Speaking of rule of awesome, did anyone else feel absolutely epic the first time they managed to make a dragon come crashing down to the ground and leave a massive furrow in the earth?

I reccomend the Homestuck Weapons.
You get two weapons:
2 Sords that do so little damage,
and 1 pogohammer that also does little damage, but makes giant hunting easy by bouncing them (and the other enemies). The only way to insta kill with this one, though, is to make them fall far enough to die.

My dragons never do that. When I use dragonrend on them, all they do is circle for a bit and then land normally.

That's what they do if you kill them in midair.

Properly set up characters, on a high enough experience level and low enough difficulty level, can one-shot those dragons sleeping on word walls. At least I have a character that can do that, with a good backstab with the Blade of Woe. It only works at night, though, because somehow they see you at day even through closed eyelids. They go through the waking up and taking flight animation, fly around for a bit, come crashing down, and do the death animation, all in a row... it looks pretty stilted.

They really ought to have made it so that they always crash if killed midair.

They have to be really low on health to do the furrow thing.

I've gotten them to do the furrow thing plenty without dragonrend. I think it has something to do with their stamina, since they tend to do it when I use ice magic.

Something about this game makes me wonder why God lets it exist.
Say, if you give birth on a ranch and then murder your baby will a corpse drop be guaranteed?

If I remember correctly, they crash if they take more than a certain amount of damage at once.

I just figured they crashed when their health dropped below a certain amount, because they always crashed after I had plinked them with a sufficient number of (barely harmful) arrows.

In practice, I usually didn't bother shooting them at all, and just waited for them to get tired of flying. As soon as they landed, I was next to them and they were dead from being stabbed sliced to death, before they could get back into the air.
