So this is interesting, & after a bit of thinking, I'd give it to Gogmazios. Here's why:
Gaismagorm can create some powerful explosions which could easily harm Gogmazios, but Gog can easily avoid these by flying out of range. Gais' blood beam could be the biggest problem for Gog, but that takes a lot of energy to use with help from the Qurio. Gog, however, can fire it's oil beam just by igniting it, which it can naturally do.
(Aka me gushing about the probable relationship between this two because why not-)
Ah yes. Gogmazios and Gaismagorm. Two very powerful (and terrifying) elder dragons. And we know exactly what many want these two to do: FIGHT!
Of course, it’s very likely we will never get to see that. But we can still speculate based on what we know of them so far, what could happen if this two did meet.
Knowing that both monsters live underground (in Gog’s case it’s just temporarily until it’s hungry) it’s very likely they would cross paths occasionally. However that doesn’t necessarily mean that they would conflict with eachother often if they don’t have any reason to. After all, they are animals that, while likely smarter than other monsters, still follow their instincts.
Of course, we have to ask: what reason would make them fight in the first place?
An option that can be easily eliminated is food. Gogmazios eats sulfur, while Gaismagorm uses the Quiro to suck the energy of other monsters for itself. Their diets wouldn’t be affected by the presence of the other. Of course, one can make the argument that a Gaismagorm would try to use the Quiro to suck Gogmazios’ energy, but there is one big problem: The tar.
That thing covers every inch of that elder’s body, and it’s a very sticky substance. If the Quiro tried to attack it, they would get stuck in the substance and end up suffocating or being unable to fly. That means that if Gais tries that strategy it would only end up loosing too much of its Quiro, so it very likely doesn’t even try to prey on Gog knowing that the risk of doing so isn’t worth it.
But, there is one thing they somewhat share: territories. Gaismagorm spends most of its time moving underground. Gogmazios does so as well, although it doesn’t move as much as it hibernates in it. So, if these two found itself in the same area, they wouldn’t be happy of eachother’s presence.
In Gogmazios’ case, it very likely wouldn’t want to have another giant monster in the same place as it is sleeping, since it can attack it while it’s vulnerable and it very likely would slow it down when it’s starving and searching for food
In Gaismagorm’s case, Gogmazios would almost certainly scare its food source and it’s tar could kill its Quiro very easily. And, if it is as territorial as many other monsters in the games, it would likely not appreciate having its hunting grounds used as a bed by another elder.
So, now that they have a very good reason to not want one in the same place as the other, what would happen? who would win?
Well, there are a few thinks that give each one an advantage and disadvantage over the other:
Gaismagorm has very powerful forelimbs it can use to grab foes and claw at them, but it’s hindlegs, although strong enough to support its body, are pretty much pathetic at moving at high speeds. And while it has is Quiro to create attacks, as said before they could not pass that tar. It could grapple Gog easily, but it can’t use its Quiro to attack it.
Gogmazios also has powerful forelimbs (and wings!) and unlike Gaismagorm its legs are developed enough so it can actually run and move faster than one might think. That combined with its tar makes it a dragon that is difficult to approach without getting hindered by the sustance.
Overall Gaismagorm seems more physically powerful than Gog and could pin it down to attack it , but Gogmazios would very likely manage to avoid many of its physical attacks and attack more rapidly since it can move better in the surface than the other.
But if there is one factor I consider crucial in deciding who would win over the other, it’s the fire and tar Gaismagorm can set its body ablaze and one of Gogmazios’s beams it’s one of fire as well, but it has another one that uses the substance covering its body
So, for me, the winner would be who could use their element to damage the other faster.
Tar is a very inflamable material, so if Gaismagorm managed it to set it ablaze it could easily hurt Gog and if that manages to leave part of its body exposed it can have an opportunity to use its Quiro to feed on it while it’s vulnerable.
But on the other hand, if Gogmazios managed to cover Gaismagorm on that same tar, it’s Quiro wouldn’t be able to give any energy to their host and leave it weakened enough for Gogmazios to attack more precisely.
Overall I find it very interesting to think how a monster’s respective powers could help them beat another enemy, or instead give them a big disadvantage over them.
