Several fantasies just give em required secondary powers. Griffins use wind magic. Dragons use some form of antigravity or flight magic.
Iirc in Stormlight, the … gigafauna?(Googles and finds it has been cooked for how I want to use it…huh) have gems in them that allows em to sorta reduce gravity in order for them to be able to survive at such a size (the planet also has lower gravity than earth,at 0.7G)
