Dremora[edit]
These Daedra are highly intelligent and powerful humanoid war spirits, generally in the service of Mehrunes Dagon, although this is not always so. They usually appear as demon-like knights, with skin colours ranging from the flesh of men, to dark ashen greys, to blue, purple and red. They make for ferocious combatants. This is not just because of their abilities as sorcerers and warriors, but also because as creatures of Oblivion, they have no need to fear death. Some are immune to normal weapons and many can reflect spells. They craft and wear their own armor, known as Daedric armor, reputed to be the strongest available in Tamriel.
Dremora organise and rank themselves in a rigid caste structure, divided into many tiers. In hierarchical order, these are Churl, Caitiff, Kynval, Kynreeve, Kynmarcher, Markynaz, and Valkynaz. It is possible that Kynreeve is a rank similar to Count, with reeve meaning local official or magistrate. The highest order of Dremora are Dremora Lords, with the exceptionally powerful sometimes called Daedra Lords. The Dremora often communicate to inhabitants of the mundane world and much of the recorded information on their kind has come from mages with the ability to summon them from their plane. When not in service of a summoner, however, they are almost exclusively hostile to all mortals.

They are often seen as hostile marauders, or in scouring dungeons in search of valuables to bring back to their homeland of Orsinium. For more information about Orc culture and history, see Lore:Orc, or for more on Orcs as a playable race, see Morrowind:Orc and Oblivion:Orc.

Although they can be damaged by unenchanted arms, any edged weapons (swords, axes, etc.) do only about half their normal damage. Adventurers are advised to used blunt weapons (maces, hammers, flails, etc.) when fighting these creatures. They are immune to disease, frost and poison and resistant to shock.

Rats have been domesticated by some races and creatures of Tamriel. Merchants in Mournhold train pets as pack animals and pets, Goblins keep rat farms as a source of food and bandits of Hammerfell have been known to train rats to carry small items for them, and even to drag away chests.
Cave Rat[edit]
A common rodent found in most underground habitats (like caves, for instance).
Giant Rat[edit]
Higher levels can quickly dispatch with one swing, but lower levels may wish to use ranged weapons to avoid disease.
Vampire[edit]
The vampire is one of the most powerful and feared undead found across Tamriel. Considered slightly less powerful than a Lich, the vampire is likely more feared because of its ability to turn those they bite into vampires themselves, a fate described as worse than death itself. Even if the bite does not render one a vampire, it may inflict other blood-borne diseases on the victim. Vampires, especially in their older, Ancient form, are excellent fighters and spell-casters and should be approached with great caution.
Vampires were once people who suffered from Porphyric Hemophilia, a creation of the Daedric Prince Molag Bal. The condition makes the bearer supernaturally strong and agile, at the expense of hungering for the blood of other living creatures. For more information on vampires in general, see Lore:Vampire.
Ancient Vampire[edit]
Ancient Vampires are creatures who have prolonged their life for such a period of time that the effects of vampirism have completely changed them, turning them into extremely powerful sorcerers. This form of vampire can only be damaged by weapons of mithril quality or better.
