Rock Lord

Rock Lords were aggressive creatures made of rock. At least one Rock Lord was used by the Daedra to hunt humans and was mimicked by the Ipomal shapeshifter in the far future.

History
Back when Praepositus was just a simple platoon leader wandering the planes of Oblivion, he and his squad were captured by the Daedra. Instead of killing the humans themselves, the Daedra set them loose and released a Rock Lord to hunt them down. Praepositus was the only survivor of the hunt, and the traumatic memory of the event would haunt him for years to come.

In 253,074 CMT, the Ipomal shapeshifter assumed the form of the Rock Lord that had hunted Praepositus's squad when it confronted him in the ruins of Ipomal over one hundred thousand years later. Praepositus instantly recognized the image of the Rock Lord and backed away in horror, swinging a small dagger at the creature in an attempt to keep it at bay. To Praepositus's surprise, the creature stopped its approach and said "Let me feed..." in an almost-human voice, but he continued to defend himself by dashing over to the beast and stabbing it in the gut. Despite the apparent injury, the creature seemed to smile, and the skin around the wound turned into a black jelly before the rest of the beast collapsed into a puddle of the same black slime. Instead of resuming the Rock Lord disguise, the shapeshifter then solidified and reformed itself into a perfect copy of Praepositus himself.
