Hoarvor

"Didn't anyone ever tell you not to sleep in the Western Cross? How're we going to exterminate all the hoarvors if you drunks keep feeding 'em?"

- Unknown Bosmer Archer

Hoarvors are insects native to the province of Valenwood and Black Marsh in.

Background
Described as horrible monsters, the hoarvor tick is the size of a large calf, with spiky legs, a beetle-like body, and a central spiral-bladed vortex of a mouth. The hoarvor uses its legs and body to pin down its prey, while their spiral-bladed mouth tears into the victim's chest. Before a hoarvor dies, it releases its prey, shivers once, then expels a burst of yellow bile.

Hoarvors are particularly notorious in the Western Cross of Falinesti, where they feed on and kill drunkards who have fallen asleep (most likely from drinking Jagga). Expert Bosmer archers in the Western Cross exterminate these pests in the mornings after revelry is held in Havel Slump, saving many drunkards from death.
