Knight of Order[edit]
The Knights of Order are mindless Daedric[nb 1] soldiers resembling crystalline-armored knights. They serve the Daedric Prince of Order, Jyggalag, and make up one part of the Forces of Order, which also includes the Priests of Order and Jyggalag. Their origins and their goals are unknown. They are soulless warriors that kill without hesitation, and it is therefore highly advised to destroy them on sight. They are said to be without "a bit of original thought in their lifeless husks". They are only ever encountered during the Greymarch at the end of every era, during which they are summoned to the Shivering Isles via the Obelisks of Order that dot the landscape of the realm, wreaking havoc in anticipation of Jyggalag's return. The Knights are drawn to Obelisks like "flies to honey", and are summoned by Priests of Order though chanting and rituals.
Knower's Eye[edit]
Knower's Eyes, (also known as Watchful Lights, and Eyes of Mora) are Daedric minions of Hermaeus Mora native to Apocrypha, taking the form of massive, floating green orbs resembling eyes. They possess the ability to captivate those who gaze upon them, diverting the attention of nearby foes and diminishing their combat capabilities. At times, they are observed patrolling landmarks in Apocrypha and firing green beams at intruders. Individuals who have been granted one of the brief yet powerful blessings, referred to as Verses, from Hermaeus Mora himself, can conjure and command the Knower's Eye in combat up to a certain extent. These blessings are direct bestowals from Hermaeus Mora, intended to aid and alter one's exploration within the Infinite Archive.
The Eyes of Mora may evoke terror, death, and despair for some, but they also serve as vessels for storing information. Dedicated followers of Mora take care of these floating eyes, tending to them like books on a shelf. These eyes are extracted from the countless orbs that comprise Hermaeus Mora's essence. Each eye, contains a memory personally witnessed by Hermaeus Mora, reserved as a significant recollection. To access one of these stored memories, one must physically enter the eye, which typically requires a key, a pass phrase, or another method of gaining access.
Scholars questioned whether they are sentient beings or mere extensions of Hermaeus Mora. However, they agreed that the presence of consciousness does not always indicate independent will. These entities exhibit controlled movements, resembling observation, and serve as a source of light within Apocrypha.

Kollopi[edit]
The Kollopi are arboreal rodents that live in the province of Valenwood, mainly in the Graht-oak trees such as Elden Root and Falinesti. They feed off the tender, albeit slim branches of the graht-oak, which is why they are harvested by the local Imga. They are experts in collecting these creatures from the ends of the canopy, using their talented dexterity.
Kotu Gava[edit]
Kotu Gava (or Toku Gava),[8][9][10] known as Hummerwings in Murkmire,[11] are large and vicious mosquito-like flying insects found in Black Marsh, Hew's Bane, and Summerset.[12][8] Their bite is known to be very unpleasant.[13] Kotu Gava Broodmothers are female Kotu Gava who produce a large amount of spawn.[14]

Kwama Warrior[edit]
