The Udyrfrykte

For other uses, see Uderfrykte.

"His ancient name was the Udyrfrykte, though the settlers knew him only as death. The Udyrfrykte came to the newly completed mead hall and wreaked vengeance upon those who had shattered the peace of his long, cold sleep. He killed without warning, without mercy, reducing the Thirsk Nords to half their number."

―Bereditte Jastal^[src]

TriviaEdit

• The Norwegian words "Udyr" and "Frykt" respectively translate to "Beast" and "Fear."
• The Udyrfrykte has elements very similar to Grendel from the epic poem "Beowulf."
• In Agnar's Journal in Oblivion, an "Uderfrykte" is referred to, but, though the spelling in Morrowind is different, it describes the same creature.^[1]
• The Udyrfrykte is most likely a troll. While no other trolls appear in Bloodmoon or Morrowind, its successors in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and The Elder Scrolls V: Dragonborn use standard troll models.
  • In Oblivion, the Hero of Kvatch fights the Uderfrykte Matron as part of the "The Horror of Dive Rock" quest.
