Elder Scrolls: Every Daedra Lord RANKED From Worst To Best

5. Mehrunes Dagon

Prince of Destruction, Revolution, and Ambition (amongst other things), Mehrunes Dagon featured as the main antagonist of Oblivion, and thereby deserves a high place on this list.

Their endgame appearance alone was an awesome spectacle as the massive Dagon is a true moment of wonder, sticking out among the series's set piece scenes, which are few and far between.

Consequentiality is what raises the stakes here: Dagon is one the handful of Daedra who feel genuinely important to the stories of the Elder Scrolls, rather than just a strange side figure or a novelty to be happened upon if you stray from the fray.

One downside, which has Dagon tumble a few places in this list, is that their 'Razor' artefact is a bit naff. In the grand scheme of things, the epic, heavy metal aesthetics of the Prince of Destruction boil down to... a small pointy dagger.

Not bad, I suppose, but not great, unlike the rest of Dagon's lore.
