Some concept art for the vaalsark, originally intended to be an NPC race in a large skyrim quest, but then downscaled at least for now to be released as a playable race. More information: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloa.....e.php?id=13561

They were based off of a subterranean predator I designed for the mod (having been artificially created from them), which in turn was based off in part off of depictions of anubis, hence the oft-noted resemblance.
