This image took me most of the day (most of it having to wait for the computer to finish whirring and give me the pointer back). It is a large image but it is far smaller than it was when I was pasting the dragons in. If anyone wants the original PSP image with all 46 layers (44 dragons, background, numbers) just drop be a line and I'll send you the small 4MB one. My computer choked on editing the 40MB one so it has no numbers and the big dragons are all stacked up in a pile to the left.

Since only a few dragons have sizes mentioned, I went off those measurements: 120 feet for Regal Copper length and Longwing wingspan and 50 feet for a Yellow Reaper. Several other dragons are described as similar in size to the Yellow Reaper. The rest are just guesses based on the Heavy, Middle and Light weight classings (which aren't really described much). It is kinda a shock to see the great difference in the sizes (I occasionally lost the smaller dragons because I was zoomed out too much). Makes it easier to see some of the smaller dragons sleeping on Temeraire like they did in BPW. --Mooir 16:25, 5 August 2007 (PDT)

Just wanted to say this is AWESOME. :)

Indeed! It's very interesting to look at (even if it's not exact). The little ones really are little compared to the big ones, eh? I think I understand why Granby was so excited to get a Kazilik better now that I see how big they are in comparison to the Flamme-de-Gloire. Thanks for doing all this work, Mooir.
