There is a mounted head of an Argonian called "The Head of Scourge" in the basement storeroom of the Lizard's Head cornerclub in Vivec. This is a reference to Scourge, the character Bethesda developer Steve Meister (AKA MrSmileyFaceDude) used to test the game. Scourge was also the character Meister used to role-play on the Official Forums.

According to an interview, he discovered the head while testing the game and exploring Vivec. Since his character shared the same head model, he asked one of the developers to change the item name to match his character's.
