While they can be annoying to many players, especially if they have questionable AI, generally NPCs breathe life into a vast world of lore and exploration. The Elder Scrolls series is chock-full of memorable NPCs, and together they form a sort of glue that make the games that extra bit interesting. It's also fun to mess around with these non-playable characters, and while it seems it wasn't intentional, one player discovers that a Skyrim character has the ability to catch arrows with their teeth.
Uploading a couple of screenshots to the Skyrim Subreddit recently, user Ebony_Phoenix has managed to get an NPC to pull off a pretty neat trick. In the images, it can be seen that a necromancer has somehow managed to get an arrow lodged into their mouth. Given how close to the edge the arrow sticks out, and the fact that the NPC is still upright, it looks like they've simply discovered a new party trick where they can catch flying arrows in their teeth without succumbing to injury.

It should be pointed out, however, that the character is almost certainly dead, and the arrow in the mouth trick is just a very accurate, albeit perhaps not intentional, shot. Given that Skyrim's robed necromancer mages are antagonistic, it seems likely that the user intended to kill the offending character, and the resulting screenshot is simply an act of serendipity, amusing though it is. One user in the comments even suggested that the mage looks like they're about to ask the player for a romantic dance, with the way the arrow is held in the teeth like a rose.
