Malkoran's Shade

Malkoran's Shade is a creature in Kilkreath Ruins. It becomes the ultimate boss of "The Break of Dawn."
The shade spawns once Malkoran's corporeal form is killed, and immediately attacks the Dragonborn upon spawning.
==Background==
Malkoran's Shade is the shade of the powerful necromancer Malkoran that rises after his death, retaining quite a bit of the mage's power. Malkoran is one of the most powerful mages in Skyrim, and has managed to steal Dawnbreaker from the Daedric Prince Meridia. The creation of his shade is further evidence of his power.
==Combat==
Malkoran's Shade uses shock spells such as Lightning Bolt. Once it runs out of magicka, it will try to obtain a weapon from a nearby corpse and will use it for the rest of the battle.
==Interactions==
===The Break of Dawn===
After Malkoran has been killed in order to complete this quest, his shade will rise to attack as Malkoran did in life. Killing the shade will reward Dawnbreaker.
==Trivia==
*It is the only unique Corrupted Shade that appears in the game.
*Malkoran's Shade appears similar to a Dragon Priest, despite no relation between the two.
*If Soul Tear is used on Makoran and it kills him, Malkoran will resurrect as a zombie but his shade will spawn as well. Upon the zombie's death, a second enemy shade will spawn.
