* These are leveled creatures that grow stronger with the player.
Most creatures encountered in the game are generated from leveled lists. This means that the game does not usually specify the exact creature that you will encounter at a given location; instead it specifies that the creature will be picked from a list of possible creatures, based upon the level of your character when you enter the area.
The above table shows which creatures belong to each of the standard leveled lists, and the level at which you will normally start to encounter them. These are the typical levels, but exceptions do exist, which are detailed along with the creature statistics. Two common exceptions are boss-level creatures and creatures encountered along roads, both which will be encountered two levels lower than the typical level.

AnimalsEdit
Animals are non-magical creatures that generally rely upon melee-type attacks with their claws and fangs. Most animals are hostile. Several animals have resistance to frost; otherwise they have no magical abilities.
In some cases, the listed animals are primarily generated from animal leveled lists; these animals are commonly encountered along roads or in the wilderness, and are also found in several caves and some ruins. There are several animals, however, that are not part of these leveled lists, and there are other "nuisance" animals found almost anywhere. Specifics are provided with each individual animal.

- During Blood of the Daedra, it is possible to encounter three non-aggressive, leveled will-o-the-wisps at the Azura shrine; do not make the mistake of assuming that all will-o-the-wisps are like these three.
GoblinsEdit
Goblins are the most common type of monster in the game. Many caves, abandoned mines and forts are inhabited by goblins.
Goblins are very fast on their feet and in melee combat, and have a forward-jumping attack with a long range. They are typically armed with poor-quality, one-handed weapons or bows, though some are unarmed, and goblin shamans may wield offensive staves. Goblins may also use poisons to augment their damage. Goblins seem to love lockpicks; almost all goblins have a 25% chance of carrying two lockpicks. Except for Bitterfish goblins (which drop scales), they do not drop any alchemical ingredients when they are killed, though they may have coins and clutter objects. Many goblins are depicted as wearing armor, but except for occasional shields, the armor (often made of bones) cannot be removed.
Aside from random goblin encounters, there are seven tribes of goblins in the game, each inhabiting a specific cave or ruin. These tribes each have a fixed roster of goblins, so in these caves you will always find a predetermined combination of all five main goblin types, including a single goblin shaman and a single goblin warlord. The seven tribes are: Bloody Hand, Dust Eater, Rock Biter, Sharp Tooth, Skull Breaker, Three Feather, and White Skin. If goblins of opposing tribes encounter each other, they will fight each other to the death.
Most other goblins encountered during the game are not part of any tribe. A non-tribal goblin will not attack a tribal goblin upon sight, and vice versa. They are randomly generated from goblin leveled lists. If you enter a cave of non-tribal goblins early in the game, you may find only plain goblins; if you enter the same cave late in the game you will instead find multiple goblin shamans and goblin warlords. The Bitterfish goblins also fall in this group, i.e., this one tribe is made up of randomly generated, leveled goblins, and is the only tribe exempt from the tribal hostilities.

Mehrunes DagonEdit
Mehrunes Dagon is the Daedric Prince of Destruction and the main obstacle in the final events of the Main Quest. He is a large humanoid with four arms.
- Mehrunes Dagon is considered by the game to be a creature of type Giant, although he otherwise appears to be an NPC.
- He cannot be killed by mortals; the most that can be achieved by attacking him is to stagger him.
- If the 'kill' console command is used on him, Mehrunes Dagon seems to fall down like a balloon that is losing air.
- It is possible to kill him with Wabbajack.
- It is also possible to kill him with a Damage Fatigue or Absorb Fatigue spell, or a weapon enchanted with them.
- He has some spells with unique effects. These effects are known as "Mehrunes Dagon Custom Effect".
Siege CrawlerEdit
The Siege Crawler is an enormous, walking Daedric tank capable of overtaking or leveling entire cities.
- Encountered during the assault on Bruma during the Great Gate quest.
- Drops: Sigil Stone
- Its mission is twofold; to destroy Bruma and to prevent you from reaching the Sigillum Sanguis to claim the Great Gate Sigil Stone.
- It cannot be damaged, but will automatically be destroyed once the Great Gate is closed.
- Technically, it is not a creature but rather an "activator" in CS, which means its attacks, movement and death are all scripted.
