Personnally for me, the most annoying creatures in Oblivion are the Will-O-Wisp simply because if your not strong enough, there absorb health attack recovers more of their health than the damage you do to them.
Other creatures are the Goblin Warchief, simply because they're a beast to kill (unless you have some luck with sneak attacks, I've had to pepper those things with arrows before they go down). Also the Wraiths and Liches just because before you get any decent equip they took me forever to kill.

I would have to say for oblivion, wolves, my computer always lags when they run by.
Morrowind, cliffracers. And the two dark brotherhood assassins who would pull the paralyze swords out and paralyze you, and the game glitches, and you never move again..

the invisible rats or anyone that used an invisible spell! my computer had that stupid invisible glitch, so i couldnt see anything anytime anything invisible was in the vicinity
other than glitches, the toughest to kill at first were the ogres
in the quest where you have to save the girl from the horde of ogres, i found out that ogres wont go in the water... so i had them chase me to the river, then got just out of range and beat them up with long ranged attacks while they just helplessly stared at me

O...k... why is everyone talking about Morrowind? That should be in the Morrowind section. Well, my most hated creature in (the realm) Oblivion is the Scamp (Clannfear's a close second), and in (the game) Oblivion, I hate Imps. Damn lightning bolt! And fire balls! And claws! (Imp) I hate it when they back up and keep throwing stuff at you! However, It's funny to see a Dremora to sheath his sword in the Imp! And, as a reward, I grant him the "gift" of death.

imps? I barely ever find them. but they are slightly annoying, the "stop throwing shock bolts at me" kind of annoying.
The Metal Mallet
Oct 3 2006, 10:25 PM
Yea, the only tough imps for the starting characters are the ones with shock bolt, since it's a harder one to dodge. I have yet to use a pure melee fighter yet though so I have no idea how tough they are melee to melee.
I definitely agree with everyone about the Gloom Wraiths, but what about the Liches? For ranged fighers they're sooo annoying because of their summoning ability. Once I was strong enough my tactic would be to stealth bow attack them, and hopefully they get knocked down/paralayzed so that I rush in and melee them before they get a chance to know what was happening.
Otherwise I would be running around their champion skeleton trying to get a decent bow shot while the Lich hurls pretty strong fireballs from their greater staff. Ugh!

My Battlemage can say that they're not hard to kill with a sword when you run out of Magicka!

Well I'm still voting for Spider deadra, because I can take most things out with my bow before they can get close to me. But the spiders summon these little things that stun you and they aren't usually alone.
But with my new character it is pretty annoying fighting atronachs

i think the minatours are annoying only because they take the longest for me to kill but other then that i dont really find any of them annoying not like in morrowind the stupid cliff racers omg those things were SO annoying i would hear them from miles away lol.

Bears are very annoying. They always cause you to stagger unless you have a high agility. Minotaurs are annoying too, because they always break our armor, and the unicorn is the worst because you can't fight back around it or it will turn on you and kill you.

The most annoying thing is that you have to fight regular animals. I have no problem fighting monsters but bears and wolves? They´re predators yes, but they should just do what the deer do and run away from you. Thanks to Sub though that problem is gone now

Other than that I don´t have any problem with what I encounter at this point. Lothran is strong enough to handle whatever approaches him

Yeah, the Sprigs, lions, bears and wolves on our game don't bother Buffy or Superian.
I think Buffy's biggest challenge comes from spider daedra because they embody the following collection of characteristics:
- Plenty of hitpoints.
- Self-healing spells.
- Very fast.
- Solid lightning ranged attack and strong melee ability.
- Immune to poison, requiring the extra step of using weakness to poison to bust the immunity.
- Summons a minion that can paralyze you.
- All of its abilities are immune to the 'silence' effect so you can't shut down its casting.
Now all that said, she can deal with them just fine. It just takes more planning and a few extra steps.

Imps. Imps annoy the crap out of me. They're slow and stupid, but what bugs me are the times I'm just walking along with my character enjoying some peace & solitude. Then an imp shows up.

They are easy kills, yes, but I don't always feel like bothering to fight them.
Usually my character might run from the imp for a bit. Since a lot of my characters prefer to walk, at some point we'll start doing so again.
wssssshh pushhhh! goes the imp spell. Arrgh!
Wolves are also quite annoying, mostly because they can run and they NEVER give up their chase. Again, I don't always feel like killing things. Lady Saga in particular is definitely getting SubRosa's Forest Friend mod, so the bulk of Earth-like creatures won't bother her. Which is how I like to RP her former life in Valenwood: she's friendly to a lot of animals in Valenwood, and vice versa.

Most annoying creature in Oblivion?
I'd honestly have to say mudcrabs.
They're never worth killing, but anytime you want to rest or sleep near lake Rumare you can guarantee there's one of the wretched things nearby that you've got to hunt down first.

I thought of mudcrabs (annoying creatures) but they're too slow and useless. Their pinchers are sharp though, and their meat is tasty.

I used to hate mudcrabs because every time someone went for a peaceful walk down the beach they had to seek out and destroy every slow-moving little fetcher before the battle music would turn off. By then the sun had usually set (vanilla timescale) and the mood faded.
Now I use a mod (
Trifle) that among other things lets me adjust battle music conditions. So my characters can stroll in peace, killing only the one crab that they want to eat and ignoring the others.
I find rats to be quite annoying. They’re too aggressive to ignore, not rewarding unless you like rat meat, and it’s embarrassing to miss when they’re jumping at you.
Acadian
Feb 26 2014, 02:59 PM
Grits, it's nice to hear someone else confess the dangers of rats. For a mystic archer, they really do represent a threat. They are about half the size of Buffy or Lildereth, a tiny target to hit with spell or arrow and they leap with surprising speed and unpredictability. Usually we can dispatch them from distance before they alert and go all elf-eating jumpy, but they definitely get Buffy's attention.

Before I got the Resized Passive and Quiet and the Forest Friend mods, all creatures were annoying!
Now they're no problem. Even the Will o'Wisps are tiny and passive. A walk through the woods is much peaceful now.
On the other hand, TIE makes the wolves gang up on you. And the bears are still crabby as ever.
But those are dangerous. Not annoying.
I guess the most annoying creatures are the Spider Daedra's Mini-Me's. I'm trying to get at the big one in the back there and I have to wade through all these little itty-bitty ones?? A good shock spell sure comes in handy at those times!
