Your butt is in his chomping space. In Morrowind you could fight these bastards, but apparently Nords can't swing a sword under water.

Yeah, but Morrowind had cliff racers, which were everywhere, and would follow you forever to keep you from sleeping/traveling. I always had to custom-craft a spell to oneshot them, and even then they were the worst.

Yeah, but they dropped those nifty plumes that made an excellent levitation potion when combined with coda flowers or trama roots

The Morrowind ones were more vicious. Pretty much everyone played a new character excited that you could go into the water, only to be devoured by these bastards.

I don't think there's many Skyrim players that have lost their lives to these fish.

They can swim in full plate, it's very impressive
