📋 About This Mod



Shalks are large insectoid creatures native to Morrowind. They're prized for their meat, resin, and carapaces. They are usually docile until they are under attack and they will retaliate by spitting fire, this also means that they are resistant to fire.

Some time ago they were believed created by someone who resided in Stormfront Peaks, southeast of Riften. Because of this, a population of Shalks resides around there. How they have arrived in Solstheim is unknown, some say the Dunmer sent them there to be kept as livestock, only to have escaped and become wild Shalks.

- 2 Variants of Shalk

- Shalk resin, meat, and Chitin
