Argonian or Bosmer. They are the two jungle tribesman races like something from a rainforest of Asia or South America

true i mainly said Argonians because their homeland is the black marsh and when i hear spear i think of an Argonian spearing a fish or something like that
but a Khajit would go well too

I think Argonians had an advantage with spears in Morrowind.
At least I heard something about that once but I didn't get to play Morrowind so I'm not sure.

Argonian. Played one in Morrowind, good times.

Dunmer or Argonians.

Well, in Morrowind the Argonians got a huge skill bonus to using spears, so they seem like the most likely race to use spears. Nords also got a modest bonus to spears as well - and I personally imagine the stereotypical Nordic 'Foot Soldier' as wearing chainmail, with a big shield and spear with a sword as a side-arm.

I also think Dunmer are a natural fit for Spears too, depending on their origins (Ashlander, House Redoran...) but otherwise I don't think any other race really lends itself to spears all that well.

Yh. Nord was my main character in Morrowind but after him I had multiple characters. Of the characters it was my Argonian who was the expert with a spear. He wore Dreugh armor.

I've just bought a new laptop and have re-installed Morrowind and I've just started playing it again after all these years. Still a great game. I won't play a beast race this time around though. I just haven't the time for that stupid bit of them being restricted when wearing armor.

In Morrowind the two races that had bonuses in spears was Argonians and Nords.

After these I would personally imagine Bosmer & Redguards to use them. I imagine Dunmer & Khajiit more so as light armored swordmen and bowmen who use throwing weapons as well over spears

Khajiit I imagine like a Rajput warrior
