TL:DR version. A brewable item (long duration, 15-24hrs) that would change your dragon’s measurements to a random amount within their breed range, as based on averages gained from the Dragon Census or whatever presets the admins have. Dragons could get bigger from an Eat Me item or smaller from a Drink Me item but only within the range of their breed.
Is your custom progen supposed to be this great big, powerful fighting guardian? But actually measures 10m long with a 11m wingspan and weighs a paltry 6kg? If you’ve ever wanted to change that, this is the suggestion for you!
Sure, we’ve all worked around funny measurements on our dragons by just ignoring them, or incorporating what we can. But sometimes you want your dragon to be as big as you’ve described or you want to chart out your dragons on a graph and your leaders really come up short.
On the whole, it seems that measurements for our dragons are several things: random, prone to borking, not inheritable, have no impact whatsoever on our dragons or game play in any capacity.
So, let’s consider them a cosmetic feature like accents and colors and see if we can reroll out stats a bit. :D
Using guardians again, as an example , these are their general averages:
Since they do nothing (add no power, no resilience and are basically there for the fun of it) I’d like to reroll the stats on a couple of my dragons, so they’ll fit their personalities a little better (my mirror with in-lore of a Napoleonic complex can actually be as tiny as she needs to be to have it for the humor value).
What I do want to stress is that the ranges can only be rerolled for whatever is supposed to be the max/min size for that breed. The largest fae records on the chart only reaches 1.66m length with a 1.86m wingspan. The smallest ridgeback measurements is 12.61m length and 10.93m. Those look like hard breed numbers, so there’s no way to make a fae-sized ridgeback or a ridgeback-sized fae nor is this a suggestion to do so.
Additionally, there might be some room for including a Wingspan augment potion. But that’s because I have a personal peeve of the poor relationship between wingspan and length of imperials, there is so much hangbutt with them. But hopefully, one could just keep using potions until they got the ratio they wanted.
To address the one concern I’ve been able to think of:
“If the reroll is based on the current size, what would stop someone from just rolling and walking their dragon up or down?”
Don’t base the rerolls on the dragon’s own size. Do base it on the average for their breed. Using the same information as in the census*, these are the average measurements for the breeds (excluding Bogsneaks& Nocturnes for lack of data on these charts).

You can try to make your guardian heavier than the 11,000.22kg that he is, but your reroll is going to be based against the 9670.93 average. You might get 12kg or you might get 10kg, it’s all bigger than the average, but it’s either exactly what you want, or smaller than where you started, but its all based around the average and can’t go any higher than the ceiling of 13648.77kg (or whatever the admins have already determined the max range is).
This goes the same way for reducing your guardian’s weight. If the average for a perfect slim, trim, lean and mean guardian is 9670.93kg, and reducing him would either send him to 8000kg or 9000kg, but he could never be smaller than the tiniest guardian at 5693.08 (or again, whatever the determined min range is).
Recipe suggestion (as a gauge for complexity/time required to prefab ingredients, not to be taken as a hard list or anything):
+ / + + + + Treasure = Size Potion
(But honestly, anything to use up more Red/Orange/Purple mats would be nice. And this has repeat value. A yo-yoing Tundra alchemist who keeps shrinking and growing himself because he forgot what his last potion batch was just sounds like a fun RP character.)
