Krosis

Krosis is one of the eight Dragon Priests found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. His name means "Sorrow" in dragon language.

Interactions
Krosis can be encountered at the Dragon Lair of Shearpoint in the company of a leveled dragon.

He emerges from his sarcophagus located directly in front of a Word Wall once approached. Krosis is a frost-based dragon priest, is however often mistaken for a fire-based type, due to his tendency for using his Staff of Fireballs.

Notable items
Upon his defeat, Krosis drops the Krosis Mask - one of the eight mysterious Dragon Masks located throughout Skyrim. Collecting all eight masks is a requirement for the unmarked quest to restore the Dragon Priest Shrine.

He also carries a Staff of Fireballs.

Trivia

 * Draugr will occasionally say "Unslaad Krosis", which means "Eternal Sorrow" in the dragon tongue.
 * When Paarthurnax and Odahviing engage in discussion with the Dragonborn, they tend to say "Krosis" as the human word "pardon". Krosis is usually used in this way when the Dragonborn does not fully understand the subject area of what the Dragon says.
 * Because dragon priests have a natural tendency to float backwards away from their attackers or otherwise strafe to maintain a healthy distance, Krosis is known to sometimes float off the northern cliff of Shearpoint if attacked from any direction other than north.

Bugs

 * Sometimes if you get close to Krosis fast enough when he gets out of its coffin, there's a chance that Krosis won't attack you at all (assuming you maintain the same distance).
 * When killing the dragon before facing Krosis, and then hiding behind the dragons skeleton may cause Krosis to float back and forth aimlessly, allowing you to shoot him with arrows without being attacked by him. Using a shout on him seems to "reactivate" him, though.
 * Sometimes, if you use the Unrelenting Force shout, or finish Krosis off with an arrow, he may become trapped in amongst the rocks on the cliff, making it impossible for you to loot his body and retrieve the mask.
 * Leaving the Dragonstone and coming back (without acquiring the mask) will make the ash pile of Krosis disappear, making the mask of Krosis unavailable. The armor/skeleton however should still be present, and possible to loot.
 * After killing the Dragon sometimes Krosis doesnt come out of his tomb at all.
 * Sometimes after defeating Krosis, his body might disappear and impossible to loot any of his items.
