ES4: Shivering Isles - Interview @ Killer Betties

Killer Betties is the next site to have an interview on Shivering Isles, with Bruce Nesmith providing the answers this time around:

There are 10 new creatures in Shivering Isles. How many of these are completely new creations and how many came from past Elder Scrolls games? Which new creatures can you currently tell us about and how they exist and battle against the player within this world?

It depends on how we define creatures. Golden Saints and Dark Seducers are from past Elder Scrolls games, but they're actually NPCs in the expansion, so the player can interact with them outside of combat. For actual creatures, there are a couple that have been pulled from past games, such as the Flesh Atronach and the Hunger.

Another fun new creature is the Scalon. They're these large, hulking creatures that live mostly near water. They're strong, but they're sneaky. Some of them have a bad habit of turning invisible when they detect the player, then leaping a good distance to attack. It’s fun to watch players jump in their chairs when they are attacked.
