NotSoDifferent:
**He and Sheogorath are both gods of madness, just in [[{{Cloudcukoolander}} different]] [[SuperOCD ways]].
**He's actually surpsingly similar to "Mehrunes Dagon" of all Daedra: while Dagon is a god of chaos and destruction while Jyggalag embodies absolute order, they've both dedicated themselves to an ImpossibleTask and have paradoxical motives for doing so (Dagon wants to permanently reduce all of reality to a state of nothingness despite embodying ambition and change while Jyggalag desires to bring order to Oblivion despite being a Daedra, who are chaotic by nature).



* MadGod: It is suggested by Sotha Sil's priests that Jyggalag is a deity of insanity like Sheogorath, but unlike the chaotic mania and melancholy depression that Sheogorath represents, Jyggalag is the god of [[SuperOCD extreme order and obsessive organization]]. Further, Sotha Sil's priests present a theory is that Jyggalag knew that he was a Daedra and that he was a "flaw" in the Aubris, which drove him to madness.* OrderVersusChaos: He is the order to Sheogorath's chaos.

** His motives (If him being a discarded draft of creation is the truth) are also not quite incomprehensible if some of the “Obscure Texts” are to be believed. Assuming that “draft of the universe” origin is true, he’s essentially getting information so he can know every difference between himself and creation as it exists. He’s either trying to figure out why his creators discarded him, or how to finish the process since they won’t. Either is understandable from a human perspective.

* WarriorHeaven: The "Ashen Forge" within the Ashpit is this for loyal Orcs. Entering it brings immortality, abundant food and drink, and of course, many great battles. It is said that every Orc is a chief, every chief has a thousand wives, and every wife has a thousand slaves to cater to their every need. [[note]]This is very likely hyperbole, such as when real life Christians say that Heaven is "paved with gold," as in-game there does not appear to ''be'' a thousand Orc women for every Orc man, and because it's probably worth asking what race all those slaves are...[[/note]]
