[edit] Clanfear
Clanfear are dinosaur like creatures. They have a blunt head with horn(s). Their claws can be used for alchemical potions. They are associated with Mehrunes Dagon and can rarely be communicated with.
[edit] Daedra Seducers
These daedra spellcasters often wear little skimpy clothing. They can only be harmed by special weapons.
[edit] Dark Seducers
Although most Daedra tend not to communicate with the "mundane" world these spicy creatures are vocal to humans. They are from the Shivering Isles (Sheogorath's Plane of Oblivion) thusly they are always associated with Sheogorath. The Dark Seducers are the Guards of Crucible. They call themselves the Mazken.
[edit] Daedroth
These daedra associated with Molag bal have two legs and often the head of a crocodile and tend to use poison magic. They are both excellent spellcasters and melee opponents.
Note: Daedroth is the uncommon singular word for Daedra. It is unknown as to if the creature "Daedroth" have a more specific name. The word Daedra can be used as both plural and singular.
[edit] Dremora
Dremora seem to be the most sophisticated form of Daedra. They are human like in most every way. They have a human-like appearance. They have black and red armor on because they have the ability to chose their appearance at will. They have matching black and red skin as well and once killed become a pile of grey matter. The only thing left is the daedra heart which is a good alchimical ingredient. They often hold deadric weapons or dwarven weapons. There are a few "tame daedra". In a shrine in morrowind there is one that you can talk with. He is reserved but for a deadra that's a great feat. They can be great spell casters and are associated with Mehrunes Dagon.
[edit] Golden Saints
Golden Saints are associated with Sheogorath and the Dark Seducers. They are the guards of Bliss. They are like the Dark Seducers in everyway except appearance. They are equally matched but the difference is who they guard.
[edit] Hernes
Hunter daedra associated with mehrunes dagon and hircine. Possibly related to scamps and morphoid daedra.
[edit] Hungers
Hungers are ill looking daedra. They have a skinny appearance and tend to be associated with areas of blight especially in the game morrowind. It is good at destroying weapons and armor. It has a long tongue and looks demonic as well. It is stated in a loading Sequence for The Shivering Isles, the hungers feed off the pain and misery around them.
[edit] Morphoid Daedra
Hunter daedra associated with mehrunes dagon and hircine. Possibly related to scamps and Hernes.
[edit] Ogrim
Ogrims are large daedra. They are brutish and not spellcasters. Vulnerable to poison.
[edit] Scamps
Scamps are not associated with one daedra lord but most all of them. They tend to be on the mortal world for the sake of causing trouble. They are mischievous and like to carry out their prince's orders. They are weak and cowardly. Even though they have no one master Mehrunes Dagon is most often associated with the scamps.
[edit] Spider Daedra
Associated with Mephala these daedra have spider lower bodies and the upper body of a "human". They tend to be spellcasters and use their young as fodder. In fights they use shock spells and are not bad with a weapon either.
[edit] Vermai
Slightly intelligent daedra that are associated with Mehrunes Dagon. They resond to speaking but usually unintelligible.
[edit] Winged Twighlights
These are harpy like daedra. They have the body of a human with wings and a charred appearance they cause a lot of damage and drop void salts upon death. They are Azura's messengers and are resistant to fire, frost, poison and shock as well as good at reflecting spells.
[edit] Xivilai
Humanoid daedra with great melee attacks and spells. Often associated with dremora however they don't have a caste system. They can wield two handed weapons single-handedly and summon clannfears.
[edit] Knights Of Order
