Durnehviir

Durnehviir ( in Dragon language) is an undead Dragon in.

Appearance
Visually, he has a unique look unlike any other Dragon previously encountered. His body bears a resemblance to the Frost Dragon, with massive protruding spikes from the back of his neck down to his tail. Four curved horns sprout from his head and his wings look extremely weathered.

When he is slain by the Dragonborn, his body burns with a unique, purplish fire, though his Dragon Soul is not absorbed.

Interactions
Durnehviir is the Keeper of the Soul Cairn. He is encountered in highest spires of the undead realm during the course of the add-on. His unique Dragon Shout can summon several Bonemen to his aid during battle.

After receiving the Elder Scroll from Sedana's mother, the dragonborn encounters Durnehviir on his way out of the Boneyard. He tells the dragonborn that he was a worthy advorsary, and how he was fooled by the Ideal Masters into becoming trapped in the Soul Cairn for eternity. He says that he wishes to fly through the skies of Tamrie, once again, but can only do so temporarily or he will perish. So, he teaches you the shout Summon Durnehviir to summon him. Whenever you summon him in Skyrim, he can aid you in battle. And for the first three times you summon, he teaches you the words for his Dragon Shout, Soul Tear.

Bugs

 * When you first get his Dragon shout to call him and upgrade it completely, the Dragonborn sometimes will only say a third of the shout.

Trivia

 * His name means "Curse Never Dying".
 * Calling him three times using the shout, "Summon Durnehviir", will result in the dragonborn receiving all three words of "Soul Tear".
