![]() All of these things are technically ‘gargantuan’ in D&D terms. And the Shard, at one point the tallest building in the EU, is over 1,000 ft tall (310m). The iconic Routemaster buses in London are about 37 ft long (11m). A telegraph pole in the UK is about 30 ft (9m) tall. I would argue that ‘anything larger than 20 ft‘ is a pretty vague category. Gargantuan – defined in 5e as ‘anything larger than 20 feet ’ – a whale. No edition except 3rd has had a size category above gargantuan. 1st edition had nothing smaller than ‘small’ and nothing larger than ‘large’. 2nd edition AD&D only went down to ‘tiny’, as did 4th edition, and 5th edition has followed in this tradition. But this was something of an anomaly for D&D. In 3rd edition – the edition I started with – there were eight size categories: fine, diminutive, tiny, small, medium, large, huge, gargantuan, and colossal. Having painted a few dragon minis over the last year, it got me thinking about monster scale in D&D.
