While players can fight adult NPCs, kids in Skyrim are entirely invulnerable, as it’s impossible to kill them, they don’t take any damage, and there is no blood splatter. Skyrim mods allow gamers to customize their gameplay experience, and most people use them to improve the graphics or add quality-of-life features. There is indeed a mod that lets players harm children, but a Skyrim player recently uploaded a short clip that shows adults attacking a child supposedly without any mods.

User Ok-Acanthisitta5392 states that they went back to a previous Skyrim save and saw Alvor, his wife Sigrid, and Hadvar attacking a child. Alvor lives in a small town named Riverwood, and he is one of the first NPCs players meet after completing the game’s intro. Acanthisitta believes that Alvor is attacking his own child and claims they did not use any mods to capture this footage. They also want to find a possible reason for this, and users in the comment section have shared some theories. Fans should note that this footage could be fake, and it’s possible mods were involved in its creation.

Many users make jokes about Alvor’s battle cry, while some comment on Skyrim’s soothing background music. Other comments first state that this is not Alvor’s child as he has a daughter named Dorthe. Luthwaller mentions that the child from the video is called Frodnar, the son of Hod and Gerdur. Many users share stories featuring similar NPC interactions, with erbesv0 claiming that they saw guards killing Carolotta Valentias’ daughter.

MartyAndRick states that children are straight-up invincible, and they speculate that Acanthisitta used mods. However, Handle-Exact has a possible explanation for this event, as they think that Frodnar saw the player commit a crime and became hostile, which resulted in Alvor attacking the child. Bramblebelle also believes that the poster killed a chicken in Riverwood, making everyone in the town aggressive towards the player.
