I was actually thinking along the lines of 100ks in effective HP myself


100k is way over the top. If we're fighting a massive creature that is capable of one-or-two-hitting well-developed characters, it would only be fair if its HP didn't require hours of fighting to take down. Personally I'd say max 10k.

As for the dragon itself, yes. Very much yes.

I don't want dragons either. Something that fills a similar niche to dragons sure maybe. But not dragons specifically.

Haven has its own style, lets make our own giant terrible monsters.

I wouldn't mind corpses somehow becoming having supernatural/spiritual effects on the area. Let our monsters beget monsters.

Killing dragon = trapping it to stockpiles with alts and then shooting 2000 arrows with 2 marksmanship alt
It just doesnt work..

Sounds about right!

Even more hilarious if they actually actively seek out their murderers, keep them on their toes and all.
