Blood Dragons are dragons found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. They are a unique breed with sideways slit eyes, a crest on their head, a sail that goes along their back, and a leaf-shaped flap at the end of their tail. They become common at level 20, although on rare occasions as low as level 1.

HabitatsEdit

The appearance of Blood Dragon is level based and entirely random, although one is known to often appear at Northwind Summit, near Shor's Stone .

Battle behaviorEdit

Blood Dragons follow their targets, even circling around cities when they've been entered. The only way to escape a Blood Dragon, other than hiding in a cave, is to lead it to a small village or camp and flee as it attacks the village. 

AttacksEdit

Blood Dragons use Finishing moves when the health of their target is low. This animation depicts them eating the upper torso of the target. A Blood Dragon can use both fire and frost breath attacks.

TacticsEdit

• frost spells can be used to slow the dragon, while shock spells can be used to stagger them, if the correct destruction perks have been learned.
• The Spellbreaker shield can block the shouts used by dragons. Alternatively, the Staff of Magnus can be used to drain a dragon's magicka, rendering them unable to shout.

BugsEdit

•  360   PS3   Sometimes a Blood Dragon's texture won't load properly until it's killed. Also happens on PC.
• As with other types of dragon, a Blood Dragon may give no soul when killed. (When this happens, the dragon's body is not turned into a skeleton.)
