MOOSE GLOW BALL! ??

Bjond

I'm sure that's not what Bosses really shout before a big attack, but it sure sounds like it. What are they really saying?

Interesting. Is there a (written) source for this or is it just what you're hearing? I could swear he's giving orders to his imaginary Moose. I do have subtitles enabled, but this shout doesn't seem to have captions.

It's from Skyrim. It's a whole dragon language. That particular shout summons a powerful, knockback blast. It made sure the best memes, back in the day.

Which boss are you referring to?

Sounds like dragon shouting. They speak their own language.

Bjond

Could be dragon, but the bosses that do it all use exactly the same sound-fx; double volume, pitch shifted an octave down, lots of reverb. From memory, Moongrave and Maarselok both do it (dragons), but so does the final Falkreach boss, which is a minotaur.

Could be saying "Moose go bawl!" or something else.

That's one hilarious practical joke there.

I still think it could be a Moose reference or maybe "Goose go brawl!" for particularly fowl attacks.

No glowing moose. Although if there were one, they'd end up making a mount out of it.....

It's a pity we can't somehow learn thu'ums as part of character development. Just think how useful "joor zah frul!" would be in Northern Elswehr!

Nothing official, just what i think they're saying. I spent way too much time in Skyrim ...
