From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Scribs are creatures from the game The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.

Scribs are the late larval stage of the kwama. They resemble large whitish bugs with eight jointed legs. Scribs are found throughout Vvardenfell, however unlike kwama foragers and most other creatures they will not attack. They are quite possibly the weakest creatures in the game, with the exception of kwama queens who are unable to defend themselves at all, and so are useful for beginning players to use to improve their skills. A problem with this is that on occasion they will cast a spell that momentarily paralyzes players, which would be problematic, however the scrib rarely hits and the spell commonly lasts about two or three seconds.

Scrib jelly can be found on dead scribs and may be used with ash salts to make cure blight potions. Scrib jerky, which is made by drying a sliced scrib, restores fatigue, however players can only find it in containers and shops, not on scribs themselves. Both ingredients are a staple of Vvardenfell cuisine, making Kwama mines all the more valuable. Miners in eggmines discourage players from killing scribs, in part because of the resources that can be gained from them, but also due to the fact that they are larval and can become any other type of kwama.
