Bog-rats are a subspecies of skeever endemic to the Vale of the Ghost Snake in the province of Morrowind on the continent of Tamriel on the planet of Nirn. They are used as sacrificial offerings to the Ghost Snake of the region. They have not been seen since the 2nd Era, and could be considered to be extinct in the wild.

Etymology[]

The subspecific name, "telmatoumai", is based on the Greek word "telmatoúmai", meaning "bog".

Trivia[]

  • As of Update 11, the quest notes for this rat reveal it to be "a rodent of unusual size," a reference to The Princess Bride.
