About the Beasts of Vvardenfell
Scribs
"Scribs are the larval form of the Kwama, and can be found out and about in the world. They are normally non-hostile, and exceptionally docile, often times approaching adventurers out of curiousity as they travel along the roads of Vvardenfell. The docile scrib is often seen as adorable in its own insectile way,
which makes attacking one frowned upon by the people of Vvardenfell. However, for those of you who wish to throw down with a Scrib, be aware of a few things.
1- They have a venom that can paralyze even the hardiest adventurer.
2- They can carry communicable diseases.
3- You will be seen as an asshole by your fellow man and mer.
Do everyone a favor and leave the poor kid alone, you heartless monster."

Cliff Racer
"Now, for something a little less pleasant. If ever one were to take a stroll along the foyadas of Red Mountain, as one is sure to do on a daily basis, they should keep their head on a swivel and their hand in the quiver, as these detestable, awful, creatures are sure to be around in droves.
For everything a Scrib isn't, a Cliff Racer is. They will descend upon an unknowning, weary traveller, and peck them to death, be it out of hunger, or for the sadistic pleasure of sport, no one knows. What is known is that their plums are used in many special potions and concoctions, so be sure to harvest your predator after you finish defending yourself."
"Supposedly, a Dunmer by the name of Saint Juib the Exterminator was supposed to have exterminated them all years ago, however it must also be stated that Dunmer are known to excacerbate claims, especially those that make Dunmer seem superior than they are."
Netch
"These interesting creatures can be found floating through the skies of Morrowind. Looking like a particularly leathery jellyfish, Netches act like cattle, and are often treated as such by the people of Morrowind.
However, despite being relatively docile creatures, Netches are still dangerous, having barbed tentacles just like a normal jellyfish. They will lay anyone flat in a second if they or their herd feel threatened. This makes the harvest of the primary resource of Netches- their leather- particularly dangerous for Netchimen.
Other than that, the creature is relatively useless as its flesh in inedible, and the jelly is secretes is a form of neurotoxin."
