They are similar to wisps, hostile ethereal monsters which accompany wispmothers. Note that unlike other passive creatures listed here, whispering spirits are technically true creatures, as opposed to animated activators. They only chase the spirits before detecting you, after which they will continue after the spirit for a short time before turning their attention to you. This can provide both a humorous sight, and a helpful distraction if you come across already present enemies. Despite this, Bonemen, Wrathmen, and Mistmen will all give chase to these creatures, either by running after and trying to attack them, or using ranged attacks. You are unable to interact with them yourself in any way, as any attack has no effect on them. Some follow set routes, and some seem to just fly around randomly. Whispering Spirits are invulnerable wisp-like creatures you can find within the Soul Cairn. You can kill it with a close range weapon like a sword. If you wait about 30 seconds, its circling flight pattern will bring it closer. ĭuring the quest To Kill an Empire, a hawk passes very close to the middle of the bridge between the towers. As of current patches the Hawks activators will respawn on the same standard 10 day cycle as everything else. Once they respawned, they became invincible. A good strategy is to attack hawks when they are in their nests using a low power spell such as Flames, rather than Fireballs or arrows, to keep their bodies from being flung out of sight.Īt one point Hawks could be killed only once. Hawks will have a nest nearby that they return to from time to time.

If the body flies too far the arrow can detach from the body and instead fly up into the sky. They can be killed with magic (including non-damaging spells like Courage), a few shouts ( Animal Allegiance, Soul Tear, and Kyne's Peace), or shot with an arrow, although this may fling out of sight, as they are very light. They can be shot down, yielding hawk beaks and hawk feathers those pages provide details on where hawks can be found. Hawks are birds that can be seen flying around Skyrim. Technically, these are not even true creatures, but are more similar to scenery: animated effects that can be activated (typically yielding an ingredient or food), but have no other activities. Skyrim contains many passive creatures, creatures that are completely unable to attack or harm you.
