#skeevers

[hurgablurg]

so was i just supposed to only learn about how amazing skeevers looked before bethesda-brand laziness kicked in by googling the buggers?

This is the original concept and concept art by Ray Lederer

AND OH MY GOD IT LOOKS LIKE AN ACTUAL SPECULATIVE ANIMAL

A unique species of rodent unlike the ones we are familiar with, but which is still quite visibly of the order rodentia / skeevera family!

And it was originally supposed to have healthy and diseased states!

But all we got were the diseased ones that make them all look like fucked up giant grey rats??

Disappointing! They couldn’t put in the extra effort of making them 2 separate npcs, for how often skeevers show up in the game?

Like, even the retexture mods (and Skritch) claiming to make them healthier still give them bare legs, bare bellies, lesions, and a boring, dull grey coat!

skeevers but instead of being left to rot in the wild they get taken in by the argonians at the windhelm docks. a skeever sitting in the folds of a large scarf draped around shahvee's neck, growling and snapping at anyone who even looks at her amulet. she slips it the fish that hop up onto the docks accidentally, and the scraps from her cooking. a skeever trailing in and out of scouts-many-marshes legs as he carries shipments back and forth.

skeevers but the nords train them alongside their hunting dogs. the skeevers can get into burrows and other small holes that the dogs just can't, and theyre amazing at chasing out smaller prey like rabbits. faster swimmers than dogs, too, so the fishers usually have a trained skeever to go in and grab any stubborn fish that their line can't quite reel.

They are evolving.

So I got the Pets of Skyrim thing from Creation Club and it turns out you can get a Skeever pet that helps you... find food? Pick pockets? I'm not sure I haven't looked into it much.

The point is Serana can have her Skeever friend now and that's all that matters.

the fact that i got three of these and NO NOTIFICATIONS FOR THEM. tired of this website got damn.

anyways my headcanon is that Delvin feeds the Skeevers in that damn sewer to the point that they keep coming back. Everyone is mad at him for it
