Bloodmoon:Creatures
Creatures on Solstheim are highly adapted to the bitter conditions; many of them are immune to cold. They are generally stronger than the wildlife in Morrowind, higher in level and have more sophisticated abilities and tactics. See also undead for the more unnatural creatures encountered on the island.
Bears
Grizzly Bear
- "Bears are but one of the sacred creatures the All-Maker has blessed us with. They embody the warrior's strength, and some of the Skaal can even summon them to fight by their sides." — A Skaal
Description: This dark red furred bear is the weakest to be found on Solstheim, but is nevertheless an impressive creature, much larger than the average adventurer, especially when standing up on its rear feet.
Found: All over Solstheim in the woods as well as in some ice caves.

Plague Bear
- "Lots of them around this island. Some of them are pretty nasty, even diseased. Doesn't pay to mess with them, though their pelts can be valuable, I hear." — A guard at Fort Frostmoth
Description: Of similar size to the grizzly bear, this beast is more resistant against the surrounding nature than its cousin, and known to carry diseases.
Found: All over Solstheim.

- "They're big, and deadly! Their claws and teeth can freeze the flesh of an enemy." — A drunkard at the mead-hall in Thirsk.
Description: This magnificent beast can only be found in a few locations on Solstheim. It is perfectly adapted to its cold habitat and must be feared for its brutal attacks.
Found: Five locations in the Hirstaang Forest (map):
- In the snow-covered ground that runs southeast from the Sun Stone
- Same area as above, but further southeast
- At the southern tip of the large area of snow-covered ground, west of Fort Frostmoth
- Same area as above, at a small round patch of snow a little further west, near the stone arch
- At the edge of the snowy area west of Raven Rock

Grahl
- "I have heard them called that. We do not know what they really are. Perhaps an evil spirit, perhaps a great beast. Whatever they are, they are dangerous. Their claws and tusks rend armor and tear flesh. They will attack alone or in packs. Take care when they are near." — A Skaal
Description: A strange huge creature that lives underground. Little is known about it.
Found: Rarely found in some ice caves.

Horkers
- "Another of the All-Maker's wondrous creations. These creatures provide a great deal for our people. They are strong swimmers and fierce fighters, on land and in the sea." — A Skaal
Description: A peaceful sea animal that is typical for the seaside of Solstheim. However, if not left alone it is said to chase an aggressor even on land.

Rieklings
- "Foul creatures. Some call them the Falmer, claim they are related to the other elves. This I do not know, but they are vile. Some are intelligent enough to speak, but they speak only nonsense." — A Skaal
Description: These little creatures reside in the coldest region of Solstheim and are often met in packs of five or more. While one is easy to fend off, a group can be a deadly threat.
Found: Common in the colder northern and northwestern region of Solstheim.

Spriggans
- "The tree spirits of this island. When the All-Maker breathed life into the creatures of the land, his Breath blew through the trees as well. Some of these trees kept a part of this life, and these are the spriggans you see today." — A Skaal
Description: These spirits of the icy forest are like the local trees. Strong and resistant. Protecting the woods against intruders they fight anyone coming near and are feared greatly because they cannot be killed easily.
Found: Common in the greener southern region of Solstheim.

- Notes
- Spriggans will regenerate completely the first two times you kill them. Each time, they come back bigger, and with more resistance. As a result, you can harvest three souls from them if you Soultrap them each time.
- If you kill a spriggan once and immediately loot its body you can dispose of its corpse and it won't regenerate again, but it won't count as being killed (so don't do it during a quest where you have to kill spriggans)
Tusked Bristlebacks
- "The Tusked Bristleback is a mystery to us. It is a natural being, created by the All-Maker, but it is a cruel and vicious animal. The Rieklings use them as mounts, and have bred the creatures to be even more warlike and dangerous." — A Skaal
Description: The wild boar can be found in the coldest regions of Solstheim. Aggressive and mean, resistant against most influences and a fierce fighter too. Often comes in packs and should be avoided.
Found: Common in the colder northern and northwestern region of Solstheim.

Wolf
- "Wolves are one of the most blessed of the All-Maker's creations. They are fast and agile, and they are careful and clever hunters." — A Skaal

- "They're all over this island. Some travel in packs, which makes them especially dangerous. I've heard some carry disease, as well." — A guard at Fort Frostmoth
Description: This natural hunter likes to attack in packs, surrounding the prey. These creatures can spread diseases and should be treated carefully.

* It's likely the plague wolf was given this spell by mistake instead of the Resist Paralysis ability, since the wolf does not have enough magicka for this or even the ability to cast spells.
Snow Wolf
- "Funny you should mention it. I'd swear I saw one the other day. But maybe it was just my eyes playing tricks on me. All this snow all the time, and you're bound to start thinking you're seeing things in it." — A Miner at Raven Rock
Description: This rare creature is the toughest of its kind and often sought after because of its fur.
Found: Five locations in and near the Moesring Mountains (map):
- The narrow passage through the Moesring Mountains that leads from the Harstrad River toward Hrothmund's Barrow, located in the northwestern corner of the island.
