Kwama Warrior

Concept art for The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

I finally drew Gamergirl Azura and the Nerevarine... and they are canonically(?) enjoying some Kwama Quiche.

Why? Because if TES6 doesn't give us Kwama eggs at least twice the size of a mudcrab, what's the point? We need that protein for the next 15 years of waiting...

And yes, I actually made it In real life:

Review: It tasted like 10/10 Stamina regeneration.

A word on diet of a Nix-Hound.

The public's well aware, I think, these creatures are hematophages i.e. they drink the blood of other animals. But blood's not the only (and not the most important) fluid they sustain themselves upon. Egg yoke is—indeed: ransacking egg nests is the primary way Nix-Hounds menace other animals (almost all of whom, on Vvardenfell, are egg-laying). Also, Nix-Hounds are the primary predator of juvenile forms of Kwama—worm-like Kwama Foragers—whom they are able to dig out of the ground with their enormous, spade-like feet. Kwama eggs thus are the quintessential delicacy and given the ubiquity of egg mines on Vvardenfell, this has ensured domestication of the species by the Dunmer people. A more exotic still example of a food source are the bulbous pustules of some Bittercoast fungi which Nix-Hounds drain of their fetid liquid—thus, evidently, aiding the process of spore dispersal through digestive action.
