Draugr (Skyrim)

The Draugr are undead Nordic warriors who were the original residents of Skyrim. Having engaged in acts of cannibalism during their lifetimes, they are cursed to walk the earth as undead. They retain the ability to wield weapons such as swords, axes, and bows. They have previously appeared in the Morrowind expansion pack Bloodmoon, notably in the barrows of Solstheim. Draugrs have the ability to use Dragon shouts.

Trivia
Draugr take their emythological inspiration and several traits from the draugr, undead creatures from Norse mythology. It should be noted that one differentiates between sea-draugar and land-draugar (draugar being plural of draugr): while land-draugar were simply undead with numerous magical abilities, sea-draugar were fishermen who had drowned at sea, thus being denied the priviliege of being buried.
