All the inhabitants were killed in a bright red mist. In 1E 2920, Molag Bal, under the summon of King Dro'Zel of Senchal, destroyed the city of Gilverdale. He was also responsible for the destruction of a city at the end of the First Era. It is possible he assisted Jagar Tharn in his temporary procurement of the Imperial throne. This race may have been the first eventual vampires, a corruption of Vivec's ties to the Heart of Lorkhan transmitted to mortals. He is also the god of rape and is said to be the father (along with Vivec, whom he seduced) of a population of mutant degenerates living in the Molag Amur region of Morrowind. In the legends, Molag Bal always tries to upset the bloodlines of Houses or otherwise ruin Dunmeri 'purity'. He is the main source of the obstacles to the Dunmer (and preceding Chimer) people. Sigillah Parate mentions in her spiritual commentary that she belonged to a cult known as the 'Witches of Molag Bal', where Molag Bal often appeared to its members in the guise of a mortal female. Most often, however, he appears to his followers as male. Like all the Daedric Princes, Molag Bal has no definite gender.

His scaly appearance is matched by his demeanor, as this serpentine Daedric Prince is the master of corruption, the King of Rape, and his entire realm of Coldharbour in Oblivion consists of nothing but death and destruction. Molag Bal resembles a large, bipedal hybrid of monkey and snake, and usually appears in a form adorned with horns, claws, and a long tail.
