The vast world of Skyrim is littered with adversaries lurking around every corner, each of them different from the next — whether in of abilities, species, or even motivation. Some enemies prefer to hang around in groups, like the Bandits and the Forsworn, whereas others like Dragons and Hagravens are often solo beings.
The design of each enemy type is intricate and rich with history, making these characters unique in their own special ways. Therefore, one might wonder how the most prevalent hostile entities in Skyrim would be categorized into their respective sign of the zodiac.
Aries - Draugr
The undead are a common motif in RPG video games, and are found in hordes of putrefying corpses. The Draugr are no exception — they are Aries because they are both powerful and courageous (as much as one can be when dead.)
They form clusters of highly stratified groups in which there are different Draugr leaders at different levels, a clear sign that they are an organization-focused group.
Taurus - Vampire
Vampires in Skyrim are based on the original Eastern European folklore version, being dependent on blood and unable to resist the effects of heat and daylight. Being Tauruses, they are obviously very hardworking and devoted to their profession, mostly because their life literally depends on killing others.
Vampires can also be a headstrong bunch, as evidenced in the personality of Lord Harkon, whose confidence in his own abilities and refusal to alter his behavior are actually traits that run in parallel with each other.
Gemini - Dragon
The Dragons are the primary antagonists in the story, which makes them both extremely powerful and intelligent far beyond the meager limits that mortals are used to.
This clan of beings exhibits the deeply Gemini characteristics of flexibility and curiosity: in fact, they are able to adapt themselves to various kinds of situations (which is partly why they are so difficult to take down at first.) Nevertheless, Dragons sometimes behave unpredictably, considering that they are one of the rare races who are both heroes and villains depending on circumstance.
Cancer - Mudcrab
The notion that Mudcrabs fall under Cancer (or the Crab) is mere coincidence, but their tendencies do align to a very large degree. They might be easy to destroy, but they are simultaneously protective of themselves and their territories to the point of chasing the Dragonborn down in order to defend their own.
Further, their temperaments are regularly volatile, quite like those born under this sign, as Mudcrabs regularly overextend themselves in their actions.
Leo - Falmer
There may be innumerable varieties of Falmer, but every single one of them can be neatly classified into Leo — their single-minded ambition, to decimate those who live under the sun, is symbolic of their misplaced pride and aggression to those who are different from themselves.
Given that they are degenerate versions of the once-glorious Snow Elves, the Falmer continue to retain similar expectations from others, although currently they are more interested in ending conflicts through death and destruction rather than dialogue.
Virgo - Rogue Mage
There are many types of Rogue Mage in the game: Elemental (Fire, Storm, Ice) Mages, Necromancers, and so on. All of them behave like the typical Virgo in that they are some of the smartest villains in Skyrim, replete with an elaborate set of offensive and defensive techniques that are harder than usual to by.
The Rogue Mages can be rather manipulative mini-bosses, since they usually enthrall innocent people (or creatures) into doing their dark bidding.
Libra - Giant
As Librans, the Giants of Skyrim understand that there needs to be a harmony between various facets of the world in order for it to continue to exist, which is why they rarely interact with those not part of their community.
Of course, they constantly take this idea of non-partisanship too far by violently attacking any living thing that strays too close to them or their precious mammoths. As such, the Giants try to avoid entering into conflict for no reason, but they are willing to walk the walk if their buttons are pushed far enough.
Scorpio - Bandit
Bandits are rather aggressive combatants, which makes them ideal Scorpios, the sign known for a spirit so inflammable that the smallest spark is usually sufficient to set off a massive conflagration.
They know exactly what they want, although the specific quality of their desires depends on the location they are in. Bandits are incredibly loyal, but only to themselves and their chiefs; making everyone else fair game according to their perspective.
Sagittarius - Dragon Priest
The Dragon Priests are wise souls, having "lived" for the longest time, and amassed entire fields of knowledge and power, even if they technically only use it for "evil." These typical Sagittarians are prone to thinking far beyond the ambitition of most normal NPCs, as evidenced in the fact that they are extremely troublesome to vanquish.
Most importantly, the Dragon Priests are characterized by an arrogant mentality; they deem themselves superior to others by dint of their association with the Dragons themselves (although one must acknowledge the sheer power located in their Masks).
Capricorn - Forsworn
The Forsworn are nothing if not dedicated to their cause — the expulsion of the Nords from what they claim to be their lands. Being Capricorns, they are driven by an unyielding zeal to see their people freed from oppression, although their tactics are uncharacteristically violent and destructive in comparison with their alleged philosophy.
The Forsworn are quick to take offense at any perceived slight against them, a paranoia that is reflected in their attitudes towards a world changing way too fast for them to adapt to it.
