The '''Dragonborn''' ({{ja|ドラゴンボーン|Doragonbōn}}, ''Dragonborn''), or '''Dovahkiin''' ({{ja|ドヴァーキン|Dovākin}}, ''Dovahkiin''), is the main protagonist of the action RPG video game ''{{iw|wikipedia|The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim}}'', developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks.

==Origin==
The journey begins with the last Dragonborn waking up in a cart with several other people. The player is brought up to speed that they had been captured by the imperial legion for unknown reasons and is sentenced to death. Just before the execution, the dragon Alduin ambushes the area, which allows the Dragonborn to escape. The Dragonborn then travels across Skyrim, the frigid northern region of Tamriel, and goes on many quests to obtain new abilities and resources to take down the many enemies in their path.

The Dragonborn has the ability to permanently kill and consume the soul of a slain dragon, absorbing its knowledge and power and using it to unlock words of power, allowing them to use the ''Thu'um'', or Shouts; each shout has a different effect depending on the word being used. These dragon abilities, on top of the abilities of whatever race the player chooses the Dragonborn to be, makes them an exceptionally powerful character in the universe, capable of feats few others can accomplish. The Last Dragonborn is the only person able to stand against the threat of dragons returning to the war-torn nation of Skyrim, chief among them being Alduin, the World-Eater, said to bring about the end of the world.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
===As a costume===

The Dragonborn was released as a DLC {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}} costume on June 29th, 2021, alongside [[Kazuya Mishima]]. While the Dragonborn can wear a multitude of equipment in ''Skyrim'', the Mii costume is based on their equipment seen in most ''Skyrim'' promotional material: a Steel Sword, Studded Armor, and Iron Boots, Gauntlets and Helmet. Similarly, the Mii used in the costume's reveal trailer depicts the Dragonborn as a male Nord. 

In the costume's reveal trailer, the Dragonborn Mii Swordfighter is first seen in [[Kapp'n]]'s bus, in reference to the opening scene of ''Skyrim'', where the player awakes inside of a carriage on their way to be executed. The scene with the Dragonborn Mii Swordfighter fighting a giant {{SSBU|Ganondorf}} holding a [[Home-Run Bat]] is a reference to ''Skyrim''{{'}}s common Giant enemies and the clubs that they wield. The [[Ω form]] of [[Distant Planet]] is most likely a reference to the fields outside of the city of Whiterun, where the Dragonborn will likely encounter their first Giant to fight. The Dragonborn Mii Swordfighter is later seen knocking out {{SSBU|Wolf}} and {{SSBU|Yoshi}}, possibly a reference to the Khajiit and Argonian races respectively. At the end of the trailer, the Dragonborn Mii Costume is standing at the base of the Statue of the Goddess on [[Skyloft]]. This is likely a reference to the Dragonborn standing in front of a Word Wall that they may discover on their journey throughout Skyrim. It could also be a reference to the Shrines of the Nine Divines and the various Standing Stones that, when prayed to or activated by the Dragonborn, give them a specific buff or buffs. 

Although it isn't available in-game, ''Skyrim''{{'}}s main theme, "''[https://youtu.be/6fILxnBH1Tg/ Dragonborn]''", is used in the trailer and when [[Masahiro Sakurai]] talks about Dragonborn's inclusion. Notably, the main vocals from the song are absent.

==Trivia==
*As with other Mii Costumes based on characters from primarily M-rated franchises, the logo for ''The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim'', the game the Dragonborn hails from, is absent in the American version of his [[Mii Costume]] reveal trailer, being replaced with a wordmark featuring the character's name. Unlike previous examples, this change was also present in the UK presentation. This also applies to [[Dante]] and [[Doom Slayer]].
**Despite this, Masahiro Sakurai can be heard saying the name ''Skyrim'' when talking about the costume's inclusion, though it isn't referred to by name in the subtitles. 
*The Dragonborn is the second character from Bethesda Game Studios to be released as a DLC Mii Fighter Costume in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', following [[Vault Boy]] from the {{uvm3|Fallout}} series. Unlike ''Fallout'', however, ''The Elder Scrolls'' was always a franchise owned by Bethesda, as opposed to being bought from Interplay.
