we all know the real nasty happens in the IronForge tram station ;)
In ancient times (The Merethic Era specifically, around about 5000ish years ago by the start of Skyrim) the Nords believed in the so-called "Totem Gods", which was their original faith from before they came south from Atmora. These gods were the Fox, Bear, She-Wolf, Snake, Hawk, Moth, Whale, and Dragon. That's why you see those animals everywhere in ancient nord ruins. They worshipped all the Totem Gods but the Dragon (Alduin) was by far the most important. The ancient nords believed dragons were godlike beings in service to Alduin (who they basically believed was Akatosh but it's not a perfect 1-1 comparison). The trick is that each dragon would only speak to them through a single chosen individual, who was venerated as a holy figure and given great power in their society (the Dragon Priests). At its height ancient nord civilization had many dragon priests, each speaking for (and bound to) a specific dragon. Some sources claim this Dragon Cult was actually pretty well liked back on Atmora but that they spiralled way out of control after Ysgrammor conquered Skyrim. It's not really explained why the Dragon Priests became so cruel of how they managed to become so politically powerful but it seems like the dragons retreated from society and generally let their Priests do what they wanted. This eventually resulted in the Dragon War, when the common people got sick and tired of being murdered and enslaved and overthrew the Dragon Cult and started killing all the dragons. When they realized they were screwed, the Dragon Priests began building massive and highly elaborate tombs for themselves and their most loyal servants. They had a plan, though: they would seal themselves inside where they would await Alduin's return. When Alduin returned in the distant future, the Dragon Cult believed he would resurrect them to rebuild the so-called "True Faith" once more. For the most part, the draugr were pretty passive since they were entombed with their Dragon Priests. They'd kill the occasional intruder but they didn't do anything else besides shuffle around and pray at their masters' sarcophagi. Then Alduin returned. Suddenly all the ancient nord barrows got more lively. Now the draugr are up and about. Now the Dragon Priests are stirring from their long slumber. They're awake because this is the moment they were promised all those years ago: Alduin has returned and called his followers to his service once more. So great was their devotion to their religion that they will rise and serve him even in death.
i think it's based on this man from D&D

u = a
i know it's twilight but would be funny if the castle became Hogwarts when he ever returns
No he is not fat in mythology, Heis the Messenger that runs up and down the tree between all other life on Yggdrasil, so this is a choice made by the Author. According to Vigfússon, Ratatoskr means "tusk the traveller" or "the climber tusk."
you are indeed correct u can call this a sea dragon or Snake i mean looks cool tho the Leviathan
