Dragons
Dragons are among the most formidable foes, with powerful attacks and vast reserves of health. A dragon’s color usually indicates their difficulty, allowing you to choose whether to fight or flee as soon as you spot them. When fighting a dragon, stay on the move-- patience and ranged attacks work best. Be especially careful of Revered and Legendary Dragons, who have a powerful shout that drains your Health, Magicka, and Stamina.
Dragon Loot includes a chance of: Dragon Bones, Dragon Scales, Gold, Gems, Weapons, or Armor; Dragons usually have several of these items. If you intend to smith dragon weapons or armor, make sure to save a couple dozen Dragon Scales, or a few Dragon Bones.
