Every herd needs a leader, and on a lonely rock off the coast of Solstheim that leader is Lord Tusk. Introduced in the Dragonborn add-on, he is a unique horker twice the size of an ordinary one – 22 levels higher, with 270 more health and 95 more stamina. He fights in the same way and at the same pace as his smaller kin, he just hits harder.
The bloodied skulls scattered around his resting place hint at a darker diet. He even carries four skulls of his own, which rather settles the question.
Lord Tusk vs. a normal horker
| Horker | Lord Tusk | |
|---|---|---|
| Level | 3 | 25 |
| Health | 175 | 445 |
| Stamina | 180 | 275 |
| Size | Normal | Twice as large |
In other words, he has well over twice the health of the animals around him and noticeably more staying power, which turns a routine horker hunt into a proper fight.
Where to find them
- Horker Island – a small island east of Skaal Village,. Lord Tusk lounges there with a herd of regular horkers.
Notes
- If Lord Tusk becomes hostile, the other horkers on the island loyally join the fight, so attacking him means taking on the whole herd.
- He is mentioned briefly in Saden’s Journal.
- His drops are a horker’s usual meat and tusk plus four skulls.
