9. Hircine

Lord of the Hunt, or the Father of Manbeasts, Hircine is another one of those effectively cohesive Daedric Princes. Hircine is responsible for, amongst other things, lycanthropy on Tamriel. Those with a penchant for Werewolves over Vampires will be pleased to see Hircine rank higher than Molag Bal.

Hircine has a particular connection to the Reachmen, with whom there are many associations. The Reachmen are interesting and a touch overlooked and so Hircine's involvement creates this symbiotic relationship between the two, making each more engaging. Their 'Savour's Hide' artefact is not too shabby either.

So, with some interesting connections to overlooked people in the world of Tamriel, a not too bad artefact, and Werewolves to boot, why is Hircine only mid-tier?

Well, similar to Molag Bal, Hircine is a bit one note; yes, they are cohesive in terms of lore relating to quests and other considerations, but the Hunt, like Dominations, is at heart a touch bland, especially when compared to more mysterious Daedric counterparts.
