Mudcrab Merchant ESO
Elder Scroll Online is an amazing MMORPG. I have played quite a lot and I was a guild leader with 500 members. That was the limit back then.

How Does Mudcrab Merchant Talk?
A talking mudcrab? And it’s smart enough to become a merchant… Did this little fella is part of an undiscovered species which evolved to the point where they can talk? It doesn’t seem very plausible.
How can mudcrab merchant talk then? The answer is simple, magic! I mean, talking mudcrabs aren’t really that strange in a world of talking lizards, humanoid cats, and elves.
Our little fella was either a humanoid turned into a mudcrab by magic or it’s just a magic infused genetic uplifting experiment.
Could also be just another Sheogorath shenanigan. Who knows. It’s just another unbelievable thing in Elder Scroll games.
