Dog (Oblivion)



Dogs are animals which can be either aggressive or passive depending on their owner or the actions of the player. They can often be found with bandits, marauders, or in Skyrim, owned by NPC's. They will howl if they find a dead body. They're not the biggest threat to a traveler as they have no resistances, yet also have no weaknesses. They also don't drop any kind of significant loot. They will normally bark if any intruders enter the house they live in, and in the cases of Luna and Daisy they will attack anyone who has their sword drawn. Occasionally, a hostile dog can be found in the Imperial City Sewers. In Skyrim, a dog can be bought from Markrath stables (located in the western region) for 500 gold.
