Initially shared by user Carg72, he witnessed a hostile encounter with a Dragon and Mammoth, two of the most prominent enemies to encounter in the game. While it’s common to see hostile enemies fight amongst each other in the wild – players have had a lot of fun over the years seeing Giants use their club to smash monsters into the air – this Dragon vs. Mammoth fight is a bit different because the Dragon lifts it into the air.Dragons in Skyrim have various attacks to use, and grabbing is a known one. However, that’s usually only for smaller human enemies, so seeing them try it out on a larger foe is very bizarre. In the case of the Mammoth, it was not at all equipped to deal with the situation.In the Reddit post, some other users also showed bewilderment at the event. User knightsolaire2 stated, “This has to be the first recorded footage of this since the release! That’s crazy how, after a decade, people still are finding new things.” However, another user named ForgedRaven claimed to have seen the event before but only found skepticism from other players; “I saw this the first year Skyrim was out, near the fields of Whiterun. No one believed me!“This bizarre event and the attention it has garnered on the Skyrim Reddit serves as a good reminder of the staying power of Skyrim. Despite newer and more ambitious games coming out in recent years, many players still return to Bethesda’s well-loved RPG because it always surprises people with something strange to find – especially with the amount ofambitious modsstill being released for the game. And 13 years after its release, people still find a lot of weird in Skyrim.If you’re looking to venture back to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, then it’s readily available on all platforms.
