Talk:Torch (Skyrim)

I've yet to see this mentioned elsewhere, so here goes. While it's been documented that enemies will stagger and receive fire damage when bashed with a torch, it seems Horkers have a slightly different reaction. Near the Dainty Sload, a trio of them noticed me nearby and decided to attack. When hit with my torch, they retreated into the water, and refused to engage me again. I also entered Brinewater Grotto nearby and tested it out with another trio of Horkers and the reaction was the same. After being hit - though the effect was much more muted compared to that which a humanoid being suffers - they headed towards the water and remained there for a while. I stayed there about a minute of real time and they didn't attack me.

Does this happen with other animals? If so, does it merit a mention in the main article?
