History Main / LargeRunt

* Chilchuck in ''Manga/DeliciousInDungeon'' is, as a half-foot, literally half the height of the [[OurHumansAreDifferent tallman]] leader of the party and looks like a child. In fact he's rather large for a half-foot; in a species swap, the other party members are visibly shorter than he is, and every time they encounter another of his people Chil is bigger than them. As the party's specialist in disarming traps, which are often set off by someone walking across sensitive plates, he actually tries to control his diet to remain light enough not to activate them.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', Mei's panda form is eight or nine feet tall when standing upright, which is comparable to an adult polar bear. But she's easily dwarfed by the red-panda forms of Grandma Wu and her aunties, all of whom are 20 to 30 feet tall. They in turn are tiny compared to [[spoiler:Ming's panda form, which is comparable to a blue whale.]] It's implied to be because she's still young.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', Mei's panda form is around 8 feet tall, easily twice the size of an average adult human, and comparable in size to a large bear but it's easily dwarfed by Grandma Wu and her aunties' roughly 20- to 30-foot-tall panda forms, comparable to elephants which are in turn dwarfed by Ming's kaiju-sized one comparable to a blue whale. It's implied to be because she's still young.

* Franchise/{{Shrek}} is 7-8 feet tall, but in ''WesternAnimation/ShrekForeverAfter'' we learn that male ogres are normally much larger and more muscular. Before that movie, the only other ogres that were ever seen were Fiona and their children, all of whom are smaller than Shrek, making this even more of a surprise.

* In ''Literature/TheBFG'', the Big Friendly Giant is 24 feet tall, but the evil man-eating giants are 50 feet tall.

* Blue whales, the largest animals on Earth at nearly 30 meters long, have a subspecies called the pygmy blue whale that is only 24 meters long.

* ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'': In ''Asterix at the UsefulNotes/OlympicGames'', Rhodes sends a [[{{Pun}} colossal]] athlete with his equally-proportioned brother in the crowd. When the Rhodian easily wins every strength-based event, his brother is asked if their whole family is the same...
--> Oh no, our older brother is much stronger! But he couldn't make it this year: he still hasn't gotten over the clout our ma gave him!

* ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperheroes'': In one reboot, Colossal Boy (normally a {{Sizeshifter}}) is depicted as being from a planet where everyone is a giant. His power, compared to the rest of his people, is being able to ''shrink''.

* On ''Series/OnceUponATime'' the first giant introduced was one called "Tiny." While huge by human standards, his giant siblings are much larger than he is, making his IronicName not so ironic after all.

* In ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'', a recurring character is [[PunnyName Hugh Normous]], the runt of a family of giants. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in a later episode, where Hugh learns that he was actually adopted and is biologically human. He's actually a full head taller than both of his birth parents.

* ''WesternAnimation/DCSuperheroGirls'': Wonder Woman is taller than most full-grown men, but [[TeensAreShort she's not even fully grown]] -- adult Amazons like her mother are over eight feet tall.

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV: Endwalker'' features the Arkasodara tribe of Matanga, big bulky elephant-people. While they dwarf most other races, they're [[EvilIsBigger barely half the size of the antagonistic Gajasura tribe]] previously featured in ''Stormblood''. The Matanga tribal quests involve a group of Gajasura who were mocked and exiled by their kin for 'only' being as big and strong as Arkasodara.
