You are totally right.  Big monsters when engaged are frozen.

I gave my big dragons wing attacks that could blow people 
over or club them in sides hexes which helped.

But as written, dragons are too easily pinned.

Warm regards, rick

At most, you might let it rotate 30 degrees by moving the tail and head in opposite directions one hex, but then the shape of the dragon's 7 hexes no longer fits neatly in the other hexes, which there are no defined rules for.
