Console kill command does not work?

[Lenny]

I selected the target and typed on console kill nothing happens.

Note that its not a dragon.

Kill command doesn't work on all creatures or NPCs, especially if they are essential. For instance, you can't force-kill Jarls or their stewards and bodyguards. You can't force-kill a lot of NPCs that are essential to a quest, so you can't kill Ulfric Stormcloak or General Tullius until the Civil War quest is done. Custom characters can sometimes not be killed with the kill command either, especially if they have their own quests or specific goals. So, no, the kill command doesn't always work.

They were draugrs though.

In my experience the kill command only works about 60% of the time. And I mean on common dungeon fodder. Frequently, when that happens, they can't be hit by anything. They auto-blink out of the way of arrows and spells, even when fired completely stealthed, Which is why I try the console, because I don't have the patience for that BS, and then the command is ignored as well.
