*'''Hircine''' (meaning: goat-like) is the Daedric Prince of the hunt and patron of werebeasts. Though his favorites are werewolves, this also includes werebears, wereboars, werelions and werecrocodiles. He lives for the hunt, the tougher the opponent the better. Despite playing life like a game of [[Werewolf: The Apocalypse]], he acknowledges strong and worthy opponents, even rewarding them with powerful boons or artifacts, given that they beat him of course. Werebeasts are inevitably bound to him: those who die with the curse of the Werewolf will accompany Hircine on his hunts as his hunting hounds for the rest of eternity. Hircine usually is depicted as a man wearing a deer skull mask, and can turn into a wolf or bear with the mask still attached. The PC shit-kicks one of his avatars in an expansion pack to Morrowind, after Hircine kidnaps him and the other strongest fighters in the land for a tournament/gauntlet of endurance.

*'''Jyggalag''' is the Daedric Prince of Order. [[wat|He obsessively memorized every single thing that happened ever thus]], he could more or less predict the future with 99.8% accuracy. A
dick
even by the standards of the Daedra, the sixteen other Princes ganged up on him and used their magic to turn him into Sheogorath. Once every 10.000 years he bursts back into existence and fucks up Sheogorath's crib before
returning
to
wherever
. That is, until the [[PC]] killed him during the events of ''The Shivering Isles'', breaking the curse on Sheogorath and returning him to his natural state. He now roams Oblivion doing Aedra knows what.

dangerous guy
even by the standards of the Daedra, the sixteen other Princes ganged up on him and used their magic to turn him into Sheogorath
. Yup
. Once every 10.000 years he bursts back into existence
(a procedure called the Greymarch)
and fucks up Sheogorath's crib before
retreating back into his madder side and leaving that side
to
try and repair the damage done, until the next Greymarch
. That is, until the [[PC]] killed him during the events of ''The Shivering Isles'', breaking the curse on Sheogorath and returning him to his natural state. He now roams Oblivion doing Aedra knows what.

*'''Malacath''' is the Daedric Prince of the spurned, pariahs, curses and Orcs. He was once Trinimac, responsible for killing Lorkhan. Until Boethiah ate him for trying to stop the Chimer from getting to the promised land and shat him out as Malacath. As such he's often the punchline of many a joke of his fellow Daedra, to which he replies as being a [[noblebright]] combination of [[Gork]]/[[Mork]] and [[Khorne]]. Only Orcs love him, which he is a bit sad about. [[Dawww|You should probably try to give him a hug.]] Unless he tries to punch you for it. Generally takes the form of a huge Orc with some sort of two-handed weapon, as a true man should.

*'''Mehrunes Dagon''' is the Daedric Prince of destruction, change, and revolution. Think a mix of [[Tzeentch]], [[Khorne]] and [[Stupid Evil]] mixed together and poured into the form of a four-armed [[BBEG|classic big red devil.]] He may have once been a kind demon who wanted to stop Alduin from eating the world by hiding bits of it until the dragon ate too much and exploded, but the World Eater cursed him into a realm where nothing could be destroyed or killed for all eternity and told him the only way out was to blow up the bits of the universe he'd saved. This made him overly eager to go out and destroy the world to the point where he acts stupid. As such, he's an easy pawn for pretty much anyone with the clout to get to the guy, and is most often the main villain of an Elder Scrolls game.

*'''Mephala''' is the Daedric Prince of plots, spiders, sex and secrets, and maybe also of contradiction, paradoxes and subtlety. Anyway, not an awful lot is known about her except that she's the patron of [[Rogue|backstabbing]] and evil plots (given that one of her realms is secrets that's probably why). The only thing known about her realm is that it's inhabited by [[monstergirl|Driders]] so Chaotic Evil even Mephala has trouble commanding them. She taught the Chimer how to avoid or stealthily kill their enemies, and helped found the Great Houses. The Dunmer holy order of assassins, the Morag Tong can also trace their origins to her. She also likes to tempt mortals into doing her bidding, mainly for the [[lulz]] of it. Said to have a particular connection to Hermaeus Mora. Think of her as a less malevolent and dickish [[Lolth]].

*'''Meridia''' is a mysterious Daedric Prince associated with the energy of the living. Only three things are known about her: she is likely a Magna-Ge(Those who ran away together with Magnus creating holes in reality that we see as Sun and Stars) who stayed or was left behind, she has a HUGE hateboner for the undead and will [[RIP AND TEAR]] them wherever she and her followers can find them, making her super [[lawful neutral]], and [[Rule 34|she's got great legs]]. She also supported the ancient elves until [[Space Marines|Pelinal Whitestrake]] (A cyborg from the future sent back in time to genocide elves, not shitting you) kicked the shit out of them.

*'''Sangiune''' is the Daedric Prince of revelry and debauchery, sort of like a less extreme and more specific variant of [[Slaanesh]] (Basically an all powerful fratboy). Is probably one of the best Daedra to hang out with when he's in a good mood; he also has 100,000 differnet realms, each of which is dedicated to various types of [[/d/|fun and games]]. He genrally appears as a fat, robed imp with a woman on his arm, but has also taken human and dremora-like forms. One of his quests involves casting a spell at a fancy party to strip everyone naked and then escape the guards, while the other involves a drinking contest with him for the Sanguine Rose, one of his artifacts.

*'''Sheogorath''', is the <s>final piece of cheese needed to complete the puzzle</s> best. He is the Daedric Prince of madness, whimsy, art, and general tomfoolery. He's pretty funny, and when he's feeling benevolent, he does lots of good in the world like, say, inventing music. When he's ''not'' feeling benevolent, watch the fuck out, because he ''will'' combine [[Just As Planned]] with [[Chaotic Stupid]] in the worst and most unexpected way to screw you up a wall without lube, or skip rope with your intestines. There's a series of books that records his beating ''every other Daedric Prince'' in some fashion, and a lot of them are just cruel. This may or may not have anything to do with the fact that his summoning day (while officially 2nd of Suns Dawn) is also any day there is a thunderstorm, taking precedence over the summoning days of every other Daedric Prince. His artifacts all have significant "lolrandom" elements to them, and his quests are usually really entertaining. May or may not have retired for a life of skipping rocks in some kind of endless river, and recruited the protagonist of the fourth game to take over his realms of [[wat]] known as the Shivering Isles. Appears to mortals exclusively in disguise, specifically the one known as "Gentleman with a Cane". In Skyrim he's actually the [[PC]] from Oblivion.

, as the last DLC of Oblivion involved the PC taking over his powers and job so that he can chill out as his much more orderly and Lawful Lawful personality: Jyggalag

*'''Vaermina''' is the Daedric Prince of dreams, nightmares, and possibly torture. Like Namira, she's a rather unpleasant Daedra and falls more on the side of neutral evil than most of the others. Her quests deal mostly with dreams, such as clearing a temple of her dreaming worshipers to stop the nightmares in a town or kill one of her dreamers who turned traitor. Fortunately, she's not quite as actively malicious as Molag Bal or Boethiah.
