I think he might be referring to the cliff racer...
Cliffracers, Fredlaus, are basically flying vermin in the game likely modelled on the prehistoric pterodactyl. They love to attack the player incessantly, and it does not matter how many you kill.. they continue to respawn. Even better... usually they attack in swarms, and have an ear-splittingly unpleasant "Scree" cry. Indeed, the devs actually have admitted that their number in the game and respawn rate was a mistake. And yet... somehow I miss them when playing other ES games.. go figure..
Though, interestingly, some people when playing Skyrim, if they are familiar with Morrowind, will call dragons "Overgrown Cliffracers," because dragons in Skyrim can be just as annoying.
Sonja, You should start to write the history of Bethesda from a player's pow :-)
Enclavekiller, the birds or dragons came in all shapes throug the mythological variations. They picked their beasts from their own culture. The nordic variations were based on what they were told or "seen abroad" - to them they were always dragons. It is a question of imagination and phantasy and that's something that is not copyrigthed by Bethesda. I am sorry for my eager explanation and no offence of course!!
