    "Small and pesky lesser daedras, of little intelligence and modest magical abilities, Scamps and Banekins should not be, at first sight, a matter of concern for prepared adventurers, however, in large numbers, these two species can be a nuisance even for the most fearless warrior. Both species are extremely common in places where mages dwell, and among some cultures they are highly preferred pets.

    The Banekin is a small daedra that resembles a winged humanoid with a mottled bluish-gray body covered in spikes from the neck to the end of the small tail, which also sprout from the limbs and shoulders. They have pointy ears, hands with sharp nails, forked feet that end in two thick claws, a pair of long horns on their head, and glowing blue eyes as if they were made from Azure Plasm itself. They can speak rudimentary Tamrielic and are sometimes used as familiars by powerful sorcerers. Banekins are agile daedra, but their small wings are of little use, serving only to help them leap higher. They use modest shock spells in combat, although visually striking. Considered very agitated and mischievous, not all mages, vampires, or even other daedra tolerate their presence in their domains. They are also documented as an invasive species in Soul Cairn, like Daedrats.

    Banekins are primarily associated with Molag Bal and the Prince's realm, however, Dagon also created his own subspecies of Banekin, resistant to fire, and capable of manipulating it, on a small scale. These Banekins have red skin and glowing crimson eyes.
