Some time ago I was leaving Morthal, walking up that steep hill that "T's" at the top of the hill. About half way up the controller vibrates, camera shakes, and I'm: "Uh-oh, dragon!". So I run up the hill trying to sight him and to hopefully draw him away from the town. Soon as I reach the top, I turn right and see him go into hovercraft-mode for a breath attack; but he's not focused on me, there's a giant on that ledge that overlooks Morthal. My first thought is, "Wth is a giant doing here?"
Anyway, I like giants (they saved my bacon a couple of times early in the game with dragons) and was glad for the opportunity to help one out. I pulled out my bow, hit the dragon a couple of times and off it flies to come back for another pass. This time it lands, but near the giant. I hit it a couple more times with the bow (or so I thought) before it takes off again. Well, the giant had been down on a knee, gets up and immediately charges me. "Well, crap, I guess one of my arrows missed." So Eola (my follower) and I backpedal as I notch another arrow. Before I get the shot off, the dragon swoops down, picks up the giant in its jaws and flies off.
That was the first time I'd seen a dragon do that. "Holy eat on the fly, Batman!" I just leaned back on the couch stunned at the whole circumstances of what'd happened. Finally I looked back at Eola and she just shrugged her shoulders ... cracked me up. Well, by the time I'd recovered my wits, the AI determined it wasn't done with me yet and Mr. Blood Dragon lands smack on the road and in my face.
Now at this point, Eola was a few meters behind me and had lots of options, including: native destruction spells or summons, staff of ice storm, staff of sparks, sanguine rose. Guess which one she chose ...

None of the above. I hotkey to 1-H and as I raise spellbreaker expecting a breath attack, I see a little, blue-glowing bunny run past me to attack the dragon. I had to bring up the favorites menu so that I could pause the game ... because uncontrollable laughter was imminent.
