Dagoth Ur is the primary antagonist of the 2002 RPG The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, known for his distinctive golden mask and cryptic, philosophical dialogue. While long a staple of the Elder Scrolls community, the character saw a massive resurgence in popularity in early 2023 due to AI voice synthesis technology. Creators began using his deep, resonant voice to have him discuss modern topics, debate video games, or engage in trash talk with other characters like Vivec. The Dagoth Ur meme template typically captures his regal yet menacing presence, often accompanied by his most famous line, 'What a grand and intoxicating innocence,' to mock someone’s naivety or lack of knowledge in a specific situation.
