Dragons: What to Know Part II
Christina Weigand
Like people, dragons come in all different sizes, shapes and
colors. In a previous post I talked about their colors and the breath weapons
that accompany those colors. That article can be seen here: Dragons1 Today I want to take a look at size.
In actuality their color and size are related although I
suspect that there is always one that doesn't fit the set mold.
The black dragon usually weighs in at a cool 160,000 pounds
with a forty foot wingspan and a height of sixteen feet. The blue dragon is the
same in all but the wingspan. Hers is a whopping eighty feet.
A green dragon comes in a little shorter at ten feet, but
still has the weight and wingspan of the blue.
I'm thinking this next dragon, the red dragon, is by far the largest and most
fearsome of all the dragons. He will measure in a twenty two feet tall and
weigh 1,280,000 pounds. And his wingspan is nothing to sneeze at, measuring 150
feet.
With the white dragon we are back to a more normal size.
They are generally sixteen feet tall and weigh 160,000 pounds. There wingspan
has been measured at seventy two feet.
A brass dragon is similar measuring sixteen feet tall,
160,000 pounds and a wingspan of sixty feet.
The bronze dragon joins the green dragon in height and
weight and wingspan. The copper dragon checks in at sixteen feet tall, weighing
160,000 pounds and an eighty foot wingspan.
The gold dragon. Here take note that I misspoke when talking
about the red dragon. The gold dragon matches the height and weight of the red
dragon. Her wingspan is a bit smaller at 135 feet. She also tends fight for
good instead of the evil the red dragon is famous for.
And finally the silver dragon. He falls into the large
category of the red and gold dragon with a wingspan of 150 feet, but the same
weight and height.
Needless to say I wouldn't want to meet these dragons in a
dark alley, not that they would fit unless it was a big alley.
Like the colors and size their personalities and habitat are
as varied as humans. But,I will leave personality and habitats for another
post. I will give you a hint though they are not what you expect. So until
tomorrow, bensvelk thurkear (good night in dragon).
