By Shane gro-Orath (Clever, no? Ha ha!)

A is for Alit, a two-legged lizard

With enough underbite to swallow a wizard.

B is for Banekin, a mean Daedric minion

Whose masters are found in the Planes of Oblivion.

C is for Chaurus, big bug of the snow lands

Don't try to pet, or he'll snip off your hands!

D is for Duneripper, of desert so deep

It'll chomp off your legs from below as you sleep.

E is for Eagle, so loved by the Elves

They plaster its image all over themselves.

F is for Faded Wraith, haunting the tomb

Lurking in dark to deliver your doom.

G is for Giant, of Skyrim I've heard

He keeps woolly mammoths, and tends to his herd.

H is for Hoarvor, huge tick of the wood

Who's eager to catch you and drain all your blood!

I is for Imp, an obnoxious pest

Who'll fry you with spells for the sake of a jest.

J is for Jackal, who haunts Bangkorai

With mouth at the right height to nip out your eye.

K is for Kwama, in Morrowind found

They live in bug tunnels far beneath the ground.

L is for Lamia, snake-hag of the wild

Who hopes she might corner a young little child.

M is for Mudcrab, annoyance ubiquitous

Nasty, unpleasant, ugly, iniquitous.

N is for Nix-Hounds, pack-hunting bug

Alchemists render their flesh to make drugs.

O is for Ogre, whose wits are quite dim

But if one should catch you, your prospects are grim.

P is for Pigs, relatives of the Boars

That Wood Elves will ride instead of a horse.

R is for Raven, dark Nocturnal's totem

I hear hers can talk, and then you can quote 'em!

S is for Spriggan, root, bark and bough

It hides in that thicket, it's watching you now!

T is for Thunderbug, vast shocking beetle

Its pincers will get you, or its serrated feet'll.

U is for Undead, necromancy's slaves

Apocalypse comes when they rise from their graves.

V is for Vampire, ready to drill ya

'Cause she's got a case of Porphyric Hemphilia.

W is for Wisp, evil glow-ball that beckons

Don't follow, or you'll be seen no more, I reckons.

X is for Xivilai, Daedric assassin

Who'll pop off your head on a whim as he's passin'.

Y is for Yokudan Warhorse, the Forebear

Knight's mount that he rides off when he goes to warfare.

Z is Zombie, you knew they'd be last

Run, don't be walking; some are quite fast!
