Hello guys ! This is a
[size=7][b]WORK IN PROGRESS POST ! [/b][/size]
I'm Rauxel from the [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/1209023]Statistics for Dragonkind post[/url] and, as was suggested, I'll be using the Great [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/frd/1299062]Dragon Census[/url] database to provide you with visuals about dragon size, wingspan and weight !
This post will stay WIP for a long time, because I have IRL work to do. But I will fill it, I promise. Breed by breed, post by post.
[size=5][b]How to use[/b][/size] :
It is much the same as the old Statistic for Dragonkind post, except that I had more measures to work from !
You can directly compare the Length, Wingspan and Weight of your dragon to the charts down there. That will tell you wether, compared to a sample of dragons of the same species, they are standard, small, big, or extremes.
New to the lot, the ratios. To use them, you apply the ratio (divide the Wingspan by the Length to obtain your Wingspan/Length ratio) and directly compare it to the chart. This will tell you wether your dragon is proportionate or not.
There are also measures separed between males and females, for those of you who want to be very specific, since some species show a sexual dimorphism !

Faes are the smallest and lightest dragons known to this day, and proportionnally have the biggest wings compared to their body. Females are mostly bigger than males, but they have smaller wings in proportion to their body size. Males are small with wings up to twice the size of their body. Females are also heavier than male. If you take one male and one female of the same size, the female will usually be heavier.

Guardians are among the biggest species in the known dragon world. Their wingspan and body size is pretty proportionate, and they are the heavier dragons. Males are bigger and somewhat heavier than females, but usually have wings slightly smaller compared to their body size.

Mirrors are middle sized dragons, with wings in the same proportions than their body. Males are slightly bigger than female, while females have greatly bigger wingspan. That could indicate that males usually fight with strength while females fight with agility, but this is only a theory. Females are also somewhat heavier than males at the same body size.

Tundras are smallish-medium sized dragons. Their wingspan is pretty proportionate to their bodysize, if not slightly smaller. Males Tundra are bigger than female in all points : wingspan, weight and length. Their wingspan and weight is also higher even if one male and one female of the same size are taken. That and their wider fur coat makes them look widely bigger than females when side to side.
