The Vikings believed that the physical death was not the end. For those who had proved themselves worthy in life and battle, the great halls of Valhalla awaited in the glorious kingdom of the gods known as Asgard. There, the dead – now glorious, eternal beings, dined with the gods and goddesses themselves and lived on forever knowing no pain and having no want. But in some ancient beliefs, the afterlife was a much more immediate endeavour, in that whilst the spirit might have made it to the heavens, the corpse of the deceased remained in the grave….where it was reanimated with a strange, ethereal power.

Those undead dudes are all over Skyrim.
Lol, the cat is definitely a good form for tricking Hoomans…. 🙀
Fascinating, that the idea of tangling their legs as a means to stop them from rising, is very similar to the Chinese vampire or Revenant called Jiângshi, those ones are called hopping vampires because their legs are bound too, you can just imagine The Draugr and Jiângshi participating in the 50 yard Stumble at the Undead Olympics…moving on. Love the channel and subscribed! cheers to you!
There was also no shortage of horned helmets…
Perhaps in all core grains of legend, the moral is…respect the resting place of the dead. Or else, the draugr will be your fate.
