One of the Ra'zac notes that Eragon has grown strong since he first encountered them: Saphira calls Eragon wise after training with Oromis for a short while: The memories of our race, which were given form and substance by the elves' magic, anointed you with what skill we dragons posses, for you are our best hope to avoid extinction. "You are intelligent and persistent, and you have the potential to be a great Rider." Source: EldestĮragon is the best hope for the dragon race to survive: Oromis calls Eragon intelligent and persistent, with the potential to be a great Rider: Only the bravest dwarves dare hunt Nagran, and it is only served to those who have great valor."

He may have been rude, but the fact that he spoke to you makes you special."

Source: Eragon He unstrung the bow and handed it and the quiver to Brom, who said, "It takes a strong arm to pull that." For a moment, he missed them as a record of his life, but his regret was short-lived as he realized that the damage from every injury he had every suffered, no matter how small, had been repaired. The blotchy scars on the insides of his thighs, remnants from his first flight with Saphira, had also disappeared. Eragon traced a line upon his wrist where he had cut himself while sharpening Garrow's scythe. Not only was the savage blight he had elected to keep gone, but every other scar and blemish had vanished from his body, leaving him as unmarked as a newborn babe. He was fairer than any human and more rugged than any elf. His jaw was stronger, his brow thicker, his face broader. Eragon had never before applied the term to a man, least of all himself, but the only word that described him now was beautiful.
His face was now as smooth and angled as an elf's, with ears tapered like theirs and eyes slanted like theirs, and his skin was as pale as alabaster and seemed to emit a faint glow, as if with the sheen of magic. It was as if the numerous physical changes that, over time, alter the appearance of a human Rider-and which Eragon had already begun to experience since bonding with Saphira-had been completed while he was unconscious. His cheekbones were more prominent, and the line of his jaw was sharper. Any baby fat was gone now, stripped away by traveling, sparring, and training. His face had changed since he had run out of Carvahall just a short while ago. Something about his reflection made him stop and look closer. Dark eyebrows rested above his intense brown eyes. At the end of the series, Eragon is roughly 18 years old and looks like a hybrid version of a human and an elf.Įragon was fifteen, less than a year from manhood.
Since there's no official picture for him (and because the movie made him look entirely different), so here's a description from the books. So here you go, respect for Eragon Shadeslayer, son of the late Dragon Rider Brom, and the first in a new era of Dragon Riders. So I've taken the liberty to make this respect thread for him in order to sort of "get his name out there" and help him become more known, as well as help others gauge him and where he stands against other anime and comic characters. Eragon Bromsson Respect Thread Įragon is one of my favorite characters in any book I've read, and I'm surprised he's not used very often in battles on here.
