Every single atronach in the Elder scrolls bears a similarity to the head, like an upward flame.

I've gotta say that the old man with the beard almost looks like a God. Bring on the Norse Pantheon. The first pic that was found looks like a daedra to me based off its armor. Like the idea that it has something to do with Dragon Priests though

[Helen Quill]

leading theories proposed by only one person [possible]
- falmer

Huzzah, my theory is gaining ground.

Would you rule out Dragon Priest mainly because http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8613775/ebay%20pics/DA2%20screens/New%20Skyrim%20Screen.jpg?__sf=1303442967 has weird ears and no beard, unlike the http://cms.elderscrolls.com/sites/default/files/tes/screenshots/DraugrGroup_wLegal.jpg?

Yep. Its coloration and facial structure are also different. I wouldn't mind if it was a Dragon Priest, though.

"Spider Hero" belongs to a different screenshot - the one of the hero battling the spider.

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

leading theories proposed by only one person [possible]
- falmer

less likely theories proposed by only one person [possible]
- Dragon Priest
- wood elf
- ice vampire
- orc's grandmother
- Dwemer
- Atronach

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

I have a hard time believing Falmer because hes not blue....

[Charity Hughes]

yall who keep chasing this "only one person" theory have been trolled.

[kristy dunn]

I have a hard time believing Falmer because hes not blue....

He is greyish blue..

[Justin]

Okay everyone drop the ''spider theory'' cuz it ain't it.

[Harry Hearing]

Did I say it was a scamp? No, I said I think it's a scamp. And that's my final answer.

Did I say that you said it was a scamp? No, I just fixed your post. Calm down, amigo.

That was 40 minutes ago, get a watch.

There is no definitive evidence that the Falmer are blue, though. Their connection to reiklings and the "ice warriors" of shadowkey is only a guess.

[Chris Jones]

i think that it is either a goblin or a scamp. its not a falmer because it is not blue

[Suzie Dalziel]

who keeps posting the third thread this ones not filled yet :facepalm:

[Eileen Müller]

Thread is full, I posted new topic unless I was ninja'd

[Silencio]

He is greyish blue..

Hes definately tannish-green.

[Ebou Suso]

i still think spider lord cause his looks not the title it had

[Wanda Maximoff]

Has anyone said Herne? Or perhaps Perthan (that's the male spider daedra from Battlespire, right)? I haven't noticed them and the two unidentified images brought up those Daedra to mind.

[TOYA toys]

If that is a woodelf, someone needs to be sacrificed to Sithis.

Agreed. bliviongate:

[Destinyscharm]

Here's another thought: the ice vampire hypothesis and the Falmer hypothesis are the same hypothesis. The Falmer turned into ice vampires.

:o

[El Khatiri]

Guys, atronachs. It's right in yo faces!

[Darren Chandler]

made 2nd thread because the first one is full. Discuss away.

My representation of the picture is that it is a Spider Priests or Spider Cowl.

reword the topic..i don't see an oops...sounds like a personal problem...i don't need negativity...i'm gonna play anyway
won't even read what you gotta say

[CArla HOlbert]

Thread is full, I posted new topic unless I was ninja'd

woah, double post. wierd sorry

[Miss K]

This reminds me of the Game Informer hub update threads. Good times.

[Kate Schofield]

Of course, y'all could've gone to the Elder Scrolls site, click on the icon to get a much larger image, and read the label that says "Spider Hero"..

.. but no, 2 threads of speculation for the win.

There is no definitive evidence that the Falmer are blue, though. Their connection to reiklings and the "ice warriors" of shadowkey is only a guess.

When I think of Falmer I see an image of non-smurfish Rieklings.

:o

but that's a hypothesis in its own right.
