Clannfear (Oblivion)

"The feral, beastlike Daedra like the Clannfear...appear in the service of many different Daedric Powers, and may represent common creatures existing like wild animals in the wildernesses of Oblivion."

- Varieties of Daedra

Clannfear are animalistic Daedra and were one of the primary assailants in the attack on Kvatch.

Characteristics
The Clannfear's heavy strike and Reflect Damage makes it especially deadly to melee fighters. Fighting it from a distance is advised. Counteracting its reflect capabilities with magic is also advisable.

Clannfear prefer to engage foes in a bee-line strike. Standing still is not effective against this tactic. Summoning Daedra or Undead can serve to distract them, while the caster flanks the clannfear.

Those with low Agility can be staggered or knocked back by their headbutt attacks.

Strategy

 * Paralysis spells help with dispatching them. Spells such as drain may deplete their fatigue, forcing them to remain inert, while ranged magic or arrows can be used.
 * Additionally, like most Daedra, they suffer penalties when struck with shock spells.
 * Clannfear may find it difficult to climb some steeper stairs, such as those in the Kvatch gatehouse. Climbing up stairs and using magic or ranged attacks is quite effective, though the Clannfear may lunge towards their attacker.

Advantages

 * Reflect Damage
 * Resist Fire

Weakness

 * Weakness to Shock

Drops

 * Clannfear Claws

Clannfear Runt
Clannfear Runts are smaller and weaker than normal Clannfears and don't drop Clannfear Claws. All of them are level 5, and they only appear in Oblivion Gates when the Hero is at lower levels.

Summon
Using the Expert level Conjuration spell Summon Clannfear, players can summon Clannfear. These Clannfear do not drop Clannfear Claws, but they can be soul trapped. Xivilai, Dremora, and Mythic Dawn cultists can summon them.

Trivia

 * A stuffed Clannfear can be obtained with the Battlehorn Castle plug-in if several Clannfear Claws are given to Melisi Daren.
 * The Clannfear appears to be a mixture of a real-life Triceratops and a Velociraptor.
