Well the chain bikini really has no defense (other than maybe "make them
want to rape you rather than kill you", but in a hot chick with knife
attacking me, I'm still going to focus on the knife part not the hot
chick part.

You can always get some without the drama from a tavern serving wench
after all.

The dragons;  well they are magical, and they do breathe fire generally,
so they'd be full of hot air...

Maybe they can magically alter their weight/mass/density and they'd
really actually small and skinny and are merely puffed up like a
pufferfish to look more imposing.
