Which dragon is the largest we've seen so far, be it pure blood Eleint or soletaken Eleint? I think its Korabas and T'iam.
BTW what are the dimensions of some of the dragons like wingspawn, total length or head size? I know that Silannah is larger than the soletaken Andii and Rake is said to dwarf even Silannah. Then we hear Korabas is even more massive.

I would just like a sense of scale as I dont think it was ever mentioned in any of the books.

Silanahs eye is suposed to be as big as Raests head. Thats all I know.

Korabas or Tiam are the largest but their elemental dragons of a different scale.

Of the 'normal' i.e. not founding dragons, Olar Ethil is an undead twin to Tiam, Silchas is Second probably.

Do you know there sizes in meters? I want to get a sense of scale compared to humans.

Well, skulls (when they appear) are said to be longer than a man is tall. And in DoD, some characters (including KCCM) walk through a dragon skeleton. I personally pictured it as walking through the rib cage unhindered, so in other words I think they are the size, if not the mass or shape of course, of a blue whale.

this is a good analogy i'd say, as is the blue whale comparison.

thing is, Tiam (tCG spoiler)

Spoiler

is a conglomeration of hundreds, or even thousands of dragons this size, making her absolutely massive, which is the impression i get from the barrow scene. thus, korabas and olar ethil must also be on the 'horizon-spanning' side of large, putting them many orders of size above even silchas ruin and dragons like ampelas and kalse. also, blue whales.

I think as far as Olar Ethil we can put her in the huge dragon category a la Rake, Osserc and Silchas. But I'm hesitant to still give credence to her MoI quote to Silverfox after the events of tCG.

good point. and as we later learn, olar ethil is prone to grandiose claims.

Largest single dragon... Korabas. T'iam would be the largest overall, due to being basically all the dragons who are not either Korabas, or soletaken, put together.

Thats indeed what I thought of as well. In TCG Korabas takes on dozens upon dozens of dragons if not hundreds. So how much bigger is Korabas than say soletaken Rake?

[Kanese S's]

I think she's probably gigantic. Probably her head is as big as a regular dragon, or almost as big.
