Love Earthsea.To me though, the best dragons come in two categories:Dragons you can befriend and rideAndDragons so massive you cannot stand on the ground swinging a sword at them, you have to strategize, and take big risks, and take them down by knowing their weakness and exploiting it, and you probably need to work just as hard to mitigate the harm they do as well because you can’t just contain them because they’re bigger than a small castle.Now when I say dragons as kaiju, one thing I don’t mean is the terrasque. I mean monsters as big as Godzilla but they’re still dragons, they’re smart and magical and maybe even divine or fey or some other sort of “from elsewhere” type being. The evil ones are evil in a way humans can’t be, because they’re ancient and beyond mortal understanding. When they’re Good they are on the level of Aslan or another benevolent god. When they are tied to nature they are super natural in the sense of being the most natural and understand nature with a depth that mortals simply cannot reckon with.D&D dragons To me are vastly too regular to be the second type and much too powerful and arrogant to be the first, so I rarely use them as written.</blockquote>
