Show: A Blade in the Dark

After being resurrected by Alduin in Kynesgrove: Alduin: "Sahloknir, ziil gro dovah ulse! Slen Tiid Vo! (Sahloknir, I bind your dragon spirit for eternity! Flesh Time Undo!)" Alduin uses the Shout to shatter the stone lid on Sahloknir's burial mound, allowing Sahloknir to emerge with a roar and step out before turning his attention to Alduin as his body rejuvenates over his skeleton: Sahloknir: "Alduin, thuri! Boaan tiid vokriiha suleyksejun kruziik? (Alduin, my lord! Has the time come to revive our ancient realm?)" Alduin: "Geh, Sahloknir, kaali mir. Ful, losei Dovahkiin? Zu'u koraav nid nol dov do hi. (Yes, Sahloknir, my Champion. So, you are Dragonborn? I see none of the dragonkind in you.) You do not even know our tongue, do you? Such arrogance, to dare take for yourself the name of Dovah. Sahloknir, krii daar joorre. (Sahloknir, kill these mortals.)

Trivia

• He can breathe both Fire Breath and Frost Breath.
• Sahloknir is level dependent; if the Dragonborn is past level 20, Sahloknir will spawn as a Blood Dragon, and will appear as even stronger forms as the Dragonborn's level grows (PC and Xbox 360 confirmed).
• Miraak can steal Sahloknir's soul after he has been defeated.

• He may rise from the ground already covered in his flesh.
• If killed with Mehrunes' Razor as he rises, the Dragonborn gets his soul, but his skin burns during his resurrection by Alduin.
• If Sahloknir is killed before his flesh comes back he will continue to regenerate his flesh, but the Dragonborn still gets his soul leaving a fully fleshed Sahloknir dead on the ground. This can be fixed by the Dragonborn searching the dragon, instantly skeletonizing him.
