From their giant flea-like appearance to the way they're controlled everything about them gives me the creeps.
Any creepy TES fauna and flora you're not a fan of?
To me, it's quite the opposite! I feel like Silt Striders are kind of cozy, actually. What can be more comfortable and safe to travel than on the back of a big bug-giraffe? They are sweet, calm, non-aggressive, domesticated creatures.
