A scrib is just a little baby kwama and he is one of the few non-violent creatures, so if you attack him you get what you deserve

on the other side of the scale are 2 of the most annoying, most idiotic creatures of Morrowind: Cliff Racer and Slaughterfish... the really annoying thing abouth them, however, isn't even the fact that they attack relentlesly - it is the fact that they would attack you even if you're Lv 100, just so they could annoy you to death :< however, one doesen't have to go to waters very often (unless it's a part of a quest or he/she feels like swimming), and that makes the slaughterfish ecounters less frequent than those with the dreaded racers, which is why I hate those flying craplings more than any other enemy in MW.
