From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kagouti are fictional creatures in the computer role playing game known as The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. They are bipedal with a short tail, large forward pointing tusks and a triangular snout. Kagouti are dangerous to low-level players who lack decent fighting skills because their attacks are stronger than most of the other creatures in the game. They can easily be identified from a distance which often allows weaker characters to avoid confrontation. Kagouti are related to guar. Guar are also bipedal, but have a longer tail, a rounded snout, lighter scaly skin and lack tusks.

[edit] Kagouti Mating Habits

Edras Oril writes in his book about Kagouti:

Observations made on wild kagouti in southeastern Morrowind. Kagouti do not seem to travel in large packs, as previously believed. Perhaps they group into larger packs when mating season is imminent. Females seem to be dominant sex. Males will bring gifts of food in exchange for mating advantage. Males sometimes attacked. Loud vocalizations heard exchanged (believed to be from males), especially at night. Fascinating. Males do not seem to engage in physical confrontation for reproductive rights. Some posturing, but no conflict. All kagouti display increased aggressiveness during mating. Must be careful not to be seen. Mating kagouti found to be increasingly territorial.
