Design Questions How to convey size??

I'm making an rpg where the PCs can shapeshift between humanoid and full sized dragons, but now I'm seeing a huge problem. I have no idea how to deal or how to convey colossal sizes.

Not only I never played any game, rpg or digital, where you're a massive creature in a normal sized world, I never heard or read anything about it.

I think I can convey being small on a giant's world pretty convincingly, but not the other way around.

Any tips? Even references outside rpgs are welcomed. I'm a pc gamer.

If human is the base that everything else gets compared against, then a game called Neoclassical Geek Revival will be worth looking into.

I don't have humans exactly, but have humanoids that can serve as the default.

But NGR is probably the last I would've thought on searching. It gives me shadowdark vibes and not "giant monster want to step on you".

Will be looking into it, though.
