This is a question I've debated with myself many times in terms of my setting's dragons. I see merits to both potential approaches to dragonkind, but me being me, I personally prefer the diversity route. What do you guys think?

I like the idea that dragons come in all shapes and sizes, that no two are alike. That said, it depends on if your setting/story demands dragons being extremely strong for the purpose of difficulty. There's actually a lot more difficult to kill creatures in mythology. Dragon slayers are a thing, after all. I can't think of any creature expressly at the moment, but I'm pretty sure there's some that are impossible to kill and can only be banished or restrained or killed a certain way.

I like some variety of form in a dragon for sure but I still prefer an average dragon to be upper mid tier in terms of strength and capability.

I agree with chaoticmythboy here - Large dragons should be pretty formidable, but there should be loads of different types, with some being quite small and weak while some are almost indomitable. Obviously the larger ones are much rarer in my urban fantasy world. The human history of L&O is exactly like the history in the real world, but with all the folk-tales and myths over the years being objectively true. Thus, large and powerful dragons in Europe were basically wiped out in the Middle Ages, and now they're only found in very isolated populations in secluded areas. There are some stories of ferocious dragons engaging with the military in the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan in L&O.
