Especially for Arandor: possible Skyrim spoilers! Don't spoil Skyrim for yourself!
Paarthurnax (Ambition Overlord Cruelty)Faces: Happy, Angry, Sad, Relaxed, Mara's Amulet
Cute pointsHugs!Sometimes when you get close to talk to her she'll hug you. Once this happens it's hard to escape.
Can't speak well!PaarthurnaxYour kind - joorre - mortals - created it as a weapon against the dov… the dragons
Perhaps because she's been cooped up for a long time, but she mixes human and draconic and keeps stumbling over her words. But she's actually very talkative.
The figure of her sitting on the Throat of the World is beautiful. It fits extremely well with the contrast of the white mountainside and the clear blue sky.
Is she old?! Or just suppressing her true strength? Her level is that of the weakest dragons, only level 10. Even if you attack her she doesn't really counterattack much. The guilt is real tho.
Kill her!

Odahving (Snow Hunter Wing)Faces: Happy, Angry, Sad, Relaxed, Mara's Amulet
Cute pointsExpressive!!On top of being frank and saying whatever she really thinks, she'll praise any opponent she recognises even if they are a human. When she swears her loyalty with her simple and nice personality, which is rare in Skyrim where every fucker wants to backstab you.
OdahviingYou're hurt, Dovahkiin
Once you've flown the skies of Keizaal, your envy of the dov will only increase.
I gladly acknowledge your Thu'um. Call me when you have need, and I will come if I can.
When you shout her name she goes "Alright, time to spar!!" and comes flying in through the front door straight into a trap. (btw that guard dies no matter what, like Lokir)
In the end, on top of being captured easily
Don't think you'll get away with humiliating me like this!!
she's saying things like a captured female knight.
Just some scales!! It won't hurt!!More of Odahving
Durnehviir (Curse Never Dying)Faces: Happy, Angry, Sad, Relaxed, Mara's Amulet
Cute pointsClumsy!!Tried to create an undead army with necromancy but was tricked and became undead and now has to serve for eternity, trapped.
Qahnaarin!!Calls the protag "Qahnaarin" instead of "Dovahkiin". It's a term of respect to one who has defeated their fellow dragons, but it sounds so cute it doesn't really have any impact behind it.
DurnehviirI therefore honor-name you "Qahnaarin"
She teaches you a shout when you summon her, but instead of teaching you all of it in one go, to learn it all you need to meet her 3 times in total. This must be her secret trick because she's been alone for so long.
Sorry, did you wait long?
I'll teach you the words for Soul Tear now..
Dragonborn: Is she wearing makeup..?
After being imprisoned for so long, she takes to the skies with incredible joy. It's very funny to see her undead minions frantically trying to keep up.

Alduin (Destroyer Devour Master)Faces: Happy, Angry, Sad, Relaxed, Loli-form
Cute pointsDirect management!!If you walk around burial fields, you can see scenes where she is reviving her subordinates. She kinda just ignores you and then flies off so there's not much you can do. awkward.
AlduinOi you, wake up
Alduin has a unique shout "Meteor Storm", where meteors rain down from the sky in an epic final battle! But then the meteors just mostly end up hitting herself.
She mostly shows up in the main questline, and then mostly in the final parts of it, so you don't really even see her after escaping Helgen. Probably a lot of players even forgot about her.

NAMELESS DRAGONS
Lesser dragonsIn the game they appear only appear as grey even though technically their name is "Brown Dragon". If you up the saturation, you kinda see a tint of orange/brown though.
They're the smallest of all dragons,
They lose to bears (default level 10 vs 12)
Blood dragonsThe next level up from lesser dragons. Their horns and spikes have fin-like membranes, and they've got sideways facing pupils like goats.
They lose to giants (default level 20 vs 32)
Extras
Frost dragonsJust as the name implies, they're ice-type. They have blue and white bodies and lots of long thorns.
They counter the musclehead brawlers who just charge in.
At this point they can sort of hold their own against giants (default level 30 vs 32)
Ancient dragonsThey have a large and impressive stature that matches with their simple frame. Their palette of bronze mixed with some gold really gives the feeling of a great dragon from ancient times.
At this point even giants are no match for them (default level 50). NPCs that get caught up in a battle with them won't get off so easily anymore. Here we see Alvor stuck in a fence, dying where he stands.
Serpent dragonsAdded with the DLC "Dragonborn", they appear on the island of Solstheihm. They have neither horns nor spikes and the smooth feel of their scales gives them the appearance of a snake as their name implies.
Dragonborn: Please!! Let me ride you!!
Dragon: Ok.. Sahrotaar will let thuri ride...The first dragon the protag rides after learning the Bend Will shout. "Thuri" in dovah means "master", or "overlord". It's the same "thur" in "Paarthurnax".
She helps bring the dragonborn to Miraak and even helps you during the fight but she gets her soul absorbed by Miraak and dies.
Revered dragonsThey're like really flat. Their spikes aren't on their back, but rather run along their sides. Their large eyes and colour that makes them look venomous makes you think of some sort of insect.
They have a horrible shout, "Drain Vitality" ("Gaan!, Lah Haas!"
) that depletes your health, stamina and magicka.In the Forgotten Vale, there's a pair of Revered Dragons that burst out of the frozen lake surface and attack you from above and below at the same time. This is the type of action that you'll only get to see here.
Legendary dragonsStrongest of the unnamed dragons. Like the Ebony Warrior and Karstaag, she's effectively on the level of a final boss in Skyrim. For that matter though, her design seems rather simple. Her spines are small and few and she's only got one pair of horns. However, her eyes in particular are special - she has four small white eyeballs placed into her eye sockets.
default level 75 wow that strength. really deserves to be called legendary. Her shout shaves away your health, stamina and magicka and her breaths are nothing to sneeze at either. If you don't have a plan when you challenge her, you're definitely going to die.
