Yes, this is legal. Its only viable on Red or maybe a quake because that's the only time you're going to find scout up.
It is legal because the giants will fight the dragon on their own, there's no exploit involved in making them fight. I had an ongoing project a few years back to try and kill Sontalak this way using the group of scout giants, as those are available on every scout spawn and pull ~1200 dps as a group once buffed. Galach showed up to watch on one of the attempts, and I talked to Llandris at the time with an outline of the plan to make sure we weren't violating any precedents.
Its surprisingly difficult to get 8 giants buffed, equipped and dropped on target inside the 15 minute despawn time without getting any into summoning range or any enchanters dying. The plan kind of fell apart once it became clear that any AOE damage would cause the giants to chain summon Sontalak off the tank when they're done being feared, making it impossible to sustain tanking for them.
I'm surprised the captain is fear immune actually, all the research I've been able to do implied the level limit was baked into the fear spells directly (unlike 55+ stun immunity, which is hardcoded into the engine) and that dragon fear doesn't have a limit. I haven't been able to test with him for obvious reasons though since I'm on blue.
