Karstaag the ghostly Frost-Giant in Dragonborn is indeed the very same Karstaag from Bloodmoon over 200 years earlier. There is no denying this.

Karstaag in Bloodmoon was still much more difficult than how relatively easy it is to beat him in Dragonborn, even on Legendary Difficulty.

(Edit): Hell, Neloth in Dragonborn doesn't quite resemble how he looked back in Morrowind.

Neither do Ettienne, Isobel or Fallaise for that matter. In Dragonborn, they're just three named generic Hagravens.

Oh yes, before I forget...the DRAUGR in general have different designs in TESV: Skyrim than they did back in Morrowind's Bloodmoon expansion (they also no longer drop the "Gravetar" alchemical ingredient like they did in Bloodmoon). Well then I guess Karstaag evolved exactly the same way the other frost giants were evolving, spiritually.
