They could even have some relation to the Rootworms, the eight-foot-long worms which inhabit the trees of Black Marsh. The Alik'r Desert could have enormous creatures shifting beneath its surface, making dying from the heat or starvation seem like a welcome respite. With so little lore about them, the Spikeworms could be the perfect candidate. The Elder Scrolls 6 should look for an opportunity to have large burrowing creatures in the Alik'r Desert, whether it ends up returning to the Spikeworms or not. Aside from what can be inferred about their appearance from their name, however, very little is known about the creatures.

Spikeworms only get a very brief mention in the game but are confirmed to live in the Alik'r Desert. Spikeworms have only ever been mentioned in one Elder Scrolls title, the often-forgotten The Elder Scrolls Travels: Shadowkey released by Vir2L Studios back in 2004. Hammerfell is home to the Alik'r Desert, and ever since the release of Dune no fantasy desert has been complete without giant, terrifying worms burrowing under the sands. RELATED: Two Specific Games Are Going to Make This Decade One to Remember Spikeworms Here are just some of the area's monsters that could replace dragons as the next game's open-world boss fights. Hammerfell and High Rock have some great lore and diverse landscapes, but The Elder Scrolls 6 will need to find some monsters to rivals Skyrim's dragons if its world is going to feel as dangerous.

Although little has been revealed about the game since its announcement at E3 2018, a small detail found in Starfield's E3 2021 trailer resembled an outline of the two provinces, leading many Bethesda fans to conclude that, like Daggerfall, the next game would take place across both regions. Hammerfell and High Rock are the top contenders for The Elder Scrolls 6's setting. Dragons were so central to Skyrim, however, that their return in The Elder Scrolls 6 seems unlikely.

Their return fueled the game's main plot, while the creatures themselves provided evolving boss battles throughout The Elder Scrolls 5.
