Spikeworms only get a very brief mention in the game but are confirmed to live in the Alik'r Desert. Spikeworms have only ever been mentioned in one Elder Scrolls title, the often-forgotten The Elder Scrolls Travels: Shadowkey released by Vir2L Studios back in 2004. Hammerfell is home to the Alik'r Desert, and ever since the release of Dune no fantasy desert has been complete without giant, terrifying worms burrowing under the sands. RELATED: Two Specific Games Are Going to Make This Decade One to Remember Here are just some of the area's monsters that could replace dragons as the next game's open-world boss fights. Hammerfell and High Rock have some great lore and diverse landscapes, but The Elder Scrolls 6 will need to find some monsters to rivals Skyrim's dragons if its world is going to feel as dangerous.

Although little has been revealed about the game since its announcement at E3 2018, a small detail found in Starfield's E3 2021 trailer resembled an outline of the two provinces, leading many Bethesda fans to conclude that, like Daggerfall, the next game would take place across both regions. Hammerfell and High Rock are the top contenders for The Elder Scrolls 6's setting. Dragons were so central to Skyrim, however, that their return in The Elder Scrolls 6 seems unlikely. Their return fueled the game's main plot, while the creatures themselves provided evolving boss battles throughout The Elder Scrolls 5.
