Lesser known facts about Skyrim : V - Skyrim

4. There are technically no Dragons in this game, Dragons have 4 legs and 2 wings, while Wyverns have 2 legs and 2 wings (Like in Skyrim). Wyverns are a subspecies of dragon which normally has has four limbs. The wyvern has wings instead of arms, much like a bird or a pterosaur and also Wyverns have also been known for their body length, which is unusually longer than a dragon's.

Not in TES, they're called dragons here because there are no wyverns otherwise.

It's like saying there are no trolls in Skyrim just three-eyed gorillas because trolls only have two eyes...

Chinese dragons are long have 0 wings and 4 legs so technically they're sausage dogs.

Edit: They are also not in Skyrim.

I would love a sausage dog mod! I would love to hear the Dragonborn theme kick in as A 40ft Dachshund came lolloping up to me trying to lick me to death...

I am the sausage dog born!

Get on it, community...

This may be a lesser known fact to some people. The argonians and khajit you see in the game are the 'intelligent' beings of their race. A good number of argonians and khajits are straight up beasts who can't talk or walk on 2 legs.

Correct me if any of my facts are wrong.

A wyvern is a dragon but a dragon is not a wyvern.

Like how a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square.

Dragon = dinosaur

Draugr actually talk to each other, it was actually kinda creepy when I first saw it.
There was two of them facing each other and making strange guttural noises, it was spooky.
I searched it up in the Library at the College, and it turns out that Draugr in fact have been documented to speak with each other in a language we do not understand, quite interesting if I do say so myself!

Gutterspeak ftw.

Gutterspeak ftw.

hahahahaha. I thought the same thing. But that is a cool fact, and it is rather creepy when you first sneak up on it.

I thought the Draugr spoke the dragon language, since they can use shouts.

They do use shouts and dragon language, but if you sneak up on them while they're communicating, it's a sort of low guttural thing. Hard to explain. MIght be dragon language, but just... old and undead sounding.

This sounds really cool, I'm gonna pay attention to this when sneaking through some Nord ruins on my rogue
