Line 166:
** Probably averted with Jyggalag, as you had the powers of Sheogorath by that point.
** More or less played straight with Alduin in ''Skyrim'', as he is truly supposed to be unkillable. Although by the time you fight him properly {{spoiler|you have the heroes who banished him in the first place helping you out}}, so perhaps it makes sense.
* [[Disposable Bandits]]: Common in ''The Elder Scrolls'', although ''[[The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall]]'' is a possible exception as it never actually bothers to clarify just what those hostile humans in non-plot dungeons are doing there.
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: In the opposite direction. Azura's response to the government of a certain tribe of elves snubbing her? Give them all dark skin, strangely shaped cheekbones, and red eyes. [[Sarcasm Mode|That'll teach'em to ignore the warnings of a Goddess.]] ...Weaksauce.
* [[Draconic Divinity]]: Divinity goes hand in hand with dragons in the ''Elder Scrolls'' universe. The [[Top God]] of the Imperial pantheon, Akatosh, is the father of dragonkind and often takes the form of a dragon himself when he interacts with the mortal plane of Mundus. This appearance is widely used as a symbol by the Third Empire of Man, to the point its currency is called "drakes" due to his appearance on their backside. All legitimate Cyrodiilic emperors are also "Dragonborn" due to descending from a holy covenant formed by Akatosh infusing the saint Alessia with his divine blood, which would ensure that the gods would protect Mundus from the Daedra as long as a Dragonborn emperor sits on the throne.
