The skeever is Skyrim’s giant rat and probably the first creature most players kill – right in the caves under Helgen during Unbound. They aren’t dangerous on their own, but they come in groups and can give you a disease.
Where to find them
Caves, sewers, cellars and ruins everywhere. The Ratway beneath Riften earned its name honestly.
Abilities & attacks
- Bite that can pass on a disease
- Often appear in groups
How to beat it
Any weapon will do. If you catch a disease, pray at a shrine or drink a Cure Disease potion.
