D&D 5E What should a primordial be capable of? (spoilers for SKT)

There were several primordials stated in 4e. However, it is not true that they had to gang up to defeat them one at a time. In 4e, both Bane and Io are noted to have slain a primordial one on one. However, it seems that the common approach was to gang up. For example, Maul-Tar was imprisoned by the combined might or Moradin, Bahamut, and Pelor I believe.

Some primordials are more powerful than others, as are some deities.

Some were defeated in single combat because the deity could, some were ganged up upon because the deities could (but not needed), some were ganged up upon because the deities had to (and no deity could have taken it 1:1 at that time)

Long story short: The stats for Meg are laughably weak for how she's described in the Drizzt novels. However she should still be some of the weaker primordials as far as immortal cosmic entities go.

she should have stats similiar to Tiamat, that means CR 25-30

CR23, according to Appendix C. Her legendary actions are nasty but I've seen level 9 parties take down stronger, and her Create Fire Elemental ability weakens her so much she'll only be able to use it a couple of times at most.

I agree with you there.
