Nirnblooded Creatures

Nirnblooded are magical creatures imbued with Nirncrux. They were created by the Dreadhorn Clan with the aid of the blood rituals. Clan led by Gherig Bullblood utilized Nirnblooded animals and spriggans as their defenders in the ancient Nedic site - Bloodroot Forge. They have been summoned by a powerful Hagraven Caillaoife and by some of the Minotaur shamans to assist their clansmen in combat.

The blood magic ritual that alters and imbues with Nirncrux can be performed on wide variety of beings. Animals such as senche, bears and guars were subjected to the process of magical empowerment. The ritual affects the minds of animals, making them bloodthirsty and revel in the gore of their rider's battle fury.

Aside from increased strength and bloodlust certain Nirnblooded creatures obtain the ability to summon plant life such as stranglers and command lesser Nirnblooded beasts.

The ritual that alters animals with the power of Nirncrux can be performed on other beings than animals. Spriggans can also be subjected to this rite.

In 2E 582, the Dreadhorn clan was seated at the Bloodroot Forge. Their activities at the ancient Nedic site grabbed the attention of the Undaunted, which led to an assault on the forge. The Dreadhorn Clan called upon the Nirnblooded beasts and spriggans to defend against the invaders, but ultimately suffered defeat.
