I'm collecting ingredients for the Taxonomy of Obsession quest in the Shivering Isles.

I only need Hound Tooth and Void Essence and I've got them all.

There's never any of these creatures (Skinned Hounds and Flesh Atronachs) around when you want them is there?

Any body got any idea where I will definitely come across them?

Try stone ruins for the atronachs and Dementia swamps for the hounds.

Managed to get them at last!

Struggling with the next part now - can't seem to get the expert level command creature spell to work on a baliwog! The beggar won't follow me!

Are you on PC? Honestly, just use the console to spawn one beside Mirili and savescum until she subdues it properly. That quest is impossible.

Honestly, it's the only quest I didn't do yet. Patience of this magnitude is something I don't have..

Done it - seems that she wants to kill the first ones you bring to her. On about the third attempt she takes you in her house for your reward!

She glitched insanely in my game; first she took a nice walk to Bravil, talked with people there and such... Then she decided to go back home. After getting to the Shivering Isles portal, she probably forgot how to step through it, as she keeps bumping into it all the time..

Lucky that it worked on your third attempt. At certain levels it becomes nearly impossible for her to subdue the creature, and you need to help heal both of them while they fight.
