I feel like a Nazeem joke would be perfect here, but just a bit too easy to make.

The most terrifying character is the courier, he always knows where you are.

Miraak: I made a new dragon! Dragonborn: You ruined a perfectly good dragon is what you've done. Look at it, it's got slime.

"Serpentine dragons are one of the most dangerous winged beasts in the game" Proceeds to attack with long bow and iron arrows

Everybody gangsta, until the Chaurus you saw starts flying...

Disturbing creatures, you say? *sharpens sword* I should avoid them, you say? *Waxes bowstring* And where can I find them... *adjusts armour* ...to avoid them, of course.

Title: “Disturbing creatures you should absolutely avoid.” What I read: “Disturbing creatures that don’t stand a chance against you.”

Most Disturbing Creatures You Should Absolutely Avoid: "In our next spot, deer"

Me: "Oh? A bunch of Chaurus in a pen? This will be easy! All I have to do is pump them full of arrows from the outside, and there's nothing they can do about it!" Lydia: *Opens the pen to engage in melee.* Me: "You weren't supposed to do that."

The most terrifying creatures are those warriors from hammerfell. They have curved swords, CURVED SWORDS!

Nate: "Absolutely avoid these creatures at any cost!" Me: "I wanna pet the Vale Deer. No, I WILL pet the Vale Deer."

"Theres Nobody i won't fight!" - Whiterun's resident Bully

It's a shame vale deer skin doesn't make for glowing leather armor.

I am the creature they should avoid- The Dragonborn

The spiders are really creepy to look at. But the animation could be way better. Imagine them sneaking around behind you. Walking upside down and along the walls.

You can still find Falmers tents decorated with giant Chaurus head in Dawnguard main quest to retrieve Auriel's bow.

What if they only had the giant charus that falmer could ride in Blackreach

My theory is the Vale Deer were originally supposed to be in Blackreach, a place where evolving bio-luminescence makes a lot of sense. Then they ended up not being added for some reason, then the Dawnguard dlc came out and they had these deer models already so they just threw them there instead. Explains why they look the way they do and why there's no lore or mentions of them.

Nate: These horrifying freaks of nature... Serpentine dragon: Aye that's my physical appearance. That hurts really bad....

"Disturbing creatures" *shows a glowing dear* ah geez that sure is scary

Nothing is more terrifying than seeing nazeem face

"Creatures you should avoid" *mounts horse while dragonborn theme blares in back ground*

The Udefrykte and Udefrykte Matron may be based on Grendel and Grendel's mother, from the epic poem Beowulf. Grendel commits a massacre in a mead hall and is eventually killed by Beowulf, who later fights Grendel's mother.

The Vale animals aren't native above ground. They're from the caves. That's why they glow, it's a form of communication in the dark, same as all the plants down there. That's Also why you can only find vale Sabercats in caves. The very few vale deer you see above ground only left the caves to escape predators.

At least Chaurus aren't fuzzy, like a certain giant, eight legged freak I know of... lookin' at you Frostbite Spider.

My personal theory on the bioluminescence of the vale deer and tigers is the fauna that grows there, the gleam blossoms. Maybe the vale deer would eat that and after constant exposure to it they gained the luminescence from it, the tigers would then inherit it by having eaten the deer. That might also explain why the blossoms arent seen too often even in the caves there, since the deers main diet wouldve consisted of it

The Chaurus and Falmer are the only enemies that give me the creeps to confront in the game, even when i´m op, gives me Morrowind flashbacks.

The serpentine dragons have always reminded me of Silumgar, the dragon who leads the sultai clan in magic the gathering. Miraak's especially.

i haven't watched the video yet, but Nazeem better be in this list

The Khajiit caravans have what looks like Vale Deer skins on the back "wall" on the inside of the big tent. Which is odd.

I friggin' love how he says Uderfrykte

7:57 Although the chaurus isn't as big as that, the chaurus reaper we see in the Lighthouse quest (where a family was murdered) seems to look almost exactly as the sketch predicts. I assume that's where they put their efforts in creating the same sketch.

Nazeem: "Do you get to the Cloud District very often? Oh, what am I say---" Dragonborn: "NO! NO! NO! *runs away* "

From the Forgotten Vale... Forgotten Veal

But here's the question: Can I use an "Ideal Master" as a soul gem to power my Wabbajack?

Re: The Chaurus it seems the worm forms are larvae. Think really scary caterpillar, and even nastier butterfly is the vibe I got from them.

Arachnophobes: _(Starts a new game of Skyrim and escapes into the caves beneath Helgen)_ Spiders: _"You picked the wrong cave fool!"_ Arachnophobes: _"A'ight imma head out"_

Nate: "The Chaurus are my least favorite enemy in the game" My insectophobia: "I hear ya buddy."

"5 Disturbing Creatures You Should Absolutely Avoid in The Elder Scrolls 5" Ah the vale dear one of skyrims most deadly creatures

so we just gonna ignore how the troll thing is actually a call back to the norse story of beowulf

I've never found a serpent dragon other then the one mirrak had

Although Frost Trolls probably made this list or in past videos, I should remind everyone not to take them lightly.

The last creatures almost sounds like a Beowulf reference.

Something for your 10 tiny details - if you learn the 1st or 2nd word of the Whrilwind Sprint shout before doing "The Way of the Voice", Arngeir will actually comment on it when teaching you Whirlwind sprint. It's like, one line of dialogue, but I found it pretty neat. And Borri will now teach you the 2nd or 3rd word of whirlwind sprint instead of the first

You underestimate the power of console commands Nate

“Back when the snow elves were........ well not extinct” I don’t know why I laughed at this😂 the way you said it and how true it is is funny

Im a simple man... I see Frostflow Lighthouse and i start to cry

In Chaurus caves you can actually come across elder Reapers inside their cocoon, in the process of transforming into a Hunter. If you break open these cocoons there might sometimes burst forth a juvenile Hunter, which then proceeds to stalk through the shadows and spit acid at you from afar. But you having forced it out of the cocoon early means it has not yet had sufficient time to mature properly, and you will dispatch of it almost effortlessly. The Chaurus Reapers you fight as mini-bosses of sorts at the main egg clusters of Chaurus caves seem to be nearing the end of their life-cycle, if their size compared to the cocoon's is indicative of anything. A few more years, or perhaps months, and they'll be ready to progress on to become a Hunter. The Nest always prefer to keep at least one mature Reaper around though, for the purpose of protecting the eggs, the cocoons and the nest in general.

8:15 "Thank Talos" *Angry Thalmor noises*

"I apparently have a passion for making myself uncomfortable" Dude, Same xD

The vale deer are actually from the blackreach! I found some in eso's greymoor as well as vale bears and wolves. Which would explain the glowing

7:49, I ran into a chaurus reaper somewhere and it's head was probably as big as lydia

"Terrible creatures you SHOULD AVOID"-nate Me: aDuLt MoDs....

5 creatures I should totally look for?? Awesome!!! Thanks for the suggestions Nate

it’s worth noting that Tolkein never actually described the beasts ridden by the Nazgûl with anything more than just being “fell,” so the creatures in the movies were really the creation of artists later on (Jackson used a lot of inspiration from, and worked directly with a lot of artists who were famous for their interpretations of LotR) and not necessarily what Tolkein himself thought they looked like

I fought a frost serpentine Dragon when I was level 30 and was still on mainland skyrim

1:01 that’s what those weird dragons were! I just thought I had a little too much skooma

Have you talked about the mammoth frozen in the ice near Sarthal?

By the time I got round to hunting Cicero, I could one shot the troll, I didn't even notice it was different. Oh well.

The Udrfrykte in ESIII is a reference to the story of Beowulf, and the Udrfrykte Matreon is just a continuation of that same reference. You can find a reference to the ESIII one in the water near the Thirsk Mead Hall in Solestheim

No one: Serpentine Dragon: Hey kid, you like sleeping?

Insects are just big NOPE in Bethesda thank god in Skyrim poison isn’t as bad as it is in Fallout new Vegas cazadors

The most terrifying thing in skyrim is whoever keeps shooting those guards in the knee and somehow to this day hasn't been caught

If you look closely at the patch-skin tents you see in various camps in Skyrim, you’ll see what looks like the pelts of the Vale Deer or maybe it’s Saber counterpart among the various furs (standing outside the tent looking at them). I remember just staring at them trying discern the different types lol.

Last time I was this early, I wasn't finally awake.

Heeeyyy! 😁 I love the Vale Deer and Sabres, they're just so pretty! I wish there was a way to put their fur on your armor. Be a dashing Dovahkiin. 😅

I remember finding a chaurus hunter at a low level I had never encountered one and I thought it would be easy *TOP TEN INSTANT REGRETS*

I'm sure it's been mentioned but in Norwegian Udyr means beast or monster, and Frykt means fear. So the Udyrfrykte would translate to fearbeast roughtly. Which by the looks of this thing is very fitting.

As much as I enjoy looking at Vale Deer, why are they "disturbing"?

In Bloodmoon it is called Udyrfrykte which is basically beast and fear put together. The background of the troll is also similar to Grendel.

The Uderfryke is a reference to Grendel of the saga of Beowulf. In which a Norse Hall was being attacked by a giant troll, who would steal in at night to butcher the sleeping revelers. The story roughly has Beowulf rip the beasts arm off when he arrives and stays awake to catch the monster. Only later for even more men to die, when Grendel's mother decides to get revenge. Beowulf travels into the marshes to find their lair, and slays both. The first Uderfryke in ES3 references the first part, with Grendel attacking the mead hall. And the second one (the matron or "mother") getting revenge on some Nords in ES4 represents Grendel's mother. As for the one in Skyrim. I guess they didn't want to leave this Nordic monster out of a Nordic game, and so is probably just a nudge-nudge wink-wink towards the origin of the tale, rather than directly referencing the story itself.

Nate, I want you to know that I love all your videos and they put me in a good mood when I’m not. I always look forward to watching them and learning something new, thank bro!

I had my hands full so I clicked on this video with my nose. I think I need help. 😂

Last time I was this early, I still had my sweetroll....

TheEpicNate3115: Thank Talos Thalmor Justiciar: You are under arrest for your heresy!

The Chaurus canonically evolve and that's just so damn terrifying. (As if they weren't nightmare-inducing enough in their original state in Vanilla Skyrim)

Whens the "everything theepicnate hasn't covered in skyrim and fallout 4 list"?

Really awesome to have a channel with well-made videos still focusing on Skyrim. It’s one of my fav games and having a reliable channel that focuses on it is awesome. Keep up the good work!!

I always thought the Ideal Masters used those giant soul gems as a medium to observe the Soul Cairn, or that the Vale deer and sabre cat have a unique fur and such due to their diet conisting of unique bioluminescent plant matter. I'm sure they know, but they aren't talking.

Idk if anyone caught this, but the Udyrfrykte and by extension the matron variant, is a reference to the tale of Beowulf and his battle with Grendle and his mother. Monsterous beings that feed on the flesh of man. The quest in Morrowind is especially a reference, as Grendle attacks the mead hall the group of men are celebrating at.

Different ways creatures react to Chuarus': Falmer: Who's a good boy, oh your so adorable, yes you are, Yes you are! Dragonborn: KILL IT, WTH IS THAT. OMG. BURN THE VAMPIRE, thingy,

Actually through my play in Skyrim I did encounter two big charuses .. First one in blach reach cave but not too large and the other one in a secret cave under a tower near Winterhold. The second one was unbelievably huge

I’m certain the serpentine are inspired by the fellbeast and miraak resembles the witch king somewhat

"ideal masters" how to talk like a furry 101

“TheEpicNate315 posted a video” *instantaneously clicks video*

"Creatures you should avoid" *Shows a deer and some rocks*

There's also a huge round chaurus-like insect the shape of a big boulder inside of one of the caves in the Falmer Valley. It's an actual living creature but large and immobile (still creepy) and it's where you can mine the chaurus chitin from. I accidentally ran into one in a dark cave and nearly jumped out of my skin.

There's also an ethereal troll called the Uderfrykte (pronounced OO-der-frik-teh, by the way) Matron, which can be found in the ruins of Winterhold near the base of the spire the College sits on.

The forgotten vale is probably the best looking area in Skyrim, was one of my favourite parts of the game.

Am I the only one that thinks serpentine dragons are really cute

I don't know if this has been written yet, but if one looks at some of the Falmer huts, especially once you delve deeper underground, you can see the Chaurus Hunters' bodies decorating the entryway of the hut. Some of them are actually pretty huge, too.

Even thought most Chauruses (?) aren’t taht big, there is one in Frostflow Lighthouse I think that’s gigantic that you find a guy called Habd’s remains inside of when you loot it :/

May I just say that I desperately love how Nate pronounces the word "Uderfrykte"? x))

"Udyrfrykte" is actually kinda Norwegian (Udyr and Frykte). Udyr means kinda "savage animal" and Frykte, you guessed it, "Fear"

How has my man not reached 1 mil subs yet? He definitely deserves it

There is a single giant Chaurus, during the Frostflow Lighthouse quest!

Was just watching an old Nate video when I got the notification

My theory for serpentine dragons - Location variancy. like you get with different types of animals on earth, it seems rather the same in Tamriel, (notable in the sabre cat species)

I adore you videos! Thank you. They have been so much fun during the Quarantine!

Charuses life cycle is much like a butterflies in alot of respects and I agree they have got to the creepeist things in the game.
