My take on a Dragon in Glorantha is that _one_ is comparable in size, power, and ability to be diverted from its path, to the Earthquake that hit Tokyo in 1922. A small one would be like a Pika-don or Tsunami. A large one like a meme. Not so much a creature as a Catalcysm, a seismic event, something that changes the world.
