  This has probably come up before but I thought i'd share it anyway :D

  So exiting whiterun I went to the Khajiit trading camp and turned right towards halted stream camp. My smithing was 28 at the time. About half way I noticed a small dark pond with a skeletal hand poking out holding a sword. The sword was dwarven! I decided to test wether the swords were random or not. I noticed the higher my smithing the better the sword. This was the first easter egg I found. So, what easter eggs have you guys run into?

  I have never run into the sword in the lake even though I knew were it was. I have found the notched pickaxe at the top of High Hrothgar. I have also once seen a pacman one using a piece of cheese.

  For me that hand always has a Orcish sword, no matte the level. 

  I have one, but not exactly an easter egg. In the White River Watch there are the (to my knowledge) only two fur helmets in the game.

  My favourite one definetely has to be the Mysterium Xarxes page in the Dawnstar Museum turning into a bucket when you attack it.

  Yeah the Blind guy one. I know it is cruel, but I love messing with the blind guy . And it has bound bow in there? Nice! I will have to find it.

  The bound bow is not in that cave, but you can find it in a bucket at a fort.   If you're interested, I wrote a detail description of its location called Early Conjure Bow in the Tips and Tricks Group .

  The 300 easter egg, a body of a saber cat with a sword lying nearby. Don't remember where.

  The sword in the lake is actually a reference to king arthur, where Excalibur was taken from a hand-shaped rock by the lady of the lake (another easter egg concerning the lady is the fact that the lady stone is in the middle of a...lake.

  Not really an easter egg, just a weird random encounter, but still one of my favorites is the little guy I call Explorer Chicken... the first time I bumped into him was on a road east of Riften, just a lone chicken walking down the road not close to any settlements.  I followed him for a while until a dragon attacked and I got distracted.  I've also run into him out in the wilds of the Reach, far west of Dragon Bridge and not even on a road, just strutting around.  I also found him near the shrine of Azura, I usually try to follow him but he never really goes anywhere, just keeps on walking.

  He's got nothing left to lose, walking for eternity knowing not even the Divines themselves will try to stop him, leaving a path of destruction in his wake

  Holy Crap, I just realized it's also a reference to LOTR, in the War of the Last Alliance, the Battle of Dagor marshes a bunch of Elves and Men died, their bodies lurking just beneath the surface of the water...

  I think it's a reference to Arthurian legend, seems a bit more obvious
