NON-COMBAT PETS
|
The Abecean Ratter is famed from Hegathe to Woodhearth as a prime rodent-catcher. |
|
"The cubs trained into steeds by the Potentate in 2E 23 proved so successful that this practice continues today. Seeing one melted my heart—that tail tassel! In their training barding, they walk through Leyawiin's streets each week."—Mirannah of Gwylim |
|
"The Potentate first mounted up on guar steeds in 2E 27 under the Red Mountain's shadow, but they trained guar calves to the saddle just outside Mournhold. One barded calf demanded nose-pats from me when I visited—I couldn't resist."—Mirannah of Gwylim |
|
"In 2E 5, companies using the new enchanted barding designed by Versidue-Shaie's battlemages received their orders: hunt and kill Reman loyalists. Though initially only horses, ponies and more earned the special barding and training."—Mirannah of Gwylim |
|
"Before heading to Skyrim in 2E 7, the Potentate had to train sabre cat cubs to the saddle. Watching these cubs pounce while wearing their training barding all these many years later almost made me lose my composure and squeal."—Mirannah of Gwylim |
|
"Talking with the trainers of the wolf riders that Versidue-Shaie established in 2E 4 allowed me to see the armored pups at play. I adored how they bonelessly stretched on the ground. Hard to believe they grow to be so fierce!"—Mirannah of Gwylim |
|
Need some happiness in your day? The Alabaster Jerboa is your answer. Its hopping and air-dancing acrobatics can bring a smile to even the grumpiest Dark Elf. |
|
The Dune-Hound is the loyal dog of the Redguard hunters of the Alik'r. |
|
"Cute little thing, isn't it? 'Course, what I care about is that a Ringtail, properly trained, can get into places no one else can, and carry out small items in their cheek pouches. Lost goods, as it were, or misplaced valuables. Right?" —Fenaanaral |
|
War Dogs can be found in the armies of all three Alliances, mainly in the capacity of aides to the military police. They are as loyal to their masters as they are savage to their enemies. (Appearance is specific to your character's alliance.) |
|
"My notes indicate these vibrantly hued watchers once inhabited the ruins of Zaintiraris until an unfortunate explorer set them free. Given their color and origin, I suspect Sheogorath holds some sway over them. Also unfortunate."—Warlock Aldaale |
|
Native to the upper Ashlands and the slopes of Red Mountain, the perky Amber Ash Hopper is a favorite pet of Dunmer expatriates, as it's relatively low maintenance (it digs its own hole in the ground), and it reminds the Dark Elves of home. |
|
Its amber-gold glimmer creates a warmth that one stablemaster states, "Can get you through chilly nights under the Skyrim stars." All it takes to keep one of these vale fawns at your side is a lick of honey now and again. |
|
"The Ancestor Moths that accompany some mystically-attuned mortals are more than mere insects—they are animated by the loving spirits of the dearly departed, and may grant wisdom and awareness to those they visit." —Sister Terran Arminus |
|
This wolf senses the impending arrival of Dragons, making it an excellent pet for veteran Dragon Hunters. |
|
With this loyal dog at your side, you have a companion who can help you make it through even the most treacherous of avalanches in Pale Pass and other mountainous areas even if it has to pull you out from under a pile of fallen snow and detritus. |
|
The Arctic Fennec is native to the snowy shores of Skyrim's Sea of Ghosts, and the local Nords, when they spot one romping in the drifts, respond with the traditional oath of "Shor's Ears!" |
|
This bluish breed of Vvardenfell aerial reptile, known as the Azure or Ascadian Cliff Strider, is prized by flying-lizard fanciers as the prettiest and most ornamental of its species. Bonus: its screech terrifies crying babies into silence. |
|
Legends claim the Red Mountain's first eruption not only gave brown sheep their current hue, but also imbued them with the fortitude to thrive despite hardship. Knowing their sheep remain placid while in danger, many Dark Elves believe these tales. |

"The Jerboas, you say? Ah, yes, the little jumping skeevers with the so-big ears. There are many in the Ashen Scar, and if you catch one when it's small, it makes for a pleasant, fuzzy friend. I had one when I was a kitten!" —Shuzirri of Riverhold |
|
"A fur-less, cold-blooded reptile with icy blue eyes that comes from the frozen, far-north, and in-all-likelihood legendary continent of Atmora? Bah. I refuse to believe it." —Phrastus of Elinhir |
|
According to Nord legend, in its native land of Atmora this Chub Loon is much larger, as tall as two warriors and with a squawk that starts avalanches. It took mighty Ysgramor a day and a night to wrestle one down from Shivering Glacier. What, you doubt? |
|
When a cub, the young Atmoran Snow Bear is a lap-clambering cuddle bug, a friendly fuzzball whose demeanor is completely at odds with the fierce reputation of adult Snow Bears. Enjoy them while they're still small! |
|
The Gryphons that nest on the highest pinnacles of Eton Nir, the tallest mountain on Summerset, have a distinctive bluish tint to their plumage. Some sapiarchs call this sky-blue camouflage, but the Priests of Auri-El see in it a touch of the Divine. |
