Serpentine Dragons are a species of dragon introduced in The Elder Scrolls V: Dragonborn. They can be found around Solstheim at level 50 or higher.
Physical appearance
Unlike other dragons, a serpentine dragon's head resembles that of a snake, hence its name. Furthermore, their scales are much smoother and finer than those of other dragons and they have a pronounced underbite.
Combat
The combat is the same as that of other dragons. It attacks with both Fire Breath and Frost Breath, and the typical melee skills of the dragon include a tail and wing slams, along with biting at the Dragonborn.
Named dragons
- Sahrotaar, one of Miraak's personal dragon mounts, is used by the Dragonborn to reach Miraak during the quest "At the Summit of Apocrypha."

Bugs
This section contains bugs related to Serpentine Dragon. Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:
|
- 360 PS3 Sometimes, when trying to kill a serpentine dragon, it does not die. Instead, it will continue to fly above without a health meter.
- Solution: Use Bend Will on the dragon, it will try to land but instead it will crash and die.
- PC Serpentine dragons spawned using the console may not give souls when killed.
- PC 360 When in combat, a dragon soul will be absorbed even though the dragon is still alive and hostile. The same visual effects when a soul is absorbed will occur—including the dragon's flesh burning—leaving behind a flying skeletal dragon. It cannot be killed afterwards. Loading a previous save is the only known fix for non-PC versions.
- PC (Fix) This can be fixed with the
kill
command on the console. Target the dragon and use the command on it before it is fully absorbed. This will fix the bug on future encounters of the same dragon type.
