I feel like this raises a lot of questions about their reproductive cycles.

It's true OP, every Dragon is exactly the same size: 3.5 inches x 2 inches

It's just that Magic is very small so every race of people to encounter one is actually really really tiny

Where are all these dragons getting crowns from?

>>43579200
But...

>>43579590
From eating kings.

Relativity is a lie, everything is measured by the length of the setting's dragons, from nose to tail. Everything else is just larger or smaller to accommodate what appears to be differently sized dragons. In settings where dragons appear to be more than one size, they are actually bending space around them to appear larger or smaller.

This may also be how dragons breathe fire and fly, more research needs to be done.

>>43579611

Who would even be a king if these fuckers apparently have it so easy they've got one for each head?

Could I deter a dragon by leaving a crown outside my window at night or something?

>>43579709
Maybe it'd deter them, but it'd be a better idea to put decoy crowns on scare crows, livestock, and prisoners. Then the dragon may be fooled into thinking it slayed a king.

Why the fuck does this thread have so many replies?

>>43579779

>>43579829
No, I think that's badwrongfun. apparently it's not good gaming food?

>>43578770
They're different because people are different and created different settings with different sized dragons.

>>43579829
Not just Taiwanese. Fun si is a type of rice vermicelli that is often used as Chinese foodstuff in traditional hotpot style cooking. It represents longevity of life and is often included in meals at New Years.

>>43579856
Maybe that's why dragons are so angry and kidnap princesses and such all the time. They're trying to force the kings into getting the crowns right.

All dragons are 4.13 inches in height, 6.12 inches from snout to tail, and have a wingspan of 10.25 inches from wingtip to wingtip.
Dragons are the standard metric for which the rest of the dimension they reside in is measured, the universe becoming bigger or smaller to fit. (Ie. If a dragon is the size of a house exactly in a given world, the house is 10.25x6.12x4.13)

>>43580211

Every setting means it includes real life. There's been one documented dragon attack in real life, see photograph attached. This was recorded by a Christian, so it has to be true because Jesus never lies and Christians are, like, fragments of Jesus.

Using MSpaint and basic trigonometry gives that the dragon in this photo is 746.069 pixels long. Given that everyone in the past was a manlet and that St George clearly has tiny little baby girl feet I'm assuming he has size five feet. People with size five feet ride using 4.5" wide stirrups, maybe 4.75" with boots. The stirrups are 15.13 pixels wide, but with some degree of parallax. Assuming the foot is turned 60 degrees away, the stirrup is actually 30.26 pixels wide.

Combining all of this information and using six hundred cycles of machine learning to compute something, gives that the dragon slain by St George was 117.09 inches, or 9.758 feet, long. Thus, unless you're a dirty heretic who doubts the truth of the Lord, all dragons in every setting are 9' 9" long when fully extended.

Except that is a Victorian perpetrated myth, and both archaeological and material records have your average Western European man of lower class around 5'10".

And you also have to take into account that scale and depth theory was still relatively new in the 16thC, and later artists (such as Raphael) have to interpret their scale around it.

>>43578770
Exactly 720 inches in every world.

But remember the length of an inch varies from world to world. Even if the total remains the same.

We're talking modern measurements of surviving skeletons. City dwellers tend to be shorter than rural folk, and access to better food (farmers and monied people) tend to be taller than those with poor dietary options.

>>43581064
Art is a luxury, and getting multiple artists in one place to do nothing but work on art and study theory is not going to help someone survive. Once the food production surplus of the Renaissance happens, people are able to focus and patronize higher pursuits.

Read even just a bit of art history, and you will be frankly shocked how fast and how far it developed in a few short years.

Technically, we're both right. It is ONE artist, using an interpretation of a famous battle from the Romance of Alexander to represent an important event in his life time.

Its the same reason that Alexander is wearing early 15thC armour, and bearing the arms of a Duke from the period. Its why there are biblical images that us Vlad Tepes as Lucifer.

Because it comes from Worst China. Think about it. Would you rather serve a great leader from Best Korea or Worst Korea? Now think about if you want Best China food or Worst China food.

A dragon's true form is always exactly one cubic inch and resides primarily in the 5th dimensional plane.

Over time dragons are able to project ever-stronger manifestations of themselves to the 3rd dimension in order to feed, which may create an impression that they are growing in size, but this is never truly the case. This manifestation is vulnerable to mortal devices and thus dragons are largely considered fragile creatures of their 5th dimension.

>>43597812
Then dragons are gripped by existential dread, knowing that every moment they live they become gradually smaller and more insignificant in a cold, uncaring, vast universe.

This is why dragons hoard so much gold and treasure. Only the filthy lucre can distract them from the terror that eternally grips their shrinking hearts.

Easily calculated with the dragon arc length integral. The length of your dragon L is equal to L = ∫ ds where ds is an infinitesimal slice of dragon length equal to the square root of 1 + the square of derivative of your dragon function, or √(1 + [y']2) dx.
