The Dreaming Dragon

[Zohar_Lahar]

So what is that petrified dragon's story? Could it have been the remains of Ratatoskr?

[Fenral]

It could be Ratatoskr, but considering the proximity to Ishgard I think it's more likely to be another high-ranking lesser dragon like Vishap. Still not really sure why he(?) was so much larger than even the First Brood dragons, but I guess size really isn't all that matters.

The answer to that lies in the Blue Dragon card. The card explains that dragons go through various individual mutations throughout their life, making many of them unique. This mutation can take many forms, such as Vishap's size.

In a world where a Lalafell melee pulls the same numbers as a Roegadyn one (as well as carrying corpses and smashing rocks in MSQ).. i think size really doesn't matter.

The reincarnation of Midgarsomr is quite small right now, but I think he's still more powerful than all or most of the others dragons. Well, I don't think we'll see him fight anyone soon, but i guess he is still stronger than reincarnated Niddhog for example.

Nope, sightseeing log implies that she was killed in Tharl Oom Khash, which was where she and her brood used to live.

Even if she was killed there, where did they put the body?

Hard to guess. If she is similar to her siblings she wouldn't be huge in size. Perhaps she was taken to Mourn. That seems to be where Dragons go to die. I guess the remains end up in the lava eventually since we don't see many skeletons around in that cave.

From memory after doing some of the many sidequest in that area. It's said that the Dreaming Dragon was sealed by a group of dragon hunters/Ishgardians. It was lured in that area, the mages bound it there and from then on ashes rained on it and created that thing we see now

Yeah, they said it was put to sleep with magic, then the ashes from its rampage covered it, then ice froze over that, but legend holds that it is still alive within that ice, but sleeping.

[Dalvy]

I was under the impression it was dead, because of a fate saying that monsters were attracted to the smell of rot from melting ice
