Nix-ox mount: a flea, NOT a tick

Random pet peeve of mine. Ticks are arachnids..they have 8 legs. The flea analogy is much better...

That is all...

    I was just thinking how much it looks like a giant flea. That thing is hilarious. Especially when you press jump while standing still and it tries to buck your character off. So funny. I was laughing out loud.

    Thank you ZOS for the Birthday presents. <3

    The mouth isn't disturbing enough to be a flea or a tick.

    The only problem is, the Nix-Ox has pedipalps, which classifies them as chelicerates and thus more closely related to arachnids.

    So they're actually mites, as mites can have anywhere from two to four pairs of legs.

    Can we at least all agree how cute it looks?

    Huge applies for sure.
    So huge.
    Super huge.

    Edit: Ok, I can't let that go. Pet peeves should not be random. They are deliberate and important. Anything else might qualify as an irk at the most. That's all. Be assertive with your pets. Caesar out.

    I think this Nix-ox is kind of cute if we put it beside a typical spider and take a closer look of their faces ;).

    It's a Nix-Ox. Never heard of this "flee" you speak of, I have seen frost bite spiders... They are clearly not that...

    Maybe you Altmer should try leaving that island every once in a while

    to note: it might be just as (or more) exciting trying to stay on this "FLEA" than a Nix-Ox. :p
