Better than a Komodo Dragon fettered to a huge crossbow bolt. For both dragons... Yeah, but then you have to explain Lake Erebor to the dwarves.

And hey, we can probably use this technology for a pit/trap, I mean just a single hypo injected deeply into a very heavy, tripping body right on top if it? Are we finished or are we done? Where's my bounty money? This. You can probably expose the beast to the poison without getting close...and who the hell wants to get close to the illustration you posted! Oh, I suppose giving data on the monsters speed would help decide in how close to get.

My weapon would be a lot better then most conventional weaponry, It's a specialty weapon for a special situation. I also think it can be implemented to be mounted to a large crossbow/ballista bolt. It should hit with more then enough force to perform the "injection". I already have several kingdoms sending me pigeons with contracts for my design. Only 6 easy payments of your 6th born daughter for 6 months. See Seventh Voyage of Sinbad for crossbow/ballista usage against monster lizard.

You should use these spears like a pop bottle rocket, but in a 120mm mortar. You might not be able to hit a dragon, but think of the spectacle?

Why penetrate the hide when you can contain it and then force acid, poison or an explosive down it's throat. BTW are you sure it isn't Worsel the Valentian

Depending on how big and intelligent it is, it could be trapped with ropes around it's neck to hold it immobile. Then forcing the poison down it's throat or feed it to the beast in glass jars wrapped with meat.

I never got to respond to this one!
Hmm 🤔
Against thick hide, is there even a hand held weapon to do the trick? I feel like at this point, poison, chemicals, explosives (for shock wave), and maybe uh...
What else can you do? Get a special weapon?
Other than that, be a really skilled archer or gunman, and aim for the eyes

That would be wicked. Imagine that on your wall, an anti dragon weapon

why not make a simple hollow tubular spear head with a wooden shaft with metal cap, that acts a a hypodermic on steroids. allow shaft to slide up the head put poison in the hollow, large enough weight on base, then with a stab or hard enough throw you have a giant sized "tranquilizer dart " shaft slides up pushing the slurry into the creature boom done, could even plug tip with something simple like wax that wont affect the penetration, could even go as far as making glass inserts that shatter in the tube, only other problem is overcoming the hydraulic pressure needed to "fire" the poison?
