A character is noticeably larger than one or more of their parents. Often PlayedForLaughs, but can sometimes be PlayedForDrama. Either way, it's often used for irony since we expect younger characters to be smaller than older characters. Can be justified if the child is the result of InterspeciesAdoption.
