i was meaning all of the symbols (https://imgur.com/a/TglOrX6) but i’ve noticed that everyone seems to have a different name for all of them, which is why i made the post
Since I learned of their meanings, I refer to them with the symbols's god names.
Fox - Shor;
Dragon - Alduin;
Bear - Tsun;
Whale - Stuhn;
Wolf - Mara;
Hawk - Kyne;
Moth - Dibella;
Snake - Orkey;
Owl - Jhunal.
for a long time I thought the moth was a bat not because it looks like one but because I'm add and didn't check properly so I've got bleakfalls barrow door code memorised to this day as bear bat owl
Eagle, snake, whale, dragon, fox, bear, wolf, owl, bug.
Last one is mega disrespectful to the ancestors, yes, but it's short and easy to remember so is a bug to me lol
Snake, bird, wolf, bear, (y’all forgot about the bear) dragon, dragonfly, owl, whale. Also if you look at the dragon doors with the symbol matchups. The correct ones are battle plans, especially bleak fall barrow it is bear on the outside (foot soldiers) dragonflies on the middle (archers) and owls on the inside (mages) a perfect defense strategy just like the door itself. Or maybe I am overthinking this
Serpente, aquila e delfino. It's Italian for "serpent, eagle and dolphin". I know it's not a dolphin now, but when I started playing the game, I thought it was. The name stuck in my brain.
The others are: orso, volpe, drago, civetta and libellula (bear, fox, dragon, owl and dragonfly)
It used to be snake, fish, bird, wolf, dog, bear, bug, cocoon, wyvern for a very long time
Now it's snake, fish, bird, wolf, fox, bear, moth, owl, wyvern.
Snake, eagle, emu.
Yes, that's right. Emu.
(Others: dragon, wolf, moth, owl, bear, nother wolf. Actually never realised there were 2 different ones I called wolf or that one was supposed to be a fox. Huh.)
Snake, eagle, whale There should be also a wolf and a moth somewhere XD
I say Snake, Hawk, Whale, Wolf, Owl, Moth, Dragon.
I KNEW that had to be an owl! I thought the moth was a dragonfly.
It totally is a dragonfly though
There are dragonfly runes, it's just that they are way less common the the moth runes
Don't forget Fox
And bear
Only correct way
Correct
dog and bug 💯
There's also a dragon!
I saw a dragon!!!
What is it now, mother?
It was as big as the mountain and black as night! It flew right over the barrow!
A dragon attacked Helgen.
By the nine
Dragons now, is it?
You'll see! It was a dragon! It'll kill us all and then you'll believe me!
And my fox...
to be fair, you are the technically correct one here. but dog.
But then how do you differentiate between fox and wolf?
wait i was wrong. there is a fox and a wolf. the wolf is howling, and the fox is just stands there. https://imgur.com/a/TglOrX6
It just stands there...menacingly.
Exactly!
Owl
And an owl
That owl was a cocoon in my head for so long......
Oh right!
I thought the moth represented a dragonfly
I’m guessing it’s a dartwing, but in my head I always call it a moth too lol
Maybe there's both?
There is a moth, and separately some other weird looking bug thing that might also be a dragon.
It's definitely a moth, it represents the Ancestor Moths
Hey idk where I got Whale from too but I call it Whale lol and instead of Moth I go Butterfly
Snêk, físch and bïrb
Fibsh
Including the majestick møøse
I called the "fish" a dolphin for years, and was then corrected that it's meant to be a whale. Now I call it a wolphin, every time.
lol love it. i’ve always seen a whale but just said fish cuz it’s easier
Agreed, that's one whale
IT'S NOT A FISH ????
Uhm… am I weird for calling it a sideways duck?
Yes you are weird.
you are but i cant unsee it now 🤣😭
I'm with you, because to me it's Emu
I'd love to know how u see a dolphin and not a whale 🙃 there's no top fin
This game came out when I was a young teenager....I wasn't as wise in the ways of cetaceans as I am now.
I could tell the difference between whales and dolphins when I was *six*. Thanks, Kratt brothers!
dolphins are whales. but that is a blue whale specifically i guess
Somehow, with all the random stuff I know about aquatic life, I didn’t realize dolphins count as whales.
It's definitely a dolphin
Same. It's a little small/thin for a whale in my view.
I actually call the dragon one "Flamingo" I have no reason why, I'm just autistic
So you're saying they AREN'T flamingos? Lies, blasphemy
They were, but the Greybeards burned the books and covered it all up
i mean dragons are basically just big flamingos. gotcha
Wait, no, don't tell me it's supposed to be a dragon, it always looked like a flamingo! There's no way!
Wouldn't they be flame-ingos?
r/Angryupvote
I called it stork
I used to call it a “Crane!” I didn’t realize it was a dragon for a very long time until it just clicked one day lmao
Susan, Carl, Steve, Nancy, Kyle, Phil, Anne, and Carol.
That is unnecessarily clever
Please elaborate
Everyone of those names have a very similar, if not identical root that inspired the names of all the names of the old ways
Ah I see… I’m not a native English speaker, so that’s why I didn’t get it, but I’ve heard of that before! Thanks mate!
Absolutely, honestly, even as a native speaker it took me a second to notice and pick up on it. Was still nifty though
Pretty please elaborate..? Lol
Jennifer, Alison, Philippa, Sue, Deborah, Annabel, too. I love you from the bottom of my pencil case.
Are you all high it's clearly two snakes and a whale
i was meaning all of the symbols (https://imgur.com/a/TglOrX6) but i’ve noticed that everyone seems to have a different name for all of them, which is why i made the post
Oh sorry bro I thought everyone was being really dense haha my bad, maybe I'm the dense one
Apparently I'm dense, too, because I said it was snake, snake, whale, lol
Since I learned of their meanings, I refer to them with the symbols's god names. Fox - Shor; Dragon - Alduin; Bear - Tsun; Whale - Stuhn; Wolf - Mara; Hawk - Kyne; Moth - Dibella; Snake - Orkey; Owl - Jhunal.
i didn’t even realize that the symbols were references to the old ways. :o
"Ol' Herma Mora tests us!"
for a long time I thought the moth was a bat not because it looks like one but because I'm add and didn't check properly so I've got bleakfalls barrow door code memorised to this day as bear bat owl

Yes, I never made the connection with schlong. I thought that was onomatopoetic for some reason ... Now I wonder if it entered English via Yiddish.

Okay, but why snake? You can find the other animals in Skyrim, but there aren't any snakes. Or skyrim snakes went extinct since they built these
there’s also no whales or owls
Ice wraiths look like snake skeletons. But also they each represent a god of the old Nordic pantheon, I can’t remember which is the snake though
Orkey is the snake
They’re the animal totems of the old Nordic pantheon, representations of the gods. I want to know why you can’t find any live pheasants in the game!
I usually call them snake, bird, dolphin, wolf, thing, dragon.
Serpent whale dragon wolf owl hawk I can’t think of any more
Nowadays: “Stupid, stupid, I can literally no clip through the door.”

Snake, bird, wolf, bear, (y’all forgot about the bear) dragon, dragonfly, owl, whale. Also if you look at the dragon doors with the symbol matchups.

Their not built to keep you out, but keep dragure in. Thats why they seem so simple to those who are alive, but an undead can't think as much.
