Horker (Skyrim)

Horkers are large, walrus-like creatures that are found around the Island of Solstheim and in the northern area of Skyrim. The Horkers of Skyrim are often hunted for their meat and tusks.

Bloodmoon
In Bloodmoon, they take the appearance of a walrus like creature with a tentacled snout. Hunted by the Skaal for their meat and tusks, horkers venture to Solstheim to mate.

The second omen of the Bloodmoon prophecy involves two dead horkers, found along the coast of Solstheim.

Skyrim
Horker resemble huge blubbery walruses with three tusks and large whiskers protruding from their faces. Horker are usually found near cold water, and there are many near the ocean. They are highly social and usually encountered in groups of three to five. If the player agitates or attacks one Horker in a group the entire group will become aggressive. Although resilient and fast in deep water, they are slow and easy to avoid and outmaneuver on land. This makes them easy targets, especially to long ranged attacks. They have two main drops: Horker Meat and Horker Tusks. Horker Meat can be eaten raw or cooked into Horker Loaf and Horker Stew. Horker Tusks can be sold on the market. They are aggressive towards predators such as Snow bears and Sabre Cats.
