Skyrim Fan Makes a Whiterun Guard Plush That Talks

It's fair to say that more than a decade is a long time for a game to be in the spotlight. Yet despite its age, The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is one of the most celebrated open-world titles in gaming, especially in terms of replay value. Aside from the fact that there is a lot to do and see, as well as the plethora of mods that keep coming out, Bethesda's 2011 epic is also something of a meme with its own in-jokes. One such example comes from the game's Whiterun guards, which one person has now made into a plush.

Uploading a video to the Skyrim subreddit recently, user Aragog83 has shown their crafting skills by turning the aforementioned guard into a soft toy. The impressive plush has been hand-sewn with felt, jersey, and faux fur, complete with chainmail armor. It also has interchangeable accessories, such as a sword and shield. However, the most fascinating thing about this creation is that it actually talks. In the video, a number of phrases that the guards frequently say can be heard. The creator says there are 37 phrases that the plush will utter.

Perhaps the classic example comes from the guards themselves in the guise of the «arrow to the knee» line, which Aragog83 has put into their plush.
