Painted Troll[edit]

A painted troll

Painted trolls are a strange form of troll created by the Brush of Truepaint. They are weak against turpentine, which can be applied to a weapon as poison when fighting them. The first six trolls were created in 3E 433 as guardians by a foolish Bosmer or Altmer thief (reports vary) who tried to steal the brush from its owner, Rythe Lythandas. The trolls turned on their creator and killed him. The fat of Painted Trolls is very useful in alchemy, and by 4E 201 Rythe was apparently creating his own trolls in order to extract the rare ingredient.

Parrapton[edit]

A Parrapton

Parraptons are insects typically the size of horses that are used as aerial mounts by House Dres, and are kept in stables resembling tall saltrice silos. They are similar to giant wasps, they have multifaceted eyes and other qualities reminiscent of them. Following a strict hierarchy, approval from the queen is needed to ride her children, who is a behemoth twice the size of her kin. Such an audience must not be taken lightly, for she may deny a request for fear for her children's safety. Furthermore, the queen also handpicks which of her children is best fit for the rider. Riders powder their hands and rub them together to signal to their parrapton, which depending on context, will signal when they are to fly or land. A parrapton is no longer a drone when the queen selects a mate.

Psijic Mascot[edit]

Psjiic pony, bear, guar, wolf, and senche

Psjiic Mascots are creatures of the Psijic Order's design, said to be illusory constructs created from Magicka and conjured in the shape of their conjurer's desired creature form. They are distinguishable from common fauna by having arcane body imprints that the Order's monks use themselves. Although the beasts most commonly have a blue runic psijic imprints imbued within them, some are conjured with red imprints that represent a monk's regrettable choices. Some are conjured for use as pets, and others are conjured in a mature form to use as warmounts. There are rumors that the Psijics use them as portable storage batteries of Magicka.

There is also speculation on if the mascots are truly magic constructs or rather real animals with an enchanted appearance. The Psijics refuse to clarify the true nature of these creatures.
