Dragon size comparisons

[Morrus]

No D&D dragons though.


That one that's bigger than a galaxy -- it would take it millions of years just to move a leg (unless the leg moves faster than the speed of light -- and that's not counting the millions of years it would take the impulse to travel from the brain to the leg to tell it to move; eh, magic!)

And not counting how it doesn't collapse under its own weight into a black hole. Or how you manage a circulatory system of that size...

At that scale Super Shenron could be made of distributed gas particles and be invisible to us.

Anyone else catch the guy breakdancing in the background

That was really well done!

Pfff, they forgot R. Dragon, my favourite dragon ever.

But then, the dragon would be shredded by the rest of the galaxy's gas particles (and stars and stuff) moving through what passes for its "flesh".

Mere viri. Watch out for the immune system reaction. It does take a couple of billion years to kick in, but...

Hm, no. Not analogous - the material of the galaxy is not using the dragon's body to reproduce. It is like standing in a sandstorm, when you yourself are a cloud of sand.

Not an analogy. A joke. Which obviously fell flat.

FWIW Tiamat does get a mention at the end.
