5 most memorable dragons to fight in video games

sportskeeda.com:

Like in other media, dragons are the epitome of mythical creatures in high fantasy in video games. Being generally larger than most characters in whatever video game they appear in, they may tower over the player character, providing a sense of humility or appear as a challenge, depending on players' outlook on life.

While many games have dragons that are non-hostile and even friendly, it is the non-friendly variety that provides the best entertainment as, more often than not, it ends in a spectacular boss fight, giving players the satisfaction of going toe-to-toe with a dragon.

Here are five of the most epic dragons in video games that players can tackle and possibly even defeat to gain useful regards, but more importantly, the knowledge that they have bested a dragon.

At the very start of Skyrim, it is made very clear who the main antagonist is. A large dragon interrupts the execution of a player to burn down a village of relatively innocent people out of sheer spite. It is, of course, Alduin, The Devourer.

Players might assume the Devourer in the title refers to him munching on humans as, over the course of the game, they might witness other dragons chomping up NPCs. However, it is later revealed that Alduin is actually the Devourer of souls, gaining power through them and becoming strong enough to hunt even in the afterlife.

The Dragonborn's quest leads them to Sovngarde, to the hall of the slain, where they call upon the heroes of old for aid and together battle Alduin at the end of time itself. Using the dragon's power, players must take on Alduin to slay him a final time, fulfilling their role as the Dragonborn and delivering the entire world from ending. It is one of the best endings in a fantasy video game ever.
