Dragons are to the Material Plane as Celestials are to the Upper Planes, Modrons are to Mechanus, Fiends are to the Lower Planes, and so on. First, let's do Dragons.Īccording to the updated draconic lore about the First World from Fizban's Treasury of Dragons, Dragons helped create the Material Plane, and are inherent creatures to the world. Let's start out by analyzing the natures of these types of monsters to see if there's any innate reason why they would hate each other. It's really hard to get cooler than a Giant wrestling with a Dragon, or a Dragon's wing being cut by a Giant's Sword while it breaths down fire on the Giant.) (Also, if you want to know why people have Dragons and Giants fight in their fiction in the real world, it's almost definitely because it's just plain awesome. This will be using some of the new/updated lore from Fizban's Treasury of Dragons and also some speculative information and homebrew lore to tie it all together.

Basically, all you need to know for the basis of this post is that Dragons versus Giants is a thing, and this post is to explain why Dragons and Giants hate each other so much in the worlds/multiverse of D&D. Depending on the setting, it can range from deep rivalries to outright war between the two, with the most notable Dragon-Giant War probably being the Thousand Year War from the Forgotten Realms. Okay, as some of you may be aware, in D&D, there's been quite a long history of Dragons and Giants hating each other.
