Daedric Princes

[The Tom]

Well it's been shown that the bipedal human form is the most ergonomic and efficient evolution of life. I'm just curious as to why Mr. Forest would choose to live otherwise.

[kertaw48]

Because the developers of Daggerfall were too drunk (and possibly high) to come up with something worse?

I think he's the most mysterious Daedra, or at least the one that people know the least about. Perhaps he's just trying to keep up with that image. But being a man of knowledge who dwells in forests he really should have a checked jacket, long hair, a massive beard and possibly a hat of some sort.

[mptrj]

Maybe he's (rightly so) arrogant because he contains more knowledge than any mere mortal, so he chose a form that wasn't based off of any mortal creature?

And constantly saing "Man!" or "Dude!"...

Possibly... But he doesn't seem arrogant to me... Although he does contain more knowledge then most IMMORTALS...

This Daedra needs to exist... if in TES 5 they decide to introduce a new Daedra that had never been mentioned anywhere before like Jyggalag - this is the one. They can call him Dave or something. There aren't enough Daedric Princes with bloke's names.

"I arrived at the shrine of Keith and summoned him with a pork pie and a can of Fanta"

[The Raven]

[failburn x-wing pwn.

[kertaw48]

However other Daedra didn't like Keith or his normal name so they turned him into Jyggalag...
He was also not liked so they turned him into everybody's favorite Sheo...

But how did Keith come to existence?

[The Raven]

Do you dare question Keiths divineness? You must die, you eggpie!

[The Tom]

Keith always existed.

Introducing a new Daedra would be a cheesy TV-esque move to keep the series fresh. I'm sure that Bethesda love ES games enough not to start doing things like that.

Quotes 'n stuff, mention of new guy
"...new Daedra that had never been mentioned anywhere before like Jyggalag..."
The coming of Keith

Actually, Jyggalag was mentioned prior to SI, in the Dagerfall book "On Oblivion"...

[kertaw48]

Oh, I didn't know that book was from Daggerfall but I do remeber it from Morrowind...
Is it still in Oblivion?
Because then a lot of people should be ashamed...

Yes, it is in Oblivion, but I'm confused as to why would people be ashamed?

[kertaw48]

Because you should know it as well...

I say as well because I too forgot all about it too...

[Agares]

I think we're all forgetting about the long forgotten, short-lived reign of the Deadric prince Flatulus Maximus!

[kertaw48]

Is this an easter egg or what?

[mptrj]

Is this an easter egg or what?

It should be...

[kertaw48]

I googled it...
A powerfull Daedra indeed...

[ronenum]

oh course Daedra are not sex-specific. The only thing that makes mortals male or female is a few body parts wich change mood/personality. If the Daedra are turely deities then they are spiritual beings and have none of these.

It is likely that each Daedra appears as eather male or female based on their character in order to better 'sell' themselves to the mortal world
