"Nix-Hounds are medium-sized green bloodsucking arthropods somewhat resembling hounds, native to the province of Morrowind. They hunt in packs and generally inhabit the badlands of that province. They have also been known to be captured and domesticated by the Dunmer, whether for the purpose of combat, guard, entertainment, or simply as pets. While usually vicious predators, when tamed they are well-known to be affectionate, attentive, and faithful pets that will follow their owners around. They are also commonly used as trackers and watch-hounds. They were brought to Solstheim by Dunmer immigrants, and many strayed ones nowadays have adapted to the environment, living in wild packs and reproducing by themselves nowadays as a wild species of the island. Nix-Hounds were used as war-dogs in the House Dagoth, and Ashlanders use nix-hound parts in a variety of their tribal customs. The New Temple use the husks of dead Nix-Hounds as guardians, re-animated using the Dunmer's Holy Necromancy.

In combat, these hematophagous use their proboscis to inject poison, and to suck blood from their victims, like mosquitoes.

Nix-Hounds are close relatives of Nix-Ox, Nix-Horse and Nix-Aphid, the latter being also known simply as Nix-Hound too in some regions, although both are considerably different, in shape, color and size. The meat of Nix-Hounds is known to be tender and sweet, and Dunmer eat it raw.

In Tribunal mythology, Nix-Hounds were originally created by one of the God-Kings of the Tribunal, Vivec, as instruments of war. They were used by Morrowind to hunt Dreughs, in a "time-lost campaign against the Altmer of the sea". It can be assumed that they were let free or escaped, and thereby began to populate the province, accord
