With most respect of their work, but it is evident that the people at DreamWorks do not actually take measurments of their models, and what is stated in books or whatever is also just guesswork. For example, the Typhoomerang (WS model, which, as I have said before, is the DWA model) with Default size (61.1 m/33.3 m, first image), and with the World of Dragons size (10.6m/15.2 m, second image). Or the same with the Smokebreath. Being so unreliable and unrealistic, they could easily pass as just fan estimates.

That's why I'm so defiant about the values I put on dragons' pages. For almost every one of those dragons there are models available (not posable ones, but like those for the HTTYD 2 dragons, or other model sheets) which makes it possible to take precise measurements. I alway put a lot of work into them to ensure they accurately represent what we see on screen. To be honest, it feels a little bad when they are just discarded simply because they are not from the crew, and are instead replaced with the their shot-in-the-dark guesses.

Yes, the Wikia is supposed to show official info, but as it happens, that official info is misleading and does not represent reality for a single bit. And that is what I'm trying to correct.
