While performing certain actions dragonkin seem to be particualrly resistant to stagger but also susceptible to knockdown - IOW When you hit them it'll look like they don't care, but they'll fall, trust me.

Roar, through the whole animation. Attack the heart with heavy attacks and it's "grounded".

Grab - as above, attack heart and its yours. Just don't get yourself grabbed. Fighter Pawns with Divine defense are excellent at baiting this, but any Pawn is a good bait anyway ;)

Wing flap attack - one needs either a good timed jump attacks or Stability. Again, attack heart and it'll be knocked down in no time.

Tail sweep - again, heart, heavy attacks.

Expert mode - one can actually ground the dragonking with a well timed Antler Toss, when the creature lifts off. Stability required, and Knockdown power above 400.
