Creatures from SI

Will we use some of the creatures from SI in Hammerfell? It seems like many of them are lore friendly...

Aren't they unique to the Shivering Isles?

I suppose the undead could be okay though. At the very least the Flesh Atronach.

EDIT: @Orix, yeah I forgot the Hunger. He's fine too.

Well, there were plenty of Hungers milling about in Morrowind, I remember coming across quite a few in tombs among the undead.

Personally, I think some daedric creatures can be spread across realms. Some are attriubted to one daedra, like Winged Twilights to Azura, but dark seducers were attributed to Dagon at one stage, but now also Sheogorath, I'm sure there are more examples. Of course, none of that stopped them hanging about together in daedric shrines in Morrowind

That said, creatures that are known to be unique to the Shivering Isles should probably stay that way.

what about those small frog-looking creatures?(can't remember their names)

I read something about them in "from frog to man", but I cant remember if it stood anything about if they existed in tamriel or not...

Grummites are the human turning type I think, and Baliwogs are amphibious too. I can't see either of those fitting in Hammerfell personally, more Black Marsh than anything.

However, the skeletons and animations we gain from creatures in the Shivering Isles is a great resource to use for our own creature models.

Grummites are rumoured to be "the original inhabitants of the Shivering Isles" (if such a thing is possible), and also the game mentions how "they seem ungrateful to their creator Sheogorath" (or something like that), so it seems highly unlikely that they would be encountered outside of the Shivering Isles, seeing as they appear linked integrally to the SI and Sheo.
