Q&A

What impact would a dragon the size of Asia have on the environment?

+0
−0

Without going into unnecessary detail, one of the races of my world believe that the land itself is a dead god, and that by resurrecting it, it will ascend to the cosmos and carry the faithful upon its back. The form they choose to represent this great god is born out of their own image, and represented by a great winged dragon.

So this eschatological event is of course purely religious fiction, but let's say it isn't. Let's say that this would absolutely happen, and that a massive, continent-sized dragon (let's say for now the size of Asia) that could propel itself through flight wasn't out of the question. So it would be as if all of Asia was suddenly ripped up from the Earth and flung into space. What would be the environmental effects of such a creature's flight?
