nervehorses

Nervehorses are a fictional species featured in the Elder Scrolls video game series, specifically prominent in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. They are equine creatures that are native to the Daedric realm of Oblivion. Nervehorses possess a distinctive appearance, often depicted with translucent skin through which their internal organs and musculature are visible, giving them a somewhat unsettling, ethereal, or even monstrous look. Their coloration varies but commonly includes shades of purple, blue, and grey, further contributing to their otherworldly nature.

These creatures are known for their agility and speed, making them formidable mounts or adversaries. In lore, they are sometimes associated with the Daedric Prince Jyggalag and his Knights of Order, serving as mounts for these beings. Their physiology is adapted to the hostile environments of Oblivion, and they are not found in the mortal realm of Tamriel under normal circumstances. Encounters with nervehorses typically occur during Oblivion crises or within Daedric planes. They are a visually striking element that emphasizes the alien and dangerous nature of the Daedric realms.
