The drip-feed of media from The Elder Scrolls Online continues, as developer Zenimax Online releases another brief in-game clip showcasing the Scamp, the pesky little long-eared, fireballing throwing Daedra that should be familiar to players of Morrowind and Oblivion.
Even though the Elder Scrolls setting is generally serious, we all know that there’s plenty of humor to be found. The scamp’s behaviors (especially its melodramatic death animation) can be comical, but they fit its size and attitude very well. Its abilities— like fireballs launched from its hands and raining from the sky—are intense and serious, and make it feel bigger than its voice and actions really are.
The scamp’s voice also has a little humor to it. Several of the monsters in ESO speak their own special languages that aren’t comprehensible to the player. Every now and then, you’ll hear the scamp gibbering away crazily in its own little language, which is known to get a laugh or two when noticed. Be careful, though! The scamp is still dangerous, and you may find yourself locked in a deadly, fiery battle if you spend too long giggling.
Watch the brief video below, and head over to the the official website for some more details and concept art.
