, though, besides ruling out already obviously wrong answers.

Again, the "spider hero" label belongs to a different screenshot. Its also unlikely that it is a dragon priest, since those were Nords according to the articles.

[Jack Moves]

OK, here is where we are at this point in our speculation:

theories espoused by several people [ruled out]
- no Argonian
- no goblin
- no "spider hero"

theories proposed by only one person [possible]
- scamp (was it 1 person or several people who said it was a scamp?)
- Dragon Priest
- wood elf
- ice vampire
- orc's grandmother

any more I am missing?

[Marlo Stanfield]

Has we run out of air yet??...2 hourz til g4tv...maybe the viel will be lifted then

[daniel royle]

My thoughts too

They do look the same, but it doesn't change the fact that we have no idea what either picture is.

[Erika Ellsworth]

any more I am missing?

I'm going to keep repeating Falmer until it turns out I'm right

[Laura]

Hmm... the "man" behind the Iron Mask?

TBH, looks like a freaking DEATHCLAW to me!

The head is extremely similar to an Atronach

[Tom]

I gonna guess and say it's probally a concept art of a falmer,and I'am sticking with my answer.

[Kelly James]

theories proposed by only one person [possible]
- scamp (was it 1 person or several people who said it was a scamp?)

I was the 1st to say Scamp

That is very interesting, and it immediately makes me strongly doubt that my Wood Elf theory is correct. It now appears that the crazy, glowing, green-eyed mask wearing chap is the same creature as the other picture.

[Emily Shackleton]

No, i was.

[carly mcdonough]

srry double post

[Marlo Stanfield]

Its also unlikely that it is a dragon priest, since those were Nords according to the articles.

According to the articles:

* A dungeon described as "Bleak Falls Barrow" is inhabited by Draugr--undead Nord warriors. Players can expect to encounter a ghostly dragon priest and fight a giant Frostbite Spider. The dungeon has been described by Bethesda as "terrifying."

terrifying, ghostly humanoid living in a dungeon

[Theodore Walling]

The head is extremely similar to an Atronach

Thats an interesting stab at it, maybe right as well.

[jessica Villacis]

I FIGURED IT OUT.

ITS A DWEMER

/thread

(sarcasm)

[Mark Hepworth]

According to the articles:

I wouldn't describe that as ghostly, but sure. Still, the dragon priests are supposed to be Nords, and that thing is clearly not.

[Ricky Meehan]

Do we have any clues as wether its armor or part of the skin? If its armor then weeeeeeeeee but if its skin then it must be a variant on watever that ice like orc is

[ZzZz]

[Natalie J Webster]

if that where a atronach well i dont know. that would be interesting hopefully it would flare up before battle

[Emilie Joseph]

This makes me wonder if anything in the series has crazy ears that aren't pointed, cause pointed ears are seeming to be the norm these days.
