I bet this video will be awesome
What?! No weresharks?!😋
Absolutely loved this video! Also the voice acting was amazing, I didn't even realize you had them recorded until the line from Miaq.
I have a question, what mod do you use in fallout 4 that lets you view the stat changes the weapon mods give?
All these creatures need to be mods.
The year is 2050 and Camelworks is still finding content for 'Things you missed in Elder Scrolls'.
With the elder scrolls 6 coming out in 2055 he’s got plenty to work with
@@jnelson4611 ._. Don’t give Bethesda any ideas
@@jnelson4611 now now that's when 7 comes out not 6 that comes out in 2040 lol
@ZCS what happened to him anyways?
i'd still watch it tbh
Don't know what is more dangerous, a pissed of sea giant or Camel's ability to produce an endless supply of puns.
Definitely camels puns. You can kill a sea giant, you can’t kill endless puns
@@songbird6414 True, you can't kill them, because like a swarm of ants, there are always more.
@@UnswimmingFishYT I was thinking more like you can kill them but their memory will always haunt you
I'd say it's his ability to waste time tbh
The puns. Most definitley the puns.
I've never searched all the cells of the sea floor in Morrowind, so for all I know, Bethesda may have hidden an Emperor Crab or at least a shell somewhere far offshore.
If we know about the message in a bottle at the edge of the map in the ocean, we’d know about an emperor crab out there 😂
@@Camelworks Thats exactly what the Crabs want you to think...
So today I learned that everything sucks in Black Marsh.
Bruh
Quite literally
😂🤣 But can Argonians regrow limbs?
Black marsh is the Australia of Tamriel
@@yourfriendlyneighbourhoodl6206no
Mudcrab 10/10 most sophisticated creature In TES
Filthy creatures
@@facejobby
I saw one, just the other day!
@@HareDeLune Annoying buggers, though the meat isn't bad!
Pretty sure it was a Mudcrab Invasion that lead to the disappearance of the Dwemer
@@repubblesmcglonky8990 Them and the skeever.
This guy hit us with the “GeSHEnoth” and just casually continued...
Isn't there a camp outside of dawnstar with 2 beds and some flowers and wine? Maybe the Gehenoth was the one who took the 2 lovers in the night? :D
Imp retry sure that just got drunk and fooled around in the freezing water until they died of hypothermia
There is, there is also an amulet of Mara.
Scute is actually the word for one of the plate-like sections on a turtle's shell, so it is entirely possible the scute found in ESO is from the same mock turtle. Some adventurer probably just came along and pryed off a plate from its shell.
Poor turtle :(
Turtles also shed their scutes as they age, like a lizard or snake shedding their skin
The Rootworm: Only the Argonians don't find it repulsive.
Black Marsh in a nutshell.
Black Marsh is the Detroit of the elder scrolls world.
@@darenstapleton6750 more the Australia
@@darenstapleton6750 Nah, Bravil is the Detroit of Nirn, Black Marsh is more like Florida
@@anthonymagkno Yeah, I thought about Florida after typing it.
I always imagine blackmarsh is most similar too the Amazon rainforest with all the insects and viruses and parasites
‘Elder Scrolls Detective: Dark Elves, Imperial Spies?’ please
Big hot men
YES
Great idea!
YESSS!!!! THIS!!!!
Sounds good

"You, hero, are the soul of conflict."
What if he's not talking to the player character, but the player directly? Maybe the Soul of Conflict is who we play as in every Elder Scrolls game. We, as the Soul of Conflict, posses and empower a person so they can do greater things than normal. And once we see there is no more capability for conflict in their life we leave them to go do other things.
It's just a thought, but if anyone wants to take this further feel free to.
I think you are onto something. Check out the imperial library and Vivec/CHIM for more about TES breaking the fourth wall.
You're on the right track. According to one of the Sermons of Vivec, the player, described as "looking through an invisible mirror in the sky", is part of Sithis. So being the actual soul of conflict isn't impossible.
What if the Mock Turtle shed his shell? This would explain why it was smaller too. He was smaller during the ESO and outgrew his shell as he grew from ESO to Battlespire.
Yeah that’s what a scute is so it would make sense…
Rootworms are still faster than the ESO loading screens
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Those PS3 Skyrim loading times were cooked 😂
What an awesome collab video❤️ So many talents and ofc lovely lore detective work from your end.
Thanks Kyle! We should collab in a hotel room.. oh wait.. already done that

@@Camelworks not sus at all.
You have My ear citizen
@@Camelworks 👀
I predict that in the future The Spiffing Brit will find a way to exploit the Argonian Rootworm Metro system to make a huge amount of gold..
It will be like the infinite money one in EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HIS OBLIVION VIDEOS
@@beanface7408 :D
Love how Camel just casually dropped a reference to dummy thicc Nord women
I really just love the Elder Scrolls universe, it never fails to amaze me. The sheer *_depth_* of the lore alone is something to marvel at.
The lore is better and deeper than even Tolkien
I was scared that the voice actors where gunna be stand ins, but this was absolutely perfect
Absolutely fantastic video as always Camel! It was wonderful working with you!
Pleasure working with you too!
Me: Imma play some Apex Legends
*Camel releases Video*
Me: * starts a 100 hour Morrowind playthrough instead*
Yoooo, you play Apex? On what platform?
@@yourfriendlyneighbourhoodl6206 I play on PC
@@yourfriendlyneighbourhoodl6206 heh, ever heard of titanfall 2?
The Mock Turtle was Sheogorath or a prank by him i swear it
Yeah, that seems reasonable
Honestly, I feel like I've watch almost EVERYTHING that you've posted about the Elder Scrolls! It's fascinating how you're able to find out so much information on the lore of such an awesome game! 💞
Ive been playing Elder Scrolls since I was 5
@@somebodysthrowaway damn, that’s crazy. Don’t remember anyone asking
Its called fabrication for those who have no imagination
Welcome to the Elder Scrolls universe, where we have several variants of murder crabs.
At first I was skeptical of having voice actors and artists in the video but they were all amazing. The voice actors are both brilliant and the art is stunning. Love it
These crabs are horrifying and deadly beyond imagination
Me:”hehe, rainbow noodle crab”
Man, having huge, smart, fast sea giants as an extreme fringe north edge of the map enemy in game would be pants shittingly terrifying. And awesome
I thought for sure you would be talking about the ever elusive wereshark in this one.
Couldn't help but notice you forgot to mention the rarest of all creatures.... ze wivly and elusive Humble-Altmer.
Humble-Altmer? How dare you mention that. It’s only been spotted once and it was a force too powerful for this world, wrecked havoc upon all of Tamriel!
The only humble Altmer is one preparing a humble brag. A kind of method acting almost.
@@Liam-rz3wl When the Humble-Altmer appears on Nirn, the whole of Mundus shall enter a dragon-break, Hermaeus Mora will enter Aetherius, the World Bones will shake and the Adamantine Tower will fall. The prophecy of the Daedric Prince Sheogorath becoming Lord of All Cheese will come to fruition. Nazeem shall acquire Chim, and ascend to the one true Cloud District, where you will not visit very often. Such is written in the Elder Scrolls
Having one of those was Legacy of the Dragonborn's biggest lore break.
Camelworks:"It is not specifically known how or where this final blow struck"
Me:"It was a giant enemy crab, clearly he struck it's weak point for massive damage"
Yes I know it's a dumb joke and low hanging fruit but it was the first thing I thought of.
Yes. the glowing part why did no one else think to hit that
The Gehenoth can also be attracted if you play the clarinet badly, or wear a sombrero in a goofy fashion.
Have fun inside!!
@@john-doemcalias4759 "What do you mean 'have fun inside'"?
@@mr.mxyzptlk5656 its a spongebob reference.... from the same episode... i really hope thats a troll my dude 😆
@@john-doemcalias4759 I know, lol I was doing Squidward's line 😆
@@mr.mxyzptlk5656 oh god.... im the dumb one. Well done 😅
You were right, the Lizardmen pique my Warhammer inner nerd
The lizardmen are cool, I mean Aztec dinosaurs riding on dinosaurs.
It makes my inner kid act up
CAMEL!!! My main man from down under bringing that TES lore!!!!!!!
Sea-Drakes never interested me partially because of the silly name, but after seeng Katie's fantastic artwork, I suddenly need to brush up on my lore
reminds me of Jurassic World: We need more teeth!
How is it a silly name?
@@kylebear8101 Well Drake is a name right? so to me it's no different than sea Stevens or sea Andrews lol
@@Aerondise okay but drakes historically refer to a kind of Draconic creature, so, yeah, it’s a name, but it’s a name in the same way something like “river” or “Griffin” is. You wouldn’t say a creature called a Blue Griffin is stupid because it involves a word that could be used as a name lol. It’s not the same as something like “Steven” because of the historical context.
@@songbird6414 Interesting, I was unaware of the historical context. So Drake is an abbreviation for Draconic? Which means Dragon-like?
Dayum I didn't realize this was 43 mins.. felt like 5! Loved the video dude, was awesome watching live, great job to the artist and voice actors!
Same! Very interesting and didn't feel like that long lol
For the voreplasim we have actually seen it’s fully formed body before, technically. It’s broken up and partially melted but that hole cave in murkmirr (if I remember it’s called the goo groves or something) is supposed to be a greater/true voreplasm that was sealed away to slowly disapate over time.
That was a big cave and it was everywhere even the ceiling
Hey camel! I uploaded the screenshots and wrote the umbra-keth information you used in your video for the uesp - ("orange demonic webbed feet"). I'm super glad obscure Shadowkey stuff is being given exposure, but I would appreciate it if you credited uesp in the description!
I noticed youtubers do that
To be fair, not like there really is a better place for ES information.
@@aldebaran2643 true, but in this case he's copying from the wiki verbatim without crediting it ^^
I don't mind that he used my words, since I wrote that page, but a creditation to the uesp would be nice
@@jabraco. Before posting that comment I also asked him to do so btw
@@aldebaran2643 ah okay ^^
thanks for doing so
The Sea Drake reminds me of a Draconic SlaughterFish lmao
I have a deep sea phobia. These Sea Drakes remind me of everything i hate about ARK: Survival Evolved... I stay on land. Nice and dry. Fuck those fish things.
I wish there were more well known mods that would bring these beasts to Skyrim.
Also, I wish Shadow Key was available to play!!
That turtle looks more stoned than I am
The sea drakes seem like they're based on the liopleurodon, a huge aquatic reptile from dinosaur times. Anyways thanks for all the puns, they sustain my life.
I heard there's certain species that are even considered magical.
They look like massive slaughterfish to me
Liopleurodon isn't really that huge. Closer to the size of a.... really big dolphin. Or one of the smaller species of whale. Mosasaurus is what you're looking for.
If you ever had mockturtle soup (yes, it's a real thing), you would NOT be looking forward to it.
Mock turtle soup is an English soup that was created in the mid-18th century as a cheaper imitation of green turtle soup. It often uses brains and organ meats such as calf's head or a calf's foot to duplicate the texture and flavour of the original's turtle meat.
Bruh
friendly reminder that brilliant scientist Darwin had a habit of partaking of the essence of what species he did discover. Galapagos tortoise included.
@@ChronoSquare was apparently one of the nicest meats, I don't blame him. And I sure when he ate some they were still in abundance, too
@@ChronoSquare as horrible as it is, I can’t really blame him. I feel like eating animals is every humans first instinct when they’re discovered throughout history.
Isn''t it the "Ice Tribe" from travels: Dawnstar that has been theorized to be kamal?
The "Ice Tribes" could be Kamal, Riekrs, Falmer or a completely different kind of goblin ken/beastfolk entirely. We know so little about the Ice Tribes, so anyone of these could be possible origins, though I have my doubts about the Ice Tribes being Falmer since the creatures we see in Dawnstar and Shadowkey are not blind like the Falmer are in Skyrim.
Well this is some time before skyrim so they could have been less mutated.
@@pringlelingle6827 I don't think they mutated, I'm pretty sure they just turned blind
@@mehrolsaviik they did mutated but the blindless was an pretty instant effect of the mushroom the dwemer gave the falmers. So yes falmers looked a lot different back then but ever since the dwemer gave them refugee they were blinded by them.
Somewhere in Skyrim, there's an enormous dead crab. Near Whiterun, in fact
I'm going to use some of these creatures for my dnd campaign mainly the root worm and sea drake
i started TES V not long ago and this channel helped me so much and i love the vids
Enjoy!
Mock Turtle voice acting 11/10. Ryan should be doing voicing in games.
we need the sea drake in elder scrolls 6
I just had a theory could the Sea Giants be responsible for the great collapse in Winterhold?
I did know about 6/10 already, although admittedly thats mostly because i watch all of Camel's and Fudemuppet's videos. Only 2 I knew from playing the games were Lizardmen and Emporer Crab. It always amazes me how you continue to did up info I've never heard about TES. That sessile crab sounds like a Souls boss.
10 Rare & Obscure Elder Scrolls Creatures, Number 10: worm vore
The emperor crab didn't bethesda model one for a mode off after skyrim they even made a spear animation
The sea drake is looks more like a more ferocious Pliosaurus.(large aquatic dino, related to Mosasaurus I believe) Still terrifying none the less
This video made me want a TES game in black marsh even more
Hot take: the abandoned tent by the Sea north of Dawnstar is not the result of the lovers drowning in a drunken stupor, but rather they were dragged away by a Gehenoth in their drunken sleep.
I’ve always assumed it was related to the one dungeon with the necrophilic necromancer? I believe one of his journals references laying flowers on beds in a tent near Dawnstar, or at least implies the tent was his?
The Sea-Drake looks like a neat fantasy version of Mosasaur.
Yes, it looks exactly like my nightmares from ARK: Survival Evolved.
Location: Sydney
*Yea that seems about right*
(referring to the creatures in the video)
You guys should really make a Skyrim mod that shows lore and have one you guys as a companion like how shoddy cast did for fall out 4
yessss more stuff to listen to while exploring tamriel rebuilt
Dagoth Ur would be proud!
When you mentioned the giant crabs, it's reminded me of a giant mudcrab carcass you encounter in skyrim, somewhere near whiterun I believe? Maybe do a follow up?
The voriplasm is definitely an amoeba type of thing, kinda of like a slime mold. It’s probably a single cell with a truly ungodly number of nuclei and a bit of Elder Scrolls basic fantasy creature magic.
The accounts of Sea Giants combined with the story of Atmorans, being the ancestors of Nords, is interesting. Atmorans were said to be as large as the dumb Giants found in Skyrim today, except they showed typical human sentience. It could simply be possible that Sea Giants are another branch of Atmorans, just as Skyrim Giants are as well. Coming only during the coldest winters would also agree with this theory, since perhaps their skin is the colour of frostbite BECAUSE they're constantly frostbitten, but in a way that doesn't hurt them and actually makes their skin a shield of some sorts.
Honestly this seems like a good headcanon for them.
Exactly my thoughts when it comes to their ancestry and relation to the Atmorans, but the idea of the freezing skin acting as some sort of armor seems really cool!
Random aside, but I checked out your channel, and while I know next to nothing about Touhou, I'm interested in listening to some of the music if that's still something you're working on uploading :)
21:05 I laughed so hard at that. I was thinking the Sea Drake was so dangerous that it had to see the fear in your eyes to be able kill you, but then was like bruh lmao
Mock turtle soup? That thing is huge!!! You could feed a whole village with that soup!!!
You are so much underappreciated creator. You take time to research, edit and narrate, some things that many other do not do so well. Please continue, you got yourself a new subscriber and I will reccomend you to whom ever I can. Hope more people will find you and subscribe. Keep up the good work!
Awww thank you, that’s so genuinely very sweet! Don’t plan on stopping anytime soon, so rest assured more content is coming
Voriplasm can be found in TESO: Greymoor!
In the next episode, you should absolutely talk about Snow Whales, or Sky Whales, o whatever they are called.
they're called snow whales, and i don't think there's much information on them at all
I enjoyed the fact you included the infernal city in your musings
Gehenoth might be a gremlins reference.
Thrice born, as a mogwai, as a cocoon, and as a gremlin. Gehenoth = Gremlin Behemoth
I mean, just look at it and tell me that isn't a gremlin from the movie.
You know what, that’s an interesting connection! And I like the notion of “Gremlin” + “Behemoth” = Gehenoth.
Great content as always! Loved those voiced bits and the art by Katie is amazing!
Thank You for still making those videos!
Here it's in fact the middle of the day, and time for my lunch break, perfect timing!
with the mock turtle Scute it is possible that it is the mock turtle you meet in the game as some species of turtles shed parts of their shells in growth, a scute is what they call the many fragments that make up the shell. so its not unlikely that the turtle made its way down there somehow and just grew too large to get out.
Camel I've been watching your videos for a few months now, and always find your voice so soothing, after I watch this video I can't wait to watch it again to fall asleep to, keep up the amazing work!
I appreciate the way you present these videos. Amazing vocabulary and use of the 3rd person rather than 1st or 2nd person make this feel like a well-written documentary. Thanks for the video 👍
I subbed sooo long ago and I just realized that
And I bet this video is gonna be epic
Sea giants are Atmorans. That will be my head canon until disproven.
Loved the animated illustrations! They were sick 😎💪🏼 awesome video as always Camel. 🔥
New Camel video?? Time to relax for 45 minutes ❤️ I absolutely adore your lore and facts videos. These greatly improve my days indoors!
This is like the first video of this channel I’ve watched like with almost all my attention cause gotta love that obscure lore and I cannot for the absolute life of me decide if this man is British or American or smthn else and I’m not going to find out
Wow, truly an amazing video like always camel, iv been here many years and I really appreciate the consistent quality, hoping more elderscrolls vids coming!
Thanks for the amazing video Camel !
Very interesting to learn about all these creatures! I literally knew none of this... even though I've heard some of the names in books etc but never knew a thing about these beasts
I really do hope we get an ES: Blackmarsh
Camel.. You make the best Elder Scrolls videos. Thank you ❤ and I did enjoy your documentary about the augur of dunlain, absolutely incredible!
Thank you Camel, this has been awesome. It's been a while since you gave us a really interesting ES video.
Just found this channel but I’m ready to spend the next month watching nothing but these videos
What we've got illustrators and voice actors coming in now? I'm pleasantly surprised
It would be awesome to see any or all of these creatures in future TES games!
Awesome video camel! Your wordplay is A1 as always! I have a question though, whatever happened to the monthly? I loved the series and was sad to see it go
Regarding the Mock Turtle, wouldn’t it be possible that the scute found in ESO is just a shedding of the Mock turtle in battle spire? He’s pretty big so it wouldn’t be surprising if he lived a hella long time. But don’t get me wrong, the idea of multiple mock turtles is pretty cool
Always love hearing people talk about anything relating to Akavir
I think it's also possible for the Gehenoth to be a kamal scout considering no one knows what it is. either its a scout and they don't know because the kamal have yet to arrive or they don't know because it's been so long since the invasion no one remembers.
And yet another great video by camel. Thank you for all that amazing content!
THIS WAS GREAT!!~
So glad you use more TES games than just the main 3!
(Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim)
Always glad to see TESO love and for the older obscure games!!
THANK YOU~
I love The Elder Scrolls universe and consider myself pretty well versed in Elder Scrolls lore but a few of these shocked me with the fact I'd never heard of them.
I love love love this channel, what a good episode.
Yo the crab drawing was cold af. Those 2 fish look like they got no idea how real it's a out to get.
The Lizardmen are cool!!
Argonian = Human
Lizardman = Ape
Closely related, but not quite the same
Sarpas, the winged argonians that live in the deepest parts of Black Marsh, are my favorites. They're only ever vaguely mentioned as attackers that wielded destruction magic to free their fellow argonians from South Morrowind. Unfortunately they did kill a few members of Twin Lamp in their rage and so they are widely hated by even the anti-slaver dunmer. All argonians are reptiles and each of them are based on reptiles (except Paatrus which are frogs) of our own world; Saxheels are lizards, Archeins are crocodiles, Nagas are Snakes, and Sarpas are dragons. I think a Sarpa dragonborn (although not lore-friendly since Argonians don't worship the Gods) would have been a really cool idea. Plus we'd be able to fly without buckets.
that some crazy lore that you have found there. thanks for those information man! too bad that the worm transport won't be implanted in argonia dlc
