Lore:Silt Strider
Silt Striders are giant arthropods, which can be up to 60 feet tall. They are used as a means of transport in Vvardenfell and in the Telvanni Peninsula by manipulating exposed organs and tissues. Silt Striders are a resilient species whose tough carapace helps them survive the adverse environment of the island.[1] Silt Striders survived the Ash Blight that exterminated many of Vvardenfell's native creatures, such as the Cliff Strider.[2] Their numbers would however dwindle due to the coming of the Red Year, when the eruption of the Red Mountain killed most of them and destroyed their native habitat.[1]
Their limbs can be attached to ships for deep sea fishing; while their young's legs can be used for fishing rods.[3] Smaller Silt Striders known as Silt Hoppers are used as a mean of transport by Ashlander tribes. It is unknown if they are young Silt Striders or simply a minature species.
