The Silt Striders are among the largest insects of the swamps of Morrowind, standing up to a hundred feet tall. The shells of tamed Silt Striders have be carved in a manner allowing them to carry passengers, by an art practiced since time immemorial. Many owners of these creatures offer travel services across the more dangerous parts of Morrowind, a very successful business, due to the safety offered to those inside the Strider's shell. Others ride the great beasts into battle, towering above the enemy and raining arrows upon them.
