Like Skyrim, Cyrodiil contains many passive creatures, creatures that are completely unable to attack or harm you. Technically, these are not even true creatures, but are more similar to scenery: animated effects that can be activated (typically yielding an ingredient or food), but have no other activities.
Aquatic CreaturesEdit
Fish can be found in most large bodies of water. Look for insects flying above the water to find fish below. The following fish yield items of the same name unless otherwise noted.
Golden GillEdit
Golden Gills yield Golden gills, an alchemy ingredient.
Heartland HighfinEdit
Heartland Highfins yield Heartland highfins, an alchemy ingredient.
Nibenay SnapperEdit
Nibenay Snappers yield Nibenay snappers, an alchemy ingredient.
Nibenay TroutEdit
Nibenay Trouts yield trout meat.
Rainbow FishEdit
Rainbow Fish yield Rainbow fish, an alchemy ingredient.
FoodEdit
These animals are found dead, usually hanging upside down near a fire or in the wilderness.
Charred RatEdit
Charred rats are found around bonfires, typically in bandit camps or goblin camps. They yield rat meat when activated.
Nibenay Trout (dead)Edit
Hanging Nibenay Trout, just like live Nibenay Trout, yields trout meat.
InsectsEdit
BeetleEdit
Beetles can be found during the day; each insect yields one beetle, an alchemy ingredient.
Buck MothEdit
Buck Moths can be found during the day; each insect yields two buck moth wings.
DragonflyEdit
Dragonflies yield black dartwings or green dartwings. They can be found during the day, often over water.
Emperor MothEdit
Emperor Moths can be found during the day; each insect yields two emperor moth wings.
Gypsy MothEdit
Gypsy Moths can be found at night; each insect yields two gypsy moth wings.
LadybugEdit
Ladybugs can be found during the day; each insect yields one ladybug, an alchemy ingredient.
Other CreaturesEdit
Black EagleEdit
Black Eagles are birds seen flying around Cyrodiil. Just like, Skyrim's hawks, they can be shot down, yielding one black eagle beak and three black eagle feathers.
