And even though people sometimes become very slimier to daedric princes/gods there's a large difference between being alike and being completely the same. So it's likely there's either multiple Sheogorath's or there's only one. I could buy the turning into him theory if they weren't exactly alike but they're far too similar to be different people, unless perhaps Sheogorath takes over the bodies or something, which could be a possibility. A way to escape from Jyggalag perhaps?. They even have exactly the same fetishes (cheese. Tears, etc. Mentioned in oblivion from the original). Also, Jyggalag comes around every 1000 years or so, at least before the conflict in Oblivion. That might have changed somewhat after (and for all we know might have changed again), but Jyggalag IS Sheogorath. So if Jyggalag is out there somewhere then there HAS to be at least two Sheogorath's, or at least two of the same person in different places. Then again, we never really see Sheogorath in person in Skyrim do we, since we're inside someone's head? That could at least explain being in two places at once (real world and dream world which we sometimes see in the game itself). Either way I think whichever Sheogorath it is just wants to confuse us and leave a carrot on the end of a stick with no sure answer one way or the other. Sounds like something he'd do. Maybe that's how Beth intended it. There's only one Sheogorath. It used to be Jyggalag, that curse was lifted and now the CoC is Sheogorath.
