Users will run into different types of Draugr, such as the Overlord or Wight, in the dungeons and tombs that are scattered all around the world. They are a fairly common enemy, so players will often battle several Draugr during a particular level or quest in Skyrim. Now, one player witnesses a Draugr kill itself by running into a trap.

A Reddit user named SelectionRecent5699 has shared a funny video of them encountering a Draugr in a Skyrim dungeon. The user starts attacking the enemy, but the Draugr doesn’t seem interested in fighting and ends up running away, before stepping on a pressure plate and hilariously triggering the massive spike trap that launches it back toward the player. However, SelectionRecent5699 is not out of danger as some Draugr enemies spawn in the same area before the video ends.
Some users talk about how the Draugr simply wanted to go back to sleep, and how Skyrim players kept disturbing their rest. One fan compares it to how followers in Skyrim keep running into similar situations while exploring dungeons, with some of them getting stuck in a loop of constantly triggering traps. A few users also mention the funny running animations of the Draugr as it steps on the pressure plate.
One fan believes it to be a scripted event, as it offers a great opportunity for developers to introduce players to dungeons traps. However, another user mentions that the actual scripted events take place when Arvel the Swift runs into a trap in Skyrim after stealing an antique golden claw. Nevertheless, this incident seems to be a common occurrence as several fans mention witnessing a similar accident while exploring the many dungeons of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.
Gamers will run into all sorts of traps in the game, and some have started using them to intentionally kill enemies in the area. As an example, one Skyrim player showed a neat tactic in which they tricked enemies into triggering pressure plates and getting hit with a similar spiked trap.
The Elder Scrolls 5 Skyrim: Anniversary Edition is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
