But do walruses exist in the Elder Scrolls universe? And no I don't mean horkers I mean actual walruses, like potentially they would be the cousin to do the horker. Also on topic of animals and creatures is there any lore to the possibility that griffins, cyclopses and other mythical creatures might come into future titles? Thanks for answering and please be kind to a lore noob.

There's no such thing as a stupid question friend.

I remember Minotaur's in oblivion but, I've never heard anything about those other creatures, would be cool to see them~.

According to the Skyrim artbook, the Horkers from Bloodmoon and Skyrim are actually two seperate species, and the Nords call any sea mammal a horker. I guess that means that if normal walruses existed, they would be called horkers as well.

A few standard mythological creatures were in Arena and Daggerfall, IIRC. Centaurs and harpies and whatnot.
