I use the MM for such rulings, because a) its core rule and DotF is supplement, b) a Paladin for instance would only be able to fly on his Mount if it was at least 3rd advancement level so it's strenght increased enough to extend the light load range far enough to carry the Paladin with all his equipment.Given that, an adult red dragon with a strenght score of 33 could carry up to 6400 pounds while flying (STR 33 maximum medium load is 1600, x4 for being huge). You could even take that times 1.5 if you apply the carrying bonus for having 4 legs but thats arguable if its 2 legs and 2 "arms" or 4 legs.. .. whatever 6400 pounds is enough to carry away a human.. or 2 or 3 or... many.... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /></blockquote>
