I have agree with chickens being the most dangerous. Obviously not on their own accord, but because of the consequences.

Yet i always have to kill them......

I wouldn't have bothered writing what I did if I hadn't already cleared most of the caves, towers, ruins, ECT

That frost troll was a piece of cake, my level 7 orc with my beserk ability and steel war hammer fixed him good. Those dragon priests on the other hand......

 

[Solitude]

ikr, but after level 60 everything is pretty easy.

Frost troll? I never saw one on the way to High Hrothgar.. I may have passed it, I was just using an Amulet of Talos, and the Shrine Blessing to Whirlwind Sprint my way up :3

Ummm... You don't get whirlwind sprint until after you've already been to High Hrothgar...

If your a redguard, and then use Adrenaline rush+elemental fury and dual wield, nothing can stop you.

 

[butcherpete2277]

I am going to go with some of the ones people seem to have not mentioned yet:
-Wispmother
-Chaurus Reaper (the giant one from the lighthouse basement)
-Malkoran

Yes!!! Even after setting the difficulty on novice it took my lvl 6 warrior 10+ tries to kill that Chaurus!

i remember a year ago (first time i played skyrim) i took on a giant at level 2 lol. Pretty humiliating when just one swing of his club blasted me to the clouds XD

I know the feeling. I ended up doing the same thing.

At a high level, it seems that Forsworn Briarhearts get ridiculously tough to kill. I was level 60 or so and fancied myself invincible when I ran into a group somewhere in the Reach. I dispatched the Forsworn with comical ease.... until the boss room. I entered the Briarheart's lair full of fury and bloodlust, expecting a quick victory, but he calmly looked up from his alchemy table and proceeded to demolish my hapless character, firing two ice spells before killing me with ONE vicious power attack. It took three more attempts before I had the sense to use one of the devastating poisons that I'd collected over the course of my journeys to tilt the odds in my favour. It hasn't been the last time since the Skyrim balancing/levelling system has surprised me in a nasty way.

Elder/Ancient Dragons and Giants, the giants and the mages with friggin' one hit kill strikes can't be compared. Then there's the Deathlord Draugr which is particularly strong, they're normally alongside the Wights which cast that dang frost spells and ice spikes on you.

Frost troll? I never saw one on the way to High Hrothgar.. I may have passed it, I was just using an Amulet of Talos, and the Shrine Blessing to Whirlwind Sprint my way up :3

That's really lucky of you since the 1 Frost Troll event in the crevice seem to always happen.
If you're above level 20 before going in Bleakfalls Barrow, you will run into a troll instead of a Draugr in one part of the cave (big open area with a long drop beside the bridge you cross, pretty well lit).

Krosis at level 6.

I have the mask, but I don't recall where I got it. Which enemy is he again? And where is he at?

For my answer, I cannot give a specific enemy. One thing I like about this game is the randomness that occurs, including how tough your foes are. I had a hard time with the giants at the beginning, like many here. But now I find that any random enemy can one hit me if I'm not careful. I died multiple times on some high level bandit a while back. Couldn't get around her, and couldn't beat her without dying. I finally was able to with a stroke of luck. Looked at her inventory, and nothing stood out that would explain the difficulty I had. Puzzling it was.
