If I need a mythical creature to beat a traditional fire breathing dragon wihout magic what's the best choice?

A lightning breathing dragon

Courage.

A larger dragon.

A kraken

So, only another dragon?

A fairy

Stone Giant or whatever they had in Scandinavia

Dragons are usually the strongest mythical animal in any setting they exist barring unique ancient evils and God's. Kinda limits the animals that can take one on.

Giants are the standard enemies of dragons. They don't even have to be the super huge kind of giant if they work as teams with weapons, but the really large giants are the ones that tend to be used for the giants vs dragons trope.

>Hydra
>Giant
>Golem
>Kraken
>Any high tier dire animal
Obviously these depend on the setting but these choices tend to be on par with dragons most of the time

Some Outsiders might beat a dragon with martial skills alone.

Giant crab.

Biblical behemoths or leviathans.

Just have a really fucking big hippo or dinosaur or whatever.

Something like a Rock Giant/Scandinavian Troll would be your best bet. If it's of a relative size, the dragon would be hard pressed to damage it, though how the giant would stop it from running away is the question you'd have to deal with.

Otherwise
and try not to make Bane jokes.

Anything incorporeal or regenerative, maybe an ex-dragon hunter revenant.

This. Dragon fucks up once and gets low enough to snag, it's gg.

>Hydra Venom + Arrows

What is needed is two creatures: A charismatic priest and a Scandinavian troll. The priest converts the dragon to Christianity and the troll can now smell it everywhere.

A man with a spear and stealth skills

Several Catholic Saints will get the job done easily.

Classical heroes like Hercules, Samson, or Achilles.

Gorgon/Medusa.

Titans.

A guy with an antique black arrow.

Nazgul on a fell beast.

Enough giant lotr eagles.

Man

Interesting start

A basilisk

a giant serpent/sea serpent/ leviathan could get the job done in an ambush

theoretically a hydra but >fire
sphinx maybe?
big enough demon?
giant with bow/javelin?

underrated

Depends on the system but if D&D a Behir is a good choice.

The power of friendship.

What counts as magic in this case?

How does that even work outside of pokemon?

Fairies are dragon parasitoids. They find a sleeping dragon and lay eggs inside it, and the larvae will slowly eat the dragon alive before exploding out of it in a shower of gore and glitter.

A gorgon

Phoenix. Can't hurt it with fire and between talons and a wicked beak it can put up a nice fight.

If they both can't use fire then it comes to pysical skill, the dragon would wreck the phoenix

A dragon that's just brute force
No magic nonsense
His tactics involved punching the shit out of pussy ass wizard drags
The chadragon

The phoenix is the Mythological equivalent of That Kid on freeform RP forums that claims it was a hologram.
The dragon would eventually just die of exasperation or boredom.

What about fire breathing giants

...

Ygramul, the many.

tarrasque.

an unicorn
or a half narvhal half krakem

St. George.

Angel/demon. Kraken. Titan/storm giant.
