Simply put they lack the purpose and special skill. Since fiction has an upper limit it isn't the destiny of some ancient dragon to beat the main human villian unless the author declares so.

Play the game or watch National Geographic. You know how that goes.
This thread is why I used the rules of non-game mechanics, not to mention that game mechanic-wise, certain games have terribly abusive systems that make this question unbalanced in some instances.

This is hardly about the role of fiction and writing but the idea of playful speculation

I feel its interesting to see what people really feel about the context of a weakling final boss whose main strength is showcased purely through the story could handle a being the player experiences first hand as being a grade-A pain in the ass to battle. Just go with it.
