I’m willing to overlook that sexist BS for now. Side note: Do I have a name or nah? It’s short enough that it could’ve fit, too. The headline? “Teen Daughter of Murdered Underground Rap Legend Lawless Just Killed Us Her Damn Self with This New Heat!” They posted a picture from when I was in the Ring.

That would give the dragon around 7-9 foot wings if you give a slinder 2-4 foot body. I think 20 feet tip to tip is a bit smallish to be called a "monster sized" dragon. Rhaegal's head was bigger than a horse so we can assume that Drogon's is much bigger. How big would you estimate Drogon to be in terms of weight and length? However we know that Drogon is definitely bigger than a person, since it carried Dany without much trouble, and tossed a few fighters around in melee easily. ![]() However when I checked Wiki, it said that Pteranodon (the one in Jurassic Park) had a wingspan of twenty five feet, and its estimated weight ranged from 20 plus to around 90 kilograms.
