However, the dragon will always be able to reach you with its wings or tail. That is why it is important to keep a certain distance from the dragon when you challenge it directly to the ground so that you are out of reach of its jaws and breath. For example, it will move forward, grabbing you in its jaws, then lift you up in the air by slapping you from side to side, and finally throwing your poor body to the ground. If your health falls below a certain threshold in the game, and you stand next to a dragon's head, the dragon can kill you instantly with a programmed sequence of action. It is important to always have a good health bar when a dragon fights with you on the ground. In rare cases, however, the dragon may flee the battle with you completely, depriving you of a dragon soul to absorb for your character.ДЄlthough a dragon's breath is a fearsome weapon, its bite is devastatingly powerful. It will then not be able to fly away for the rest of the fight. However, once a dragon reaches half its health in the game, it will be forced to land on the ground, often awkwardly. There is also Dragonrend's shout, which forces a dragon to land on the ground for a short period of time. They may also remain perched on rooftops, or other parts of the game, to attack creatures that pass underneath them, while remaining out of range of melee attacks. During a fight, dragons will sometimes land on the ground to engage in hand-to-hand melee with you, or any other non-player character present at that location. However, to reduce the damage of these attacks, you can increase your elemental or magical resistance. As the dragon Paarthurnax explains, 'There is no distinction between debating and fighting a dragon.'ДЄll dragons are capable of frost or fire attacks, and can use them in the air or on the ground. This allows the dragon to attack their enemies, using short phrases of words, which will cause the opponent various damage and special effects.ДЇor some non-player characters in the Skyrim game, fighting a dragon is actually a debate. Some of them, on seeing you, will turn around without engaging in combat: you will then just have to continue on your way quietly so that the event disappears and the dragon flies away.Д«e careful if you engage in combat with a dragon, as they are able to draw their power from the Thu'um, which is also known as 'The Voice' or 'Dragon Shouts'. However, not all the dragons you may encounter in the game will necessarily be hostile towards you. The dragon will fly around your character, taking dust with it and blurring your vision, as if it wants to provoke you. When you're about to meet a dragon in the game, you'll soon find out about it, as you'll hear a huge roar in Skyrim, and it will create an animation around you.

This can range from a basic dragon, which is a smaller level than you, to a legendary dragon of a higher level.

As your level in the game increases through your various quests, the dragons you encounter will be harder to kill.

рџЁДuring a bloody battle, dragons are fearsome monsters, and they are among the most dangerous creatures in all of Tamriel. Large fortified towns like Witherun and Markarth are not spared either. You can often fall in front of a dragon, when you make a quick trip in Skyrim, to a place that is relatively open, or even in small towns like Rorikstead and Riverwood. All the dragon lairs on the game map are easily spotted, as they have walls with words, as well as a beautiful dragon head icon on the game map. However, in rare cases, two or even three dragons can be encountered at the same time, especially after making a quick trip. Most encounters are with a single dragon in this game. Several dragons are encountered during the main quest in Skyrim, however, dragons that are randomly generated may appear in the wild after completing the Dragon Rising quest in Skyrim.
