Ask id say the ascended sleepers are the creepiest for me. It’s horrible to think that that used to be a living breathing mer just like the rest of us.
You missed the creepiest creature in Morrowind, Crassius Curio. As for your list, I don't find any of those creatures to be creepy, but some of them are on my list of most annoying creatures.
The Ash Zombies hold their creepy nature through Ghosts of the Tribunal CC for Sky rim because you actually get to see the depth in the cavity of their faces
They just replaced every deep lore details with "go pick this up" or "go kill this". A lot of people claim that the design philosophy of later installments is more geared towards world exploration, but imo they fail at that too because of fast travel. The world feels smaller when you replace transportation systems like silt strider or intervention spells with fast travel. So they not only butchered lore and deeper, diverse story telling, they also cut out open world exploration. So making the map bigger does not equal more exploration.
The dreugh are even worse when you consider that, according to old legends, they used to be a highly intelligent species that ruled the world before the First Era and served Molag Bal.
I remember being 12 and exploring dunmer tombs, opening a door and seeing a bone walker staring up the stairs at me. Next thing I knew I couldn't move.. Great memory.
When I was a kid still playing on orignal xbox back in like 2003 the Ascended Sleepers really freaked me out. I had a nightmare once I was in one of those sixth house bases and all the red lights and bells were going off and no matter how far I ran the cave just got longer and longer and the Ascended Sleeper was right behind me the whole time.
Once, when I was playing as a kid, I was exiting a cave, and a hulking corprus monster spawned right on my head. Only time I've screamed playing a game.
I love this game SO FREAKING MUCH, and I'm so privileged to be able to play it and enjoy it such a gem, even though I didn't grow up with it, the atmosphere, the world building, the lore, the great antagonist that Dagoth Ur is made Morrowind one of the greatest experiences I had in video games! I can't imagine how magical it was to experience Morrowind back in the day.
It looked very realistic. My pentium 4 processor could handle it decently (but struggled with Oblivion few years later so I had to update it lol). I was still kinda new to pc, in the 90s I was a console gamer, had it all from super nintendo, sega genesis to first playstation (which is still my favorite console). Moving to pc in early 2000s was mindblowing. I never played an open world game before (and we called them "open ended" back then), and realizing I can walk anywhere, enter every house, talk to anyone, pick up anything... it was the most amazing moment in gaming for me.
@@boreanknight I imagine that you felt the same thing I felt when I first played Skyrim in 2011, the scope, just the idea, that you could walk pretty much anywhere, was magical. Skyrim still holds a special place at my heart, but I can't deny that Morrowind made me fell in love with Elder Scrolls all over again. Thanks for the response Boreal Knight, loved your new vid!
@@rockerrrboy8501 I love hearing stories from fellow Elder Scrolls fans, so thank you! And glad you like the video, I have more coming up later this week.
It was incredible playing it when it first came out. I remember I saw my cousin playing it at his house and I was just absolutely blown away by the freedom and choices you can make. "Woah, you can go in the houses??? You can choose what you say and speak about??? That's so cool!"
The Udyrfrykte was the most terrifying thing I'd ever seen in a video game as a kid. It's a special, one of a kind creature but man did it give me nightmares.
Dreugh and House Dagoth enemies always gave me chills, but I personally found the Winged Twilight as a personal top for me. The eerie pained and fury-filled wail when not in combat could always be audibly heared and especially within darker environments. And when they see you, theirs hate filled eyes lock onto you with a single-minded focus to tear you apart. Also their screams following their devastating attacks really bring fear to lower level adventurers
I'll always remember the first time I ever encountered a Lame Corprus. I was on my way to the Urshilaku camp for the first time, and thought I had a handle on the game and what was in it. I was on an ash dune and someone had come in to talk to me. I was telling them about the game I was playing. I turned back to my computer to show them something, and suddenly there was a Lame Corprus in my fact attacking me. Massive jumpscare combined with "What the hell is that thing?!"
I think we met the same Lame Corprus. For some reason, this guy was walking aimlessly around the area. I was too weak to kill it faster than it regenerated, and it would follow me from very far, so i had to lead it somewhere very far away and then run for long enough to unload it
The Daedroth always freaked me out when I was little, plus the fabricatnts in tribunal we're pretty scary in a "big robot velociraptor" kinda way! Love the format on this one dude, hope you're well.
*Insert "Cliff racer should be number one comment" here" Also this video really made me think about how they became even scarier within the atmosphere of the game. The dreamers where bringers of nightmares, but I distinctly remember getting (kind of) jumpscared by a bonelord because of them blending into the background and then having to load a quicksave after getting killed. Fun first encoutner.
Ugh. Bone lords are aesthetically the worst. If the player tries to get in a sneak attack he will never know how when it springs, and, when it does, approaches at such a speed that will terrify a level 50 character.
The Greater Bonewalker is one of the cruelest enemies ever made. I still remember my naked run back to town when I fought my first one. Imagine it from an in game perspective. You enter a tomb. You're confronted by a hulking zombie made of a stitched up meat bag of reanimated bones. You fight it and kill it to find yourself too diseased and weak to actually leave and you are left to die there. You become the next bag of fettid meat for protection of the tomb
This game is straight up creepy, the first time you encounter a dreamer, the first time you get woken up by the ash ghoul or whatever, the noises you hear around red mountain etc. Oblivion and skyrim don’t hold a candle to it
I love how these videos take me back to how scary my first playthrough was(besides the Xbox load times, which was the scariest part of dying), I don't know how much being scared was from being younger versus just not being desensitized to video game monsters. I remember waiting in game until morning before delving into tombs and caves, just because the thought of going in one at night seemed terrifying, not that it mattered in-game
Morrowind creatures scared me a lot as a kid. It was a palatable horror game at that age, especially when you add in glitch jump scares (I had the Xbox version).
Ash zombies because no face and dreugh because they are on their own elements in water and i hate objects in deep water. Actually i hate them all little bit. I remember my first panic attack when i meet ghost and have only rusty iron axe.
If you look closely all the high end corprus people are dunmer while the corprus stalker is not grey and therefore not dunmer. In the imperial legion one of the forts had a soldier come back and die, but divayth fyr says that the corprus people are immortal. It's probably because Dagoth Ur made the divine disease super racist and kill non-dunmer.
For me, it’s the fact that they can’t be identified from a distance and the unexpected speed when you get close enough to aggro them. My first encounter with vampires in Morrowind was in a crypt near Ald’Ruhn - I thought they were bandits until they turned around and sprinted toward me while screaming.
For me the top 3 scariest creatures in Morrowind has to be Draugur, Bonelords and Werewolves. All spawn in dingy environments, all can tear you to shreds one way or another, all move really fast and unpredictably.
No Draugr? I suppose that's Solstheim but I never fail to be jump scared by them when I play through Bloodmoon, I'm always expecting them but it's still terrifying when you turn around and one is right in your face
I remember when i used a spell to take control of one only to bring it town name it Gerald then unleash on an npc i didn't like then me and Gerald just started living in that house
About the corpus stalker, they are mostly former imperials or other Nwah. Its pretty simple actually, dagoth ur follows his goals and for those he sends the touch of the divine from the heart of lorkhan in his blight winds across the land. If Dunmer feel the touch they end up sleeper, then ash slaves, ash ghouls , then either ascended sleepers or ash vampires dependend on what they are good at and how devout they are. if they resisted, failed or are not devote enough? to his goals they turn into ash zombie, with their face and brain and partly mind gone. Everyone else he wants to purge from vardenfell and as such the blight winds turn into a disease turning those touched into corpus stalkers and even more deformed lame corpus not much more than beasts with their minds lost and their bodies deformed by the disease. SPOILERS: As an interesting point in the course of the game we end up with corpus disease and while we deal with it, its never really "healed", the negativ effects are taken care of but there is no healing. The disease actually turns the player immune to age and other diseases, but we still have corpus disease.
It's a shame that all this creepy monsters turn out to be so underpowered. Those you would expect to end you in one hit, just cast some crappy spells. And others that should inflict some nasty debuffs and curses, just 'bare fist' you. At some point I even wanted to do a complete rework of their abilities and stats.
Oh wow, that ascended sleeper artwork is amazing! Do you happen to have a link to a good quality copy of it by any chance? And on the subject of the video, I know that this is going to get some raised eyebrows, but what gets my vote (& I specifically mean the Morrowind version) is the scamp. There's just something that is so sinister about their faces that every other version of them has failed to capture. They're the type of creature who I have no problem imagining slipping down an unsuspecting family's chimney in the dead of night and absconding off with the children to subject them to all manner of sadistic and horrible things. Great video dude and the perfect example of the outright superior design work at play within Morrowind's development. It's just so obvious with retrospect how the game was more than just a job for so many of the people involved. It was a labour of love that's showcased in so many aspects of the game, from the world, to the creatures and the freedom from so many of the conventional trappings of a fantasy setting. They managed to create a world that is at times truly alien.
I always felt the same about scamps in Morrowind! Small enough to crawl and hide under bed and tear you into pieces just for fun. I personally find human sized creatures scariest and large ones don't scare me much. Those artworks are from Legends card game, there's a good selection on UESP wiki. I'll find the link and post it here in a bit, i'm on phone now.
I think it's meant to show how Ascende Sleepers consider themselves "enlightened" and above the world of mortals who are nothing but bugs to them, always busy in meaningless, day to day life. That's at least my interpretation. Also, sorry for late reply.
The busy busy busy comment can mean people get distracted easily. Failing to learn because of how they rush and worry instead of slowing down to think and learn. People won't learn until they slow down and think instead of making excuses to be cowards.

Morrowind had so many unique creatures compared to later installments

Part and parcel with being a superior quality game to anything they've put out since.
The dreugh are even worse when you consider that, according to old legends, they used to be a highly intelligent species that ruled the world before the First Era and served Molag Bal.
That's a really interesting piece of lore because it's so weird. Was Lyg a continent like Tamriel?
@@boreanknight You can make the theory that Lyg was like Pangea in our on world in a other circle.
There's a theory that suggests that was from a previous kalpa cycle
They come from the lyg no?
I mean they're still intelligent
I remember being 12 and exploring dunmer tombs, opening a door and seeing a bone walker staring up the stairs at me. Next thing I knew I couldn't move..
Great memory.
When I first played I was around that age too and the ash zombie attacking me while I was asleep scared the crap out of me.
@@TheNemkris that would have spooked me too!
When I was a kid still playing on orignal xbox back in like 2003 the Ascended Sleepers really freaked me out.

We forgot the creepiest creature of them all: Crassius Curio.
He's quite the predator.
Morrowind's P Diddy
I find that with the age of Morrrowind the old jenky graphics and animations only make these creatures more freakishly Creepy
Once, when I was playing as a kid, I was exiting a cave, and a hulking corprus monster spawned right on my head. Only time I've screamed playing a game.

Used to scare me too, and I totally missed it out. I may have to do another video lol.

And when they see you, theirs hate filled eyes lock onto you with a single-minded focus to tear you apart.

winged twilight is so hot I could make her wail if you know what I mean

There are so many terrifying things that want to end you or make you suffer in Tamriel, it’s truly astonishing lol.
The vampires are very scary too, with they scream and white eyes
For me, it’s the fact that they can’t be identified from a distance and the unexpected speed when you get close enough to aggro them.
My first encounter with vampires in Morrowind was in a crypt near Ald’Ruhn - I thought they were bandits until they turned around and sprinted toward me while screaming.
the hunger appears to be a wendigo
I said the same for Devourers in TR when I played, instantly reminded me of wendigo.
As a kid I always thought the Kagouti were so scary 😄I would gladly take refuge in an undead-infested tomb to avoid those!
so you're afraid of rhinos?
Winged twilights are creepy.. when you know how they feed their young.
no, actually they are hottt ;))
Ascended sleepers are by far the creepiest to me
For me the top 3 scariest creatures in Morrowind has to be Draugur, Bonelords and Werewolves. All spawn in dingy environments, all can tear you to shreds one way or another, all move really fast and unpredictably.
Morrowind draugrs are much scarier than Skyrim ones. I almost included them on my list, maybe in next one.
The Hunger reminds me of Crawling Death by Beksinski.
after my option was always the Limping Corprus the most scary. It also looked disgusting, but i never were afraid of any of them
No Draugr? I suppose that's Solstheim but I never fail to be jump scared by them when I play through Bloodmoon, I'm always expecting them but it's still terrifying when you turn around and one is right in your face
I considered them and they were almost on this list, I'll definitely include them in the next one.

Ascended Sleepers are awfully haughty for people who have had their brains removed and replaced by tentacles.
The devourer reminds me a bit of the Deathclaws
nice video! btw you forgot to mention that one mf in ebony armor in Mournhold
Ash ghouls would be scary unless you watched a majjic media video where the ash ghoul sounds like a damn clarinet.
@crimson7925 That's kinda creepy, gotta check it out.
