The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is all about the dragons, and at long last, there is a mod that allows players to transform into one of the winged beasts.
To say that The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is popular would be to underestimate just how much of a behemoth it has become. The fact that the cat game Stray has a couple of Easter eggs about Bethesda's epic RPG shows that the industry at large, as well as the fan base in general, is still being influenced by it after more than ten years. One of the most notable things about the game is its focus on dragons, and one person has now made it possible to play as one.
As spotted by PCGamesN, user KataPUMB uploaded a mod called "Feral - Dragon - Avatar" which allows Skyrim players to transform into a dragon, with there being a selection to choose from. The way it works, according to the description on Nexus Mods, is via a new Shout, with the ability to change being available through a quest. It's possible to choose between silver, black, blue, red, and more, with each variation having its own advantages and disadvantages.

Dragons are a key aspect of Skyrim, forming a major part of the game's storyline. While traditionally a sizeable threat to the player or any NPC that happens to be caught in the crossfire, KataPUMB's mod gives the option to finally become one, something which many fans have likely been dreaming of for a long time. What's interesting about this add-on is that it even comes with a custom perk tree, with the ability to improve shouts, gain strength, devour souls, and other perks, which means this is more than just an aesthetic mod.
The world of Skyrim is beautiful and complex, with vast swathes of land to discover. Like all Elder Scrolls titles, this decade-old release places the player in the heart of the story, emphasizing the need to fulfill a destiny. This is the first entry in the long-running Bethesda series to officially feature dragons, and many fans will remember that initial feeling of one looming above before it swoops down to attack.
There are many popular open world games out there, but for some reason, Skyrim has stood the test of time. At more than ten years old, many are now wondering when the follow-up will make an appearance. However, for now it seems like the 2011 epic is staying firmly in the limelight, and some of the reason for this continued popularity is the ongoing support from the modding community that is ensuring the game has as much life as possible.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
