10 Greatest Uses Of Mythological Creatures In Gaming History

Dragons have been a part of mythology no matter where you look in the world. In Chinese mythology that are essentially gods, owning power over the elements and being revered as legendary creatures. Move further west and they are presented as indomitable foes who have the ability to wreak havoc on humans through aerial bombardments and the ability to breath fire, though they can be taken out by guys called George if need be.

It is the latter interpretation of dragon-based mythology that plays a key role in the events of Skyrim, with the creatures acting as both the primary antagonists of the game in addition to being the source of the Dragonborn's unique powers.

No other game has made such effective use of the creatures, despite the fact that they have been utilised in so many different ways in a plethora of titles.

In Skyrim they are no simply enemy. Instead, they are the creatures that the entire plot of the game is built around and the player's interactions with them play a huge part in advancing the story and allowing the Dragonborn to become even more powerful.
