These enemies will not carry an enchanted mask, however. Because of this, other radiant named bosses, such as Curalmil and Red Eagle, may also appear as Dragon Priests if at a high enough level.
While moving, they will attack with various staves and destructive spells, making for an effective opponent both offensively and defensively.ĭragon Priests are at the high end of the leveled list of possible draugr-type spawns (see effects of leveling for a description of how creatures are generated according to the player-character's level). They will constantly backpedal at a high speed, making it difficult to land any melee strikes until the Dragon Priest is driven into a corner. In combat, Dragon Priests are incredibly dangerous and can kill even high-level players quite quickly. If their sleep is disturbed, the Dragon Priest will burst out of its coffin with considerable force and prepare to destroy whomsoever intruded upon their resting place. They are now found residing in coffins throughout areas of prominent dragon worship.
They ruled over countless armies of men in their gods' names. Dragon Priests were once the loyal servants of the ancient dragons of Skyrim.
