From their giant flea-like appearance to the way they’re controlled everything about them gives me the creeps.
Any creepy TES fauna and flora you’re not a fan of?
I miss these, Morrowind was such an inspired game with such unique environments
I was legitimately angry when I first played oblivion and learned you could just teleport anywhere automatically right from the start of the game
Not to mention that Oblivion’s interpretation of Cyrodiil is just so bland compared to Vvardenfell.
Which is only exacerbated by how weird some of the Daggerfall/Morrowind-era lore about the imperial province was.
It very creative I love it. I absolutely agree it’s disturbing if you think about it, but really, why walk when you can ride?
What’s most disturbing is how the Dunmer steer these things to go where they want. They poke and prod at their exposed nerves and organs to coax the beasts into going where they want them to go.
It’s how the Fremen ride the sandworms in Dune.
Is Fandom no good? Should I avoid linking in future? Apologies if so.
Here’s a pretty good writeup on the whole thing.
Don’t apologize. Linking to Fandom isn’t some great sin, some people just prefer to avoid the site.
Gotcha! Thank-you very much!
Fandom is very bad.
If you have to use Fandom for certain wikis, there are certain extensions like LibRedirect that will automatically redirect Fandom links to breezewiki, which is an alternative Fandom frontend without the obnoxious ads.

Holy shit, I never knew we were literally removing the shell from these poor dudes and messing with their brain chemistry in order to influence movement.
Feel kinda bad using them now.
I love them!! I want to take care of them irl, travel the world.
That’s what makes them so cool for worldbuilding!
I’m not a big fan of sloads, but ifk if that counts as they are a sentient race. But I just don’t like looking at those Jabba-looking mfs.
Not a chance. They’re super cute.
I find the whole alien-like feeling of Morrowind and it’s creatures very calming and relaxing, so I’m kind of opposite here.
To me, it’s quite the opposite! I feel like Silt Striders are kind of cozy, actually. What can be more comfortable and safe to travel than on the back of a big bug-giraffe? They are sweet, calm, non-aggressive, domesticated creatures.
