Wamasu[edit]
The Wamasu (also called Wamasus and colloquially, Swamp Dragons) are large reptilian beasts that hail from the province of Black Marsh, known for their lightning powers and tough exterior. Their existence is largely shrouded in myth by anyone other than the Argonians, only ancient tales from Nordic explorers and hunters are privy to their existence. The expedition of Sotid Blood-Rood and stories from the northern men have been the best source regarding them.

Watcher[edit]
Watchers (also called Doom-Truths) are flying tentacled Daedra with a large eye in the center of their body. Watchers are quite nimble, and can shoot beams of energy from their large eye. They are often found in the service of Hermaeus Mora, but they are known to serve other Daedric Princes, such as Molag Bal and Vaermina. Locking eyes with a Watcher is dangerous; a mortal's soul can be eaten away if one stares too long into their large central eye. Some Watchers have a necrotic gaze, causing the skin on a mortal's face to tear away if they stare too long. The term 'Pocket Watcher' refers to watchers that are far smaller in size than the average watcher. These are occasionally kept as pets by some warlocks.
Welwa[edit]
Welwa are great four-eyed beasts, with thick pelts, tails, and savage teeth. They hunt in packs.
According to tapestries in the Crystal Tower, the early Aldmeri settlers of the Summerset Isles encountered welwa, depicted as strange, holy ravagers, and saviors of the land.[1] Led by Torinaan, the Aldmer of Auridon drove them back using ancestral magics,[2] and eventually the welwa of Summerset were driven to extinction.[3] In Yokuda they were considered myths, and described in their ancient texts as having 'the jaws of a bear, and the charging strength of a boar'.[4]
Welwa continued to inhabit the wilds of Craglorn on mainland Tamriel. They are often domesticated and armored by the Iron Orcs of the region, who use them as war beasts. In the Second Era, the Sapiarchs of the Crystal Tower reintroduced welwa to Summerset Isle by bringing in mated pairs from Craglorn. These welwa quickly spread across the wilderness of Summerset, although many inhabitants of the Isle were displeased with their reintroduction.[3]

The most common of lycanthropes found in Tamriel. They are monstrous, wolf-like creatures taller and broader than man and mer, and are capable of moving on two limbs or sprinting on all four. They can attack with both their claws and teeth, inflicting lycanthropy with their bite. Those with the beast blood are prone to violence, whether accidental or intentional, as they live with a constant bloodlust which drives them to kill and devour their enemies. Werewolves are widely feared and hated in Tamriel, and will be attacked on sight if spotted in beast form. While Sanies Lupinus causes all werewolves to transform under the influences of the moons, the members of the Circle can control their beast forms. In return they must serve Hircine in the afterlife. Silver weaponry is very effective against werewolves.

Werewolf Lord[edit]
Not much is known about werewolf lords except that they are savage leaders of a lycanthrope pack. Like man-beasts, their werewolf appearance is beast-like even while in a humanoid form. they seem to be more intelligent and less primal and are able to cast magic and use weaponry. The most notable was one of the first turned werewolves, Vykosa, who was so powerful that she could even bend the will of other werewolves.
Werewolf Behemoth[edit]
The Werewolf Behemoth was a form of lycanthrope discovered circa 2E 582 by Archivist Ernarde of the Silver Dawn at the behest of Vykosa the Ascendant. During his efforts, to strengthen the Moon Hunter Pack, he found a way to alter a werewolf's transformation to turn them into hulking monsters of considerable strength and size. This allowed his test subjects to become unstoppable warriors should they survive the experiments.[8]

Wispmothers are magical energy beings found in the wilds of Tamriel, primarily in Skyrim. These spirit women appear to be either a higher form of Wisp, or creators of them. Able to teleport and restore their health, Wispmothers can also summon multiple shades, which are weak clones of themselves. Killing a Wispmother causes all of its attendant Wisps and Shades to die. More powerful Wispmothers are also capable of some form of necromancy; where they send out wisps to possess and reanimate nearby corpses.
Many legends and theories exist which seek to explain the true nature of the Wispmother. Locals variously believe them to be remnants of the ancient Snow Elvesghosts (as supported by their tapered ears) or natives of Hjaalmarch. Master Sadren Sarethi proposed that they are a forgotten type of lich from the First Era. Lydette Viliane of the Synod proposed that they are elemental personifications of snow or mist.[11]

Wormmouth[edit]
Wormmouths are bipedal reptiles native to Hammerfell. They are related to guar, alits, and kagouti. These vermin have a maggot-shaped body propelled on two legs, and have a beaked mouth that is almost as large as the rest of their bodies, making them resemble a mouth on legs. Sharp teeth line the inside of their mouths, and their backs are lined in plates of armored scales. Due to Hammerfell's arid environment, wormmouths get their fluids from the plants and animals they eat, but they are also known to prey on people. Their tongues are sometimes harvested for alchemical purposes. Wormmouths appear to range in height from the size of a large rat to as tall as an alit.
Though they typically dwell in the arid regions of Hammerfell, the Nubbed Wormmouth is known to dwell in the mountains located along the cold border between Skyrim and Hammerfell. Although native to Hammerfell, Wormmouths were also known to inhabit Vvardenfell during the Second Era.

Vilkas is a Nordwarrior and a werewolf, usually found within Jorrvaskr in Whiterun. He is a member of the Circle, a faction within the Companions, alongside his twin brother Farkas. Vilkas is a master trainer in the Two-handed skill. When the Companions questline is complete, he becomes a potential follower and marriage candidate.
Vilkas's outfit consists of a set of wolf armor, with matching gauntlets and boots, but minus the helmet. He also carries around a banded iron shield and his sword. He is usually found around Jorrvaskr. However, if he becomes recruited as a Blade, he will then reside in Sky Haven Temple.
If you ask who the Companions are, he will answer: 'You'll hear some of the brighter faces around here talk about honor and glory. I've got nothing against it, but for me, the promise of coin is what feeds my blade. Wherever someone in Skyrim doesn't feel up to defending their own honor, we'll take up their burden.' If you ask as to why he joined, he will elaborate: 'To hear Farkas tell it, our father raised us here as happy pups, running around biting knees. I love my brother, but his brains are not his strong suit. We were brought here by Jergen. Whether he was our father or not, I don't care. He left to fight in the Great War and never came back. So he's not my problem anymore. We've been here as long as either of us can remember, though. So try to show some respect.'
After joining the Companions, if you ask what it means to be a Companion, he will explain: 'There's been a group called the Companions for over 4000 years. It's been many different things in that time. A conquering army. Ruthless mercenaries. A band of drunken louts. And the esteemed company you see before you. But there's always been a kind of honor to it. We don't deal in politics or underhanded sneaking. We try to uphold the legacy of Ysgramor. To bear his good name such that it never be forgotten, and always be spoken with reverence.' Also confronting him on where he stands on the current war, he will blatantly tell you: 'There are always good reasons to fight. I just wish this war had them. Who cares who worships what dead god? Give me something to make me draw my sword.' If you choose to ask his opinion on being a werewolf before Blood's Honor, Vilkas will be quick to dismiss your question: 'I don't know what you're talking about. But if I were you, I'd hold my tongue.' However, if you ask the same question after becoming initiated within the ranks of the Circle, he will answer very differently: 'I've enjoyed the boons that come with beastblood. Just like every member of the Circle. Kodlak is right, though. We've given a piece of our souls for this power. I know my mythic histories. Bargains like that lead to ruin. This is a curse that was laid upon us. That much is clear.'

Quest-Related Events[edit]
Take Up Arms[edit]
When you first speak with Kodlak Whitemane about joining the Companions, Vilkas can be found in Kodlak's quarters in the living quarters having a conversation with Kodlak:
Vilkas:'But I still hear the call of the blood.'
Kodlak:'We all do. It is our burden to bear. But we can overcome.'
Vilkas:'You have my brother and I, obviously. But I don't know if the rest will go along quite so easily.'
Kodlak:'Leave that to me.'
When you approach Kodlak to express your interest in joining the Companions, Vilkas will interrupt the conversation while Kodlak is considering your offer, showing that he disagrees with Kodlak allowing you to join:
Vilkas:'Master, you're not truly considering accepting him/her?'
Kodlak:'I am nobody's master, Vilkas. And last I checked, we had some empty beds in Jorrvaskr for those with a fire burning in their hearts.'
Vilkas:'Apologies. But perhaps this isn't the time. I've never even heard of this outsider.'
Kodlak:'Sometimes the famous come to us. Sometimes men and women come to us to seek their fame. It makes no difference. What matters is their heart.'
Vilkas:'And their arm.'
Kodlak will question your skill in combat. Regardless of what you say to him he will direct you to follow Vilkas out into the courtyard for training practice. If you ask him if he's supposed to train you before you reach the yard, Vilkas will tell you: 'Not here. Out in the yard. Come on.' Once you've exited out into the courtyard, Vilkas will then explain: 'The old man said to have a look at you, so let's do this. Just have a few swings at me so I can see your form. Don't worry, I can take it.' Depending on your performance, he will comment on your skill. Afterwards, he will then order you around: 'You might just make it. But for now, you're still a whelp to us, new blood. So you do what we tell you. Here's my sword. Go take it up to Eorlund to have it sharpened. And be careful, it's probably worth more than you are.'
Purity of Revenge[edit]
After Kodlak has been slain by members of the Silver Hand upon your return back to Jorrvaskr, Vilkas is looking to seek revenge for his death and asks you to accompany him to Driftshade Refuge and to retrieve the fragments of Wuuthrad. He will say either: 'We're going to make them pay.''Those bastards will regret raising their weapons against Jorrvaskr.' or 'Let's get back to Jorrvaskr. We'll want to pay our respects to Kodlak's spirit.' Once you return from Driftshade Refuge, Vilkas will tell you: 'We did well today, Shield-Brother/Shield-Sister.' and continue to inform you about Kodlak's funeral: 'The others have probably prepared Kodlak's funeral by now. Come up to the Skyforge to pay your respects.'
Glory of the Dead[edit]
After Kodlak's funeral, the rest of the members of the Circle will gather in the Underforge. Upon arriving, a conversation between them will occur, discussing Kodlak's passing:
Vilkas'The old man had one wish before he died. And he didn't get it. It's as simple as that.'
Aela:'Being moon-born is not so much of a curse as you might think, Vilkas.'
Vilkas:'That's fine for you. But he wanted to be clean. He wanted to meet Ysgramor and know the glories of Sovngarde. But all that was taken from him.'
Aela:'And you avenged him.'
Farkas:'Kodlak did not care for vengeance.'
Vilkas:'No, Farkas, he didn't. And that's not what this is about. We should be honoring Kodlak, no matter our own thoughts on the blood.'
Aela:'You're right. It's what he wanted, and he deserved to have it.'
Vilkas:'Kodlak used to speak of a way to cleanse his soul, even in death. You know the legends of the Tomb of Ysgramor.'
Aela:'There the souls of the Harbingers will heed the call of northern steel. We can't even enter the tomb without Wuuthrad, and it's in pieces, like it has been for a thousand years.'
At this point, Eorlund will enter, carrying the legendary Wuuthrad.
Eorlund:'And dragons were just stories. And the elves once ruled Skyrim. Just because something is, doesn't mean it must be. The blade is a weapon. A tool. Tools are meant to be broken. And repaired.'
Vilkas:'Is that? Did you repair the blade?'
Eorlund:'This is the first time I've had all the pieces, thanks to our Shield-Brother/Sister here. 'The flames of a hero can reforge the shattered.' The flames of Kodlak shall fuel the rebirth of Wuuthrad. And now it will take you to meet him once more. The rest of you, prepare to journey to the Tomb of Ysgramor. For Kodlak. As the one who bore the fragments, I think you should be the one to carry Wuuthrad into battle.'
You are now directed to meet the rest of the members at Ysgramor's Tomb. Upon your arrival, asking if this is the tomb, he will elaborate: 'This is the resting place of Ysgramor. And his most trusted generals. You should be cautious.' Asking him specifically what he meant, he will continue: 'The original Companions. Their finest warriors rest with Ysgramor. You'll have to prove yourselves to them. It's not that you're intruding. I'd wager they've actually expected us. They just want to be sure that you're worthy. Be ready for an honorable battle.' Inquiring as to how to get inside, Vilkas will tell you: 'Return Wuuthrad to Ysgramor. It should open the way.' Also asking him if he's not coming, he will sadly admit: 'Kodlak was right. I let vengeance rule my heart. I regret nothing of what we did at Driftshade. But I can't go any further with my mind fogged or my heart grieved.' Once you've cleansed Kodlak's spirit and become the Harbinger of the Companions, you are able to cleanse Vilkas' spirit during the quest Purity.
Notes[edit]
Skyrim Official Site
- Vilkas is in the faction GuardFaction. This makes him chase you on sight when you have a high bounty in any given hold.
- A bug during the quest Purity of Revenge may cause him to run and cower whenever an enemy is sighted instead of help you fight.
- Before the quest Take Up Arms or after the completion of Glory of the Dead, Vilkas may be encountered roaming Skyrim with Ria as a random encounter.
- In Lithuanian 'Vilkas' means 'wolf' .
- Vilkas has an unused dialogue choice where he can be asked 'What's it like being a werewolf?' and he would reply 'I don't know what you're talking about. and if I were you, I'd hold my tongue.'
Skyrim Wereboar Mod
Bugs[edit]
- If recruited as a Blade, he will travel back to Jorrvaskr instead of staying in Sky Haven Temple. ?
- If you leave Whiterun while training with Vilkas, you may not be able to buy or sell with any merchant, gain dragon souls, or interact with any NPC, nor will you be able to have a follower as they will not follow after being asked. ?
- Due to his status as a guard, he may start to follow you around and initiate dialogue repeatedly if you have a bounty. This can continue to happen even after you have removed the bounty, and may also prevent fast travel.
- Regaining a small bounty (even a zero value bounty) and then paying it off with a guard may fix this.
- This can be corrected by entering the following console command: paycrimegold 0 0.
- He may sometimes attack you if you transform into a werewolf.
- If Hearthfire is installed, he may not have the 'How are the kids?' dialogue option.
- He may stop offering radiant quests after you retrieve the fragment of Wuuthrad from Dustman's Cairn. ?
- After finishing the companions quest line, he or Farkas may not have a dialog option to get work from them, thus making the purity quest impossible. ?
- This is usually not a bug as it usually occurs when taking only one Glenmoril Witch's head during Blood's Honor quest. First acquire all or at least two for both Vilkas and Farkas (there are five heads in total). Then head back to Jorrvaskr and speak to Farkas or Vilkas (whoever didn't have quests to give) and they will start their Purity quest. Once that is complete they should start to give out normal quests again.
- You cannot sleep in Vilkas' bed to gain the Lover's Comfort bonus if you've agreed to stay at his home.
- This bug is fixed by version 2.0.5 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch.
- You can, however, sleep in your own bed in the Harbinger's room to gain the bonus.
