Dremora at the Shrine of Mehrunes Dagon

Dremora are humanoid Daedra aligned with the Daedric Prince Mehrunes Dagon. They are often very intelligent and are generally hostile. In lore, it is said they can be found in clans of large numbers in the wastes of Oblivion. Dremora are grouped into several different castes: Churl, Caitiff, Kynval, Kynreeve, Kynmarcher, Markynaz, and Valkynaz. Dremora are a rare sight in Skyrim, only appearing as summoned creatures and in a few set locations, such as the Shrine of Mehrunes Dagon, Shalidor's Maze, Azura's Star Interior, and the DeadlandsCC.

The other way to encounter Dremora in Skyrim is by summoning one. There are a few ways to summon Dremora:

Dremora Types[edit]

There are three types of Dremora, based on their preferred fighting style (melee fighters, archers, and warlocks). All Dremora are NPCs, which means that they have black souls. All types of Dremora have a 100% chance of dropping a Daedra Heart on death, making them one of the few guaranteed sources of this rare ingredient.

Melee Fighters[edit]

These Dremora belong to the Dremora NPC class and use one or two-handed weapons in battle. They wear a unique version of Daedric Armor available only to Dremora and wield a leveled mace, sword, war axe, warhammer, greatsword, or battleaxe, all of which are enchanted with fire damage. The type of enchantment depends on the quality of the material, as follows:

They also carry an iron dagger and will drop a Daedra Heart on death.

Summonable Dremora Lord[edit]

A Dremora Lord

A Dremora Lord can be summoned using either Conjure Dremora Lord, an Expert level Conjuration spell or the Sanguine Rose. The Dremora Lord is a Dremora Valynaz, a melee fighter equipped with the standard unique Daedric armor that wields a Daedric Greatsword of the Inferno.

The Dremora Lord has 545 health and 230 stamina. Dragon Priests cannot take control of conjured Dremora Lords. Furthermore, while the Dremora Lord is technically not an Atronach, it is affected by the Summoner and Atromancy Conjuration perks, although it is not affected by Elemental Potency. The Twin Souls perk also applies to Dremora Lords, making it possible to have both a Dremora Lord and an atronach or thrall, or two Dremora Lords. Unlike other NPC Dremoras, Dremora Lords cannot be pickpocketed for weapons or armor, and they will not drop Daedra Hearts because their bodies disappear upon death. They are also immune to all Soul Trap effects.

Dremora Lord Dialogue[edit]

  In combat   After defeating an enemy   After spotting an enemy   After losing sight of an enemy   After being defeated
  • "I will feast on your heart."
  • "I honor my lord by destroying you!"
  • "You are weak, mortal."
  • "Are you prepared for your death?"
  • "Oblivion take you!"
  • "You will bleed!"
  • "Fall before me!"
  • "No match at all."
  • "There could be no other end."
  • "I smell weakness..."
  • "A challenger is near..."
  • "Another who seeks death."
  • "There you are weakling!"
  • "You meet your end, mortal."
  • "No one escapes!"
  • "Now you suffer!"
  • "You return, foolish mortal?"
  • "Hiding will not save you now."
  • "You cannot escape me!"
  • "Quiet again."
  • "Nothing after all."
  • "No... not by a mortal..."
  • "It cannot... end like this..."

Notes[edit]

  • Game data reveals that all DremoraRace NPCs are modeled directly on a Dark Elf character model, with the only changes being: horns, their own unique skin tone, their own unique complexion (red facial markings), and their in-game height being equal to that of the High Elf.
  • The Daedric Prince Sanguine appears in the form of a Dremora.
  • Several NPCs are classified in the game data as Dremora.
  • Seven of the Dremora lines appear in the book I Was Summoned by a Mortal in ESO.

Bugs[edit]

  • Strangely, some Dremora, either through natural spawning or use of the console, do not use the regular Dremora voice type, but instead sound like male Nords. ?
  • Although there is an Archer class for Dremora, they do not appear in the game; only the melee fighters and mages can be encountered.
  • Dremora may not voice their death quotes when they die; only pained grunts or yells are heard, instead.
