I'm sorry, but rockjoint is the one disease that actually is tetanus.
It's literally a stiff cramp.
It's even spread by every animal that bites you.

You should take a look at the diseases in morrowind. They actually give pretty detailed descriptions in game of their symptoms, in game effects and how you get them

Dengue fever, aka break bone fever is likely the inspiration for "bone break fever". Known to have agonizing muscle/bone pain, hence the name. However, it's spread by the less exciting mosquito bite

“Filled with magic. Dragons. And homeownership” 😭😭

Bone Break Fever could be analogous to SARS, which can cause osteoporosis and osteonecrosis together with fevers and weakness.

chaurus are yes inspired from a specific insect called hellgrammite

The entomological rant about Charuses was unexpected but a pleasant surprise.

It's my favorite kind of Skyrim content: Overanalysis of in-game lore/mechanics to make them make sense or apply a realistic filter on them!

What 15 years without a game does to a fanbase...

sometimes what was once a leg can be modified to serve another function. look at centipedes. they don't have mandibles. they have toxicognaths, which are essentially venomous legs used for pinching instead of walking. maybe chauruses have toxicognaths.

I think bones break fever could be Osteomiloisits due to the bear bite breaking and puncturing the bone causing deep infecton

Home ownership is my favorite fantasy trope 😅

2:39 it could also be from infected blood or other bodily fluids on the traps

0:20 Ataxia as a term was used by physicians since the 1600s

Funny enough, Canonically, within the world of Elder Scrolls, there are several types of vampirism, as Harkon mentions in Dawnguard. The version that exists within Skyrim is sanguinare vampiris, but porphyric hemophilia is another one, there's a third one whose name I forgot but yeah

@almightygobhoblin 4 months ago

I always assumed "bone break fever." As a joking way of saying, yeah they just jacked you up and broke your leg or something

@toastandoatmeal7085 4 months ago

Charaus are hellgrammites! They have a smilier look and life style.

Just to throw it out there, the rear pincers on a Chaurus could be pseudopincers that the rear two legs simply evolved into. That would still qualify as an insect accordingly. How did Chauruses evolve this in a world that was explicitly the direct creation of verifiably real dieties?

Dragon Break.
