"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 The Elder Scrolls Online.

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.

Attacks

• Bite: standard attack
• Bloodletting: Sucks the blood of their victim, giving them rapid health regeneration
• Latch On: Only occurs when a player is at low health. The Hoarvor latches on its prey and start tearing at its chest causing instant death.
• Blood Spit: Hoarvor have the ability to spit blood at a short range. This is indicated by a radius marker in front of the bug. This is the weakest attack the bug can deal.
