As their names suggest, Draugr Overlords are a cut above the rank-and-file Draugr and Restless Draugr which guard the Nord barrows dotted throughout the province of Skyrim.
Draugr Overlords guard the greatest treasures found in the deepest sections of the barrows, and they are armed with ancient Nord weapons enchanted with Frost magic; these can be looted off the Overlords upon their defeat. The Overlords are also capable of using minor Thu'um, or Dragon Shouts against the player, usually in an attempt to unbalance them.
It is worth noting that Dragon Priests can replace Draugr Overlords as barrow guardians.
