Who is the Strongest Enemy in Skyrim?

Most characters and enemies level with you, although only up to a point. Other enemies actually have and maintain their levels regardless of how powerful you are. So with all of these things in mind, who is the strongest you can find in this game? I have compiled 3 different lists to answer this question. The first one is a list of the strongest non uniques non dragon leveled enemies you can find. This list is not literal, as a lot of vampires would be stronger than even the strongest bandits. So i tried to make it so that i could add as many cool different variations of enemies as i could find. Because of this the first list is not authorative at all, but just a list I thought would be fun to create; and is merely a list of honorable mentions. The second list is of the literal strongest enemies you will find in the game, unique or not. And this one is in fact literal. We will talk about difficulty for these enemies, their levels, their hp, their abilities, and everything else that is pertinent to answer the question. The last list is for followers and we will answer which follower is the strongest in the game; and if you were to fight them, which one would pose the greater threat to you. For those of you who don't understand how the leveling system works for enemies, is as follows: Enemies like draugrs for example who level with you will wait until you reach a threshold level. As soon as you reach that level, the game will start throwing newer and stronger versions of draugrs against you. Then as soon as you reach the next threshold, it will do so again. Until you reach the Draugr Death Overlord who is the last. This won't stop the game from sending you lesser draugrs, but merely makes it so that you can encounter stronger ones randomly. Unique enemies that scale to your level on the other hand, usually have a level multiplier that follows your level. So whatever your level is, you would multiply that with an arbitrary number like 1.2 or 1.5 and the result would be the level of the enemy. That number of course changes depending on the enemy. Followers will always be your level, regardless of anything; up until their designated max level. After that, then they stagnate. Sorry about my poor grammar. Me just a gamer. Me don't know much else. Love you all

1. I just started a new game and went from whiterun to halted stream camp. There I found just regular bandits. when I went into the mine I saw a bandit chief, so some places have these enemies defineitely there, not dead or anything. It doesn't matter which level you are, some enemies are there on purpose.
2. I THINK, I'm not sure, but I THINK from having done the Dawnguard campaign before finishing Dragon Rising (and this can be done in vanilla game by simply never going to Riverwood) that when you approach the frozen lake where you should be fighting the twin dragons without finishing Dragon Rising (the quest where you kill the first dragon at the Whiterun Watchtower) then they don't appear. The quest also unlocks the dragon encounters in the game, so if for some reason you want to play Skyrim without dragons, just don't ever go to Riverwood.
3. Drougr Death Overlord? I laugh in his face eve with my lvl 15 Nord two handed build. I kicked his ass with only using 2 Potions of minor healing.
4. "Levalup"
5. i killed a giant at lvl 3... i was not a wood elf for those who think i was
6. Nightmaster Vampire:
   What to do when you encounter one:Hide,and beg that it doesn't find you(How to train your dragon reference.Couldn't resist it😂)
7. I have no dlc and I'm around 90 lvl, and not of my skills are 100 yet. Almost every non flying enemy are killed in seconds by my double summon, so sometimes I can take no damage during whole fight at all, not to count my full daedric armor and few perks to lower magical damage. And main quest is at point after killing 1st dragon. Difficulty level is legendary, ofc.
8. I'd say Riekling Charger is stronger than Werewolf Vargr when it comes to actual combat, despite being lvl 40 to the latter's 42. Charger has twice the HP and the opening charge is really painfull.
9. Man!! I always wondering why are they so harf to defeat!!!
10. Any fight that involves more than one bear.
11. i used mods to get god items. takes 1 hit for everything so far with god weapons but dragons take 2 hits for me.

Yah that's right, go to the place where you find the first elder scroll ( main quest line ) and in the glowy place their is a castle with what looks like a golden lamp above it, he is a huge dremora ( very large character model ) who is in full deadric armour. He fucking pwns me and I'm level 97...
16. can anyone share this fate with me, the most respectable and toughest enemy ever, the first frost troll when you go for the greybeards at level 7-10......
