3	''[[https://www.deviantart.com/valsalia/art/Lusty-Argonian-Maid-d-635247161 Lusty Argonian Maid'd]]'' is a TransformationComic / ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' [[FanWorks/TheElderScrolls fanfiction]] created by Valsalia, who also created ''Webcomic/OutOfPlacers''. Despite the work's name, the comic is mostly safe-for-work, save for some flirtatious poses and off-screen intercourse.
4
5	The Dragonborn, hero of the Nords, has been cursed by a rather bored Shegorath into taking on the form of an incredibly flirtatious Argonian. However, dragons still plague the land of Skyrim, and it will take some unlikely allies to overcome this transformation and help protect the world in its time of need.
6	----
7	!!Tropes:
8	* AllPartOfTheShow: In Part 38, [[spoiler:a nerdified Pussywillow]] is given a wedgie by [[BarbarianHero Crushabelle]], but a nearby crowd accepts it as a travelling performance using a crowd-pleasing metaphor for the dominance of classic Nordic values over those of foreign races.
9	* AmazonianBeauty: BarbarianHero Crushabelle is notably one of the tallest and curviest cursed forms in the series.
10	* AscendedExtra: Delphine, a member of the Blades in the original ''Skyrim'', quickly becomes the tritagonist of the story.
11	* BarbarianHero: [[spoiler:Delphine]] turns into one named "Crushabelle the Mighty" upon [[spoiler:taking up the Dragonborn's role of "Hero of the Nords" and being struck with the curse]].
12	* BeleagueredBoss: Orgnar, the owner of the inn that "Lifts-Her-Tail" starts working at (without actually being hired), is constantly frustrated by how much she flirts instead of doing her job competently.
13	* BoobBasedGag: When [[spoiler:Delphine]] is first cursed into becoming [[BarbarianHero Crushabelle]], it takes a full six panels for her chest to stop bouncing, to her frustration.
14	* {{Crossover}}: Valsalia has uploaded bonus strips that cross this comic's cast with their main work ''Webcomic/OutOfPlacers'', such as [[https://www.deviantart.com/valsalia/art/Patreon-Halloween-Outfit-Swap-713182868 this Outfit Swap]].
15	* FightingFromTheInside: The Dragonborn's personality is still inside Lifts-Her-Tail, and is constantly struggling for control, as anything they say to express their current feelings to others gets filtered to match Lifts-Her-Tail's persona. [[spoiler:When Orgnar gets cursed, it turns out they can both perfectly understand each other's true intent despite what their bodies are actually saying.]]
16	* ForcedTransformation: Played with for The Dragonborn, who is frustrated at their current predicament [[NotSoAboveItAll but is also actually kinda into it]]. Most of the other curse victims express more frequent shame, though "The Revealening" notes that exhibitionism is a common side effect of the curse.
17	* GardenGarment: Fenrig, a villager that Orgnar threw out of the inn for causing a drunken ruckus, decides to get even by having Pussywillow steal everything of value from the area, only to end up cursed into the form of a [[GranolaGirl literal tree-hugging]], [[ImAHumanitarian cannibalistic]] female elf with a flower crown, a large leaf for a poncho, and a smaller leaf as an undergarment.
18	* GenderBender: Overlaps with RaceLift for most. Besides the focus of this story being a male Nord forcibly transformed into a female Argonian, many other Nord and human-like characters are given a gender swap into another race entirely. [[spoiler:Orgnar]] for example ends up turning into a Khajit woman named Pussywillow.
19	* GodInHumanForm: Early on, a crazed old man in a purple robe storms into Orgnar's inn upon sensing a Wabbajack victim and is able to detail the extent of the Dragonborn's curse. A few strips later, this man turns out to be a literal sock puppet for Shegorath himself.
20	* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Starting with Part 4, when the series was turned from a few quick jokes into having an actual story, the comics strips are titled "The [blank]-ing", such as The Battling, The Explanationing, and The Heroinenening [sic].
21	* ImpossibleTheft: When Fenrig decides to check the extent of the curse's effects by asking Pussywillow if she's a lawless thief in her current form, she reveals that she's already stolen everything of value in the area while they were having their conversation in order to impress him.
22	* JumpedAtTheCall: After dragons burn down the inn and the curse spreads to a bunch of the local villagers, Delphine decides that's enough, and "bears the weight of heroism in the Dragonborn's stead". [[spoiler:Shegorath then immediately and directly transforms her into Crushabelle.]]
23	* KarmicTransformation: On multiple levels. It turns out that Shegorath's curse didn't ''specifically'' turn the Dragonborn into [[Literature/TheElderScrollsInUniverseBooks an in-universe fictional character]]; it's just what the Dragonborn believed a "civilized" Argonian acts like, and it was revenge for "toying with mortals" such as stealing all of a shop's wares one day and then knocking them all to the floor with a shout the next. Once the curse starts spreading to people that either take advantage of the cursed, or are being racist towards them, it changes them into their own false perceptions of other races, including an Argonian that becomes a human and makes a big deal over having hair and producing their own body heat. And according to "The Revealening", the whole mess started after Shegorath saw a group of city folk put on garish costumes and create obnoxious performances to mock the lower classes.
24	* KleptomaniacHero: Early, when the Dragonborn laments what they could have done to deserve their current humiliation, we're shown him putting a basket over a shopkeep's head in order to steal all of their wares. Later, upon the villagers realizing that Lifts-Her-Tail is The Dragonborn and calling her out for not working harder to fight off her curse, one of them relates a story of how The Dragonborn stole all the corn from his field just to craft potions he could sell to someone else, and realizes their hero was always a bit of an ass.
25	* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Nihilus Blackblade, the Dark Brotherhood Assassin, pompously refers to himself as "I, Nihilus Blackblade" at least three times in his first inner monologue, he assumes that the erratic movements of his current targets (the Dragonborn's party) are to purposely throw him off their trail when the truth is they're bumbling around and are unaware of his existence, and he intentionally brushed off everything relating to the magical curse and how it's transmitted because he deemed it unnecessary to his job.
26	* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: If something happens to a cursed character that fits their "role", such as someone returning Lifts-Her-Tail's affections, the inner voice of their true self is briefly overwritten to accept it. [[spoiler:It's later discovered that the Mind is also a Plaything of the ''Outfit'', as a Forsworn headdress transforms Lifts-Her-Tail into a primitive savage, and a Mage Hood transforms Pussywillow into a nerd.]]
27	* NotSoAboveItAll:
28	** After spending the first ten pages being completely and utterly frustrated by Lifts-Her-Tail, Orgnar ends up sleeping with her, [[spoiler:getting cursed in the process]].
29	** A male Argonian and Khajit, after a page of wanting Lifts-Her-Tail and Pussywillow to StopBeingStereotypical, admit that they still want to sleep with the girls.
30	* NubileSavage: [[spoiler:Orgnar]] becomes the savage Pussywillow Moonsugar after being cursed, dressed in beast-skins and claiming they're now illiterate while also attracted to "the scent of a noble Nord-man".
31	* ProfessionalKiller: Part 51, "The [=EnTrackening=]", introduces Nihilus Blackblade, a comically edgy and prideful member of the Dark Brotherhood that's been hired to kill the Dragonborn's party by multiple people they've wronged with their thievery and spreading of magical curses.
32	* RoleSwapAU: In addition to the main series, Valsalia has also drawn bonus comics depicting the main characters with different transformations, such as [[https://www.deviantart.com/valsalia/art/PATREON-FREEBIE-The-Lusty-Argonian-Role-Reversal-836938807 this Role Reversal]] swapping the Dragonborn's Argonian Maid transformation with [[spoiler:Delphine]]'s BarbarianHero Crushabelle form.
33	* RPGMechanicsVerse: The world still runs on ''Skyrim'' gameplay mechanics, which is problematic when the world's monsters start scaling their level to match "Lifts-Her-Tail", who has been allocating her skill points towards [[UselessUsefulNonCombatAbilities being a better maid]].
34	* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Lifts-Her-Tail is one to a tee, openly flirting with the inn's guests and exposing herself (though due to Argonian biology, there's not much to actually show). Pussywillow is equally shameless, at least on the outside.
35	* StopBeingStereotypical: Part 14 has an actual male Argonian and Khajit, upon seeing Lifts-Her-Tail and Pussywillow, take a moment to discuss how problematic it is that the girls are embodying their races' worst stereotypes when the Nords already have gripes against their races...[[NotSoAboveItAll before confirming that they'll still try to sleep with them anyways]].
36	* TemptingFate: [[spoiler:Orgnar]], after sleeping with Lifts-Her-Tail, has just enough time to think to himself that giving in to a wench's temptation doesn't make him less of a man before [[spoiler:transforming into a woman]].
37	* UselessUsefulNonCombatAbilities: As Lifts-Her-Tail, the Dragonborn only has access to skill trees that involve being a better maid (such as "Cleaning", "Cooking", and "Seduction") instead of combat-oriented ones. However, she is able to escape being mugged by a bandit...[[OutsideTheBoxTactic by using the curse to force him into the role of a submissive maid]].
