Trivia

Daggerfall's creature art is an interesting mix of hand-drawn work and rendered material. All of the creatures, in fact, originally had 6 frames to every animation, but this had to be chopped down considerably to compress the size of the game-- which was already monstrously large for the time it was released.

The only remaining trace of these orginal detailed animations is in a 'bestiary' video describing several of the creatures of Daggerfall.
