Nereid

Nereids are mer-like, feminine water creatures found near bodies of water, such as rivers, lakes, and the sea, thoughout Tamriel. Nereids can be either benevolent or hostile, and can sometimes be twisted into the latter by actions that impact the areas they protect.

Nereids that linger near corrupted waters may have green skin and black bile coating their chins and throats.

Skills and Abilities

As nereids are considered flying creatures, snares and roots are ineffective against them. Nereids are weak to fire, thus using fire-based attacks against them may stun them briefly.

Frost Bolt

The nereid throws a ball of ice at its target as a basic ranged attack, dealing minor frost damage. It can be cast while silent.

Icy Geyser

The nereid causes a jet of water to bubble up beneath its target's feet, indicated by a red circle, which then bursts after a delay, dealing moderate frost damage. The nereid can use this ability once every eight seconds, and can be used while silent. The red circle tracks movement briefly before becoming static when the eruption occurs.

Hurricane

The nereid creates a swirling vortex around itself, dealing constant moderate frost damage to all targets standing within the doughnut-shaped red area (i.e., only the area between the two concentric red circles actually deals damage). This can be interrupted to set the nereid off-balance. It can be cast while silent. (Not all nereids)

Chilled

Getting hit by nereid attacks may apply the "Chilled" status effect, which deals minor frost damage and slows down for a short time.

Fortifying Aura

The nereid floats up high in the air and becomes basked in golden magic, creating a circular aura around herself that improves the damage output of the undead enemies near her. If all of her boosted allies are slain, the nereid disintegrates instantly. (Shada's Tear (Hall of Worship)-specific)
