Matthew already explained what the dragonrend shout does on that old Pennywise VS Dovahkiin Thread: https://vsbattles.com/vsbattles/2451343?useskin=oasis
Cuz i mean, having to explain in every Battle is boring.
Someone should really add immortality and Regenerationn negation and expand the shout description in the Dovahkiin profile.Matthew Schroeder said:People don't understand Dragonrend. People think it's literally just taking away dragons' ability to fly. It's more than that.
Dragons in Elder Scrolls are tiny shards of the Dragon God of Time, Aka Himself. They were never truly born, they just are, and always were, as immutable and immortal beings. They predate the creation of Mundus itself.
They aren't even physical beings either, they have been notably described as "Biological Time Machines powered by ideologies" by authors Michael Kirkbride and Kurt Kuhlmann, and are indeed aspects of the Embodiment of Time itself.
As such, dragons are immortal. Even if their flesh is killed on Nirn they will never fully die, they remain, they linger, as they were and always are.
Dragonrend changes that. It forcibly strips a dragon of their timeless, immortal nature, and makes them experience mortality. The Dragonrend Shout is actually called "JOOR ZAH FRUL" in Dovahzuul, the Dragon Tongue, and it means "Mortal Finite Temporary", exactly the opposite of what dragons are.
So assuming Dragonrend can work on Pennywise, he'd lose his abstract nature and become something mortal, finite and bound by time which the Dovahkiin can straight up punch and kill.
Just like he did to Alduin, killing him forever despite being a major aspect of the Time Dragon, and literally the End of Time.
