The idea for the Dragon-Grimm-things was that their skin is leathery and thick (like a cow's hide), not plated (like a knight's armor). In medieval times, blunt weapons, namely maces and flails used the enemy's armor against them, causing their plate mail to cave in from the sheer force of the attack, and crush the wearer. The dragon's skin, however, is thick and leathery, able to absorb and disperse blunt force (like rubber), though they are not completely immunte to it (they can survive a swing ov a hammer, unless it hits their mask, but they can't survive eing crushed by a building, obviously).
