Skeletal Dragon (Skyrim)

The Skeletal Dragon is a necromantic dragon in .
==Physical appearance==
Unlike most dragons, who possess a body with pure skin, muscle and flesh, this dragon is purely bone, with no muscle mass or flesh at all.
==Combat==
In gameplay, the skeletal dragon is permanently grounded due to a lack of usable wings. This is proven by the creation kit that has a script which prevents the dragon from flying. This makes pelting it with arrows an easy, and efficient task for ending this undead beast. This fight is not much different, or difficult than a regular dragon, and given the right weapons and abilities, it can be over quite quickly, as the health pool of this specific beast is lower than other dragon types.
==Locations==
The skeletal dragon appears in the College of Winterhold quest "The Staff of Magnus," serving as the guardian of Labyrinthian. It appears in a very large room with four to eight skeletons and uses the Frost Breath Shout. The skeletal dragon does not have a dragon soul or dragon scales (including dragon heartscales), but will drop up to six dragon bones; aside from Paarthurnax, this is the only dragon that drops this many bones at one time.
==Trivia==
*The skeletal dragon cannot be mounted using the Bend Will shout.
==Bugs==
Click to see the list of bugs encountered
*If the dragon is spawned using console commands, it will fly like a normal dragon instead of being on the ground.
*If a Skeletal Dragon that was spawned by using console commands is killed, its health bar will disappear, and it will not die afterwards, causing it to keep flying around the area it was spawned in.
**Solution: Load a save that does not include the Skeletal Dragon that was spawned.
*Sometimes the skeletal dragon's mouth will remain moving after it dies.
*Sometimes, when a Skeletal Dragon dies, the health bar disappears, and then, a few seconds later, the Skeletal Dragon comes back to life. The player must now fight the Skeletal Dragon multiple times.
* If the Skeletal Dragon in Labyrinthian is killed before finishing its spawn animation, it will partially clip through the floor upon death, only held above ground by its tail or wing.
