Alduin the World-Eater is the dragon god of destruction and main villain of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. After making one of the best entrances in all of gaming, he remains a rarely encountered but nevertheless pervasive presence.

Throughout the adventure, Alduin resurrects dead dragons who plague you throughout your quest. His mission, as you might have guessed, is to devour the world.

Looking deeper into Elder Scrolls lore, he becomes even more of a big deal. As an aspect of the god of time, it is not only Alduin's mission, but his cosmic purpose, to restart time. In his hubris, he chose instead to conquer the world.

Granted, the lore does establish the player character's Dragonborn as the one person who can defeat Alduin, but for a primordial force of creation with the power to literally eat the world and create a whole new timeline, Alduin is a chump.

Fighting Alduin is exactly like fighting any of the dozens of dragons you've faced by that point - make him land, attack, repeat. Except you have a special ability to weaken him, making him a lot easier than those other dragons too.

Fighting a planet-eating god should be a LOT more interesting.
