I am curious if it has been mentioned just how much dragons eat?
Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Well, Hestaby is probably on a Street or Squatter Lifestyle...  So, whatever has been thrown out behind the Big Rhino?

I think there's an actual weight to foodweight ratio, and it depends on their physical activity, and what special vitamins and minerals they need that their body doesn't synthesize.

At a really long shot guess I'd say 2-3% of their body weight.

Which brings to mind something I really want to use in a game.

"And if that doesn't work?"
"Well, I, for one, will contact Herr Lofwyr and inquire as to how he prefers his elf. Just to save him the trouble."
"If you are expecting a rousing speech, or a cunning plan that will get us out of this, I will have to disappoint you. I don't have any. We either do this, or we die. And the world dies with us."
"I paid quite a lot to get all of you here. I expect you to give me my money's worth. Shogun out."

How much do they eat? That depends... how big is your party?

According to wikipedia the sperm whale is approximately the same size as a standard western dragon. It is a prodigious eater and will eat somewhere around 3% of its body weight a day, approximately 12,000 kilos. If dragons have some other (i.e. magic) way of gaining sustenance this number may be much smaller, even down to 1% or so of their weight.

How much DO dragons weigh anyway? Given how they're magical they might weigh far less than that sperm whale.
How am I not part of the forum?? O_O I am both active and angry!

Personally, I'd say between 26,000 to 31,000 kg for a standard western dragon.

How about this, you go ask Hestaby her weight, and I'll stand on the other side of the planet.  ;D
