Mine is that some people don't consider viruses alive. These people are fucking stupid because giruses exist as do virophages. Like yes unalive things literally hunting other unalive things totally makes sense.

The dwarves in the elder scrolls, the dwemer, were actually elves of average height. They were named dwarves by the native giants of Skyrim (I think? Might have been another part of Tamriel).

Also if I remember correctly, neither men nor elves are native to Tamriel. The only native playable races are the Khajit and the Argonians. Nords descended from the Atmorans, who came from the northernmost continent of Atmora.

This is one of those things in Elder Scrolls with conflicting sources and fan speculation. Like, there's a theory that because of how ohmes furstocks look and the fact that they worship Azura that khajit are actually another colony of chimer that got changed somehow.
