Alduin

Alduin the World Eater is the primary antagonist of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Biography
In the early Merethic Era of Skyrim, Alduin was among those worshipped in the Nordic Pantheon. In Skyrim, Alduin interrupts the Dragonborn's execution in Helgen. After attacking Helgen, Alduin would visit various dragon burial sites and resurrect the dragons. The Last Dragonborn was the only one capable of defeating the dragons for good, as they could absorb the dragons' souls. Alduin and the Last Dragonborn would have their first fight on the Throat of the World, an enormous mountain range in the Whiterun Hold region. They would later have their final battle in Sovnegarde, the Nordic afterlife. Here, three Nordic heroes of the past help the Dragonborn kill Alduin once and for all.

Trivia

 * Alduin's title of the World Eater bears a resemblance to Níðhöggr, who gnaws at the roots of Yggdrasil in Norse mythology.
