Skyrim:Lurker

A Lurker

Lurkers are Daedric creatures that come from the murky waters of Hermaeus Mora's realm of Apocrypha. They appear as giant amphibious humanoids, and serve their Prince by guarding forbidden knowledge. Lurkers attack with swipes of their huge hands, and use their long legs for stomping attacks, which have a 100 point stagger effect within 16 feet. They can also attack from afar by spewing tentacles from their mouths. They are very dangerous opponents, and should be fought one at a time. They also have the ability to regenerate health.

Lurker Loot

A Lurker Sentinel

• 250-600 leveled gold
• (10x) 90% chance additional 1-9 gold (average sum of 45)
• 1 enchanted necklace, ring, or circlet
• 50% chance of either slaughterfish egg, slaughterfish scales, horker tusk, or netch leather
• 25% chance for an unenchanted ring
• 25% chance for an unenchanted circlet
• 25% chance for an unenchanted necklace
• 20% chance for a random soul gem (3x more likely for it to be empty than full)

Notes

• The Soul Tear^DG shout will successfully revive Lurkers as allies, unlike Seekers.
• The Unrelenting Force shout will not knock down a Lurker, even with all three words.
• Lurkers are susceptible to Paralysis so poisons of Paralysis can be very useful in taking them down. Even though they have a resistance to poisons, poisons of lingering damage health can help combat their constant health regeneration, especially notable when playing on a harder difficulty (Expert and up). If you utilize the fortify restoration glitch, you can make poisons which will easily counter their fast health regeneration, or keep them paralyzed for a long time. Similarly, you can also stack the Marked for Death and Drain Vitality Shouts to gain a further edge.
• Lurkers can get knocked off/can fall off whatever platform they may be standing on and sink to the bottom of the brackish "water" in certain chapters of Apocrypha. Once this happens, the only way to find where exactly they are is through the Aura Whisper Shout and/or the Detect Life spell. Once it is dead, it is advisable to not enter the water to find the body as the water is opaque black and finding the body will be nearly impossible.

Bugs

• If you use the Ice Form shout on one and follow up by hitting it as it stands, it may hover motionless slightly above the ground and remain that way until killed. ^?
