Weapon Size of a Dragon Claw

Well, a human is medium sized, and our fists are tiny, two size catagories smaller. So, I'd say a Dragon's Claws are also two size catagories smaller or in this case Huge. I'd say thr same for the mouth.

Err... our fists are tiny, but our fingers aren't as big as our hands. Maybe 3 levels smaller?

I wasn't thinking of it as Claw, I was thinking it as claw attack. So, I guess it dep[ends which he was asking for. Good point though.
 

Well, I was thinking of the whole weapon. In this case the arm. The damaging part are the fingers, but the whole weapon is the arm. (just similar to a halberd)

In the PHB page 131 it seems that the dragon arm is 1 size lower than his size, the same for the neck/mouth. But is there anything ruled on this? Or we should rely on comparing sizes?

Thanks again.
 

Unarmed strikes are considered two sizes smaller than the creature using them. I'd use the same rule for natural weapons, in the absence of text that says otherwise.
 

Hmm,

Looking at the MM, The damage for a Huge Falchion is 2d6. The same damage for the claw of a huge dragon.
So based on this I'm considering that the natural weapon of a beast has the same size category of it.
This makes the same size category of a weapon to be smaller than its equivalent for creatures, which makes sense, since a medium mace is smaller than a normal human.
Unarmed strikes are not the same as natural weapons, so I think this rule is OK for me. What do you all think?
