    Excellent! Love the zoological art used for the presentation and am excited to see a new LG event, it's been a fair while since the last one. The tags made me laugh too!

    It just felt appropriate xD

    On a different note; No article from the great, the fantastic, the diseased Philius Siphilius? Color me disappointed.

    Hmm, this might be an interesting opportunity for Aurelin to write about one of the bothersome creatures found on Vvardenfell. Cliff Racers are a pretty obvious (and plentiful) choice, but there's something to be said for the humble Scrib, too...

    Aaah the Scrib... Kwama's always intrigued me, I never understood how something could go from the Scrib to the Kwama Forager. Hell, in general those things make no sense: we've got the arthropodal larval stage scrib losing some if not all of its limbs during the metamorphosis. Morrowind is one big mindfuck for terran Biologists I tell you.

    As to those blasted cliffracers... One has to wonder if that still counts as biology? I know a certain, very convincing, dark elf (with a lovely voice) who claims they have gone extinct. It doesn't really matter for the purposes of this event but it could be an interesting thing to look into.

    Still brainstorming. Would Dwarven Automatons qualify as "creatures"?

    Early days Tein. That I would love to bring Peryite's blessings to this event and infect all the things with my various afflictions is a given, I would prefer to see everyone else have first dibs and not in any way feel concerned about participating. This event is a great idea, it is lore at grass roots level and as such anyone can do it. I would rather encourage that for now, see how things go and join in later in the month when others are already well stuck in :)

    Not really. Homunculi definitely are an interesting subject but they don't really fall into the category of creatures, with habbits, needs and such. 

    That's the question, dear Legion.

    Oh, Gnewna in all her glory! Yes, yes, yes, please! :D

    Cliffracers are an obvious choice, true, but Scrib...I think that if you go with Kwama in general you might actually have more stuff to write about than just one stage of Kwama. What do you think?

    :D Hmm, that's very true, although I think I might tie my brain in knots trying to figure it all out (as Teineeva said!)

    True, I suppose it'd be more Natural History? Perhaps a little oddity from the past, though?

     

    Sadly I'm currently unable to get even older games to play very happily on my PC, or I'd fire up Morrowind and have a potter around, see what takes my fancy. Ooooh, maybe Dreughs, if nobody else has picked them? Possibly comparison between them and the Land Dreughs found in Cyrodiil (which I dimly remember reading aren't necessarily a closely related species, though I might be imagining that/thinking of a piece of fanon...)

    I am torn between doing mine on the shocking wamasu or the mighty mammoth......decisions, decisions. Leaning towards mammoth currently, will give a final answer later tonight or tomorrow.

    Hi there! So I'm mainly active in the Fallout group, however I'd love to branch out and potentially try something new like this! If you could put me down for Imps that'd be swell. I always loved the little buggers in Oblivion, and they seem like they'll have some pretty straight forward info and aren't too complex. Thank you!
