📋 About This Mod
With this mod, the swamps of Morthal will now be a dangerous place. Monsters emerge from the muck if you stray too close. The more you are splattered with their flesh, the harder it will be to escape. Can you master their power for yourself?

To uncover the secrets of the Bogmort and learn how to create a Bogmort Thrall, go to the Summoning Stones and search for a knapsack...but be ready for a fight. (Location is north-northwest of Morthal.)
What...what are they? Read the lore book in-game for more info/speculation. But basically the bodies that are left in Morthal swamp are rapidly decomposed, then their skeletons are used as the core of these muddy beasts. They are related to a creature in Elder Scrolls Online.
What is the cumulative effect you mentioned? As you fight them, you will be covered in mud from their attacks. As this mud accumulates, your movement and attack speed will decrease. If you let too much mud accumulate on your body, it will be very difficult to fight or escape.
If you start to become too muddy, try to get away from the bogmorts to allow the mud to fall off before continuing to fight.
Bogmorts without weapons will splash mud on you every time they hit you. Bogmorts with* weapons can only splash mud with their ranged spew attack.
What are their weaknesses/resistances? Bogmorts are 70% resistant to fire, since their wet mud acts as an insulator. They are 30% weak to shock, since their water conducts electricity but their dirt resists it and heats up, hardening into fulgurites. They are 100% resistant to poison and disease.
Do the Bogmorts level with the player? Yes, within a certain range. High level players (> lv60) will not have much trouble with them. Very low level players (< lv5) should probably avoid the swamps.
Does the Bogmort Thrall count against my follower limit? It counts toward your animal follower limit, not the human follower limit. (Note that this is separate from the Creation Club pet limit.)
I can't find the knapsack? Search behind the stone pillar at the west end of the Summoning St
