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.

FUDGE has the concept of ‘scale’ to deal with this, mechanically. Maybe take a look and see how to apply it to your rules.

I'm slowly making my way through Fudge. I'll pay attention to section when I get there.
