The Elder's Scroll: Skyrim from
Bethesda is one of the best games I've ever played. It has great storyline, great graphics and other amazing features. But it was the Dragons that made me love this game a lot. Ever since I learned about dragons, I have been watching movies, documentaries, collecting toys and everything about dragons. At first I wasn't expecting much about this game (Skyrim), until I saw the quality of the dragon in game!, the quality, the physic. I find it very amazing. In the gameplay, Dragons
(Dovah, or Dov plural) are a reptilian race from Akavir that were once widespread throughout Tamriel which are are profoundly intelligent, capable of speech, written language, and comprehending other languages.Their spoken language can be used to cast powerful magic known as
Thu'um or dragon shouts.
"Most Nords of Skyrim believed Dragons were only a legend. Until now."
As I venture through Skyrim, I discovered some variants of dragons and here they are:
The "
Brown Dragons" or simply
"Dragon" which are the common types or the weakest dragon breed but still are a pain in the ass specially in early levels. They have Brown or Earth-colored scales and hide. The fire breed uses
"Fire Breath" &
"Fireball" shouts, while the frost breed uses
"Frost Breath" &
"Ice Storm".
The
"Blood Dragons" which are a very unique breed of dragons. They have a crest on their head, a sail that goes along their back, and a leaf-shaped flap at the end of their tail. Blood dragons that are fire breed uses
"Fire Breath", "Fireball", &
"Unrelenting Force" shouts, while the frost breed blood dragons uses
"Frost Breath", "Ice Storm", &
"Unrelenting Force" shouts.
The
"Frost Dragons" which have a great chance of draining down your stamina and slows you down and whats worse, they often appears in groups of two. Frost dragons are light grey in color with darker patterns and are adorned with large black spines that run from just behind the head to the tail although they're tails are tipped with spade-like protrusions, similar to those of brown dragons. They use
"Frost Breath", "Ice Storm", &
"Unrelenting Force" shouts.
The
"Elder Dragons" are considered middle class compared to other dragons. They have higher Health Pools and their attacks will surely hurts you a lot. Elder dragons looks similar as the Ancient dragons, however, their black markings are traded for a tan or copper marking, and they have a golden-copper color instead of the ancient's pinkish-copper. Same as other dragons fire breed uses
"Fire Breath", "Fireball", &
"Unrelenting Force" shouts, while the frost breed uses
"Frost Breath", "Ice Storm", &
"Unrelenting Force" shouts.
The
"Ancient Dragons" are the oldest most resilient dragons the Dragonborn can encounter, in short they're hard to kill. They are look mostly like the Elder dragons. Same as other dragons fire breed uses
"Fire Breath",
"Fireball", &
"Unrelenting Force" shouts, while the frost breed uses
"Frost Breath",
"Ice Storm", &
"Unrelenting Force" shouts.
The
"Revered Dragons" are introduced in
The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard. They have a beaked mouth, and completely lack teeth although they can still bite you which practically hurts. They are known to have orange with blue dorsal markings, and have wide, flat ridges that run the length of their body and tail, beginning at the back of their skull. These types of dragons uses
"Fire Breath",
"Unrelenting Force", &
"Drain Vitality" shouts.
The
"Legendary Dragons" are also introduced in
The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard. They are considered as the most powerful type of dragon found in Tamriel. Unlike other breeds of dragon, legendary dragons have distinctive thick, curved horns. They have a black and purple scale color. They are also unique in having what appears to be compound eyes, formed of multiple "eyes" in a single socket. These dragons uses
"Fire & Frost Breath", "Unrelenting Force", &
"Drain Vitality" shouts.
The
"Serpentine Dragons" are introduced in The Elder Scrolls V: Dragonborn. A serpentine dragon's head resembles that of a snake which I find disturbingly scary for I am seriously afraid of snakes. They have scales that are much smoother and finer than those of other dragons and they have a pronounced underbite. Serpentine dragons uses
"Fire & Frost Breath", "Fireball", Ice Storm", &
"Unrelenting Force" depending on breed.
