I wouldn’t say that I’m tender but otherwise it’s fitting 😄

>start evolutionary journey in The Ocean

>grow legs and learn to breathe air, leave The Ocean

>say nvm, go back to The Ocean, sometimes keep the hips? and they just. float there.

>continue needing to breathe air, which is in short supply in The Ocean, Where You Live, so you evolve to hold your breath really long, but you still have to come up for air

- Water supports body weight, whereas on land, you gotta support yourself because gravity is determined to pull you down. The blue whale is larger than any dinosaur that has ever lived, and dinosaurs are generally considered the land champions of size. 

- Air is empty. You can eat dust mites if you filter feed, but again, not efficient. If you want food, you need to go and get it yourself, which requires a lot of energy because you have to find the foot, and then you have to catch it. But water is filled with patches of food such as krill. All you need to do is have filter adaptations and some way to generate bulk flow, and voilà! 500,000 calories in one mouthful!

- There are tons of predators on land and water. But once you get big enough in the water, very few things will mess with you, especially if you are a 25-m long whale. Whereas if you’re on the land, meet pack hunting from a great variety of animals! It’s harder to grow to a larger size on land, due to the food problems mentioned above, so you (the hypothetical animal) must somehow avoid being eaten by these pack hunters either by grouping up with other animals or being faster/stronger/wiser.

- It’s expensive to grow legs: you need controlled cell death to shape the toes, you need neural crest cells to migrate to the correct region to form bones, you’ve got somites that will form the peripheral nervous system to make the entire structure move, and the entire structure increases drag in water… why bother, if an elongated spinal cord will do just as well? Whales have retained their hindlimb bones and the muscles of land animals despite being no longer living on land, hinting at their shared ancestry, but why? Some species of whales may have muscle attachments of the penis to the pelvic bones, so there is sexual selection that preserves the remnants of the hindlimbs that are fused to pelvic bones. If development goes wrong, hindlimbs can form.

I actually wrote a fanfic about this exact thing.

Basically, since most mortals don’t serve more than one daedra directly, it’s likely normally the case that if you’re their champion, you go to their plane of Oblivion. If you became champion of say, two daedra, if the person isn’t that important or likely to cause a fight between the two, it probably defaults to either a) who they served first or b) who they served longest. 

In the case of hte Dragonborn, we have a very interesting mortal that many daedra would like the bragging rights to. If the DB is a Nightingale, a Werewolf, and has completed the Dragonborn DLC, then Nocturnal, Hircine and Mora have the highest claim in my opinion because the DB is more than just a champion. They’ve sold their soul to each of them, more or less (if this takes place after Dawnguard and the DB is a vampire, replace Hircine with Molag Bal).

Now there isn’t an wasy way for this to be settled. I personally believe that Mora would likely get the DB, should their soul be sent to Oblivion, simply because he’d put up the biggest fight for it or steal their soul before anyone else got the chance. Nocturnal is a real contender though because she’s smart and tricky. Hircine I believe is least likely to succeed. I just feel like the other two have more tricks up their sleeve. 

Still, outside of these three, others will probably want to stake their claim as well, and from there it comes down to the personality of the individual daedra. Sheogorath, Sanguine, Clavicus Vile and a few others seem like they don’t really intend to claim the DB. It’s much more like they’ve gifted a mortal with their artifact for one reason or another, but they don’t outright call them Champion or anything of the sort. So when it comes to making claims, they likely aren’t invested in actually trying to take the DB.
