1	'''Basic Trope''': A character who is gigantic in comparison to humans, but puny by their species' standards.
2	* '''Straight''': [[TheBigGuy Jason]] is the tallest member of the FiveManBand, standing at 6'8. However, he's also a [[OurGiantsAreBigger giant]], whose average height is somewhere around 8'0.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Jason is gigantic to the point where he shouldn't even be considered a party member, and yet he's actually the smallest of his kind.
4	* '''Downplayed''': Jason is of below average height for his species, but it's only noticeable when he stands close to his kin and it's by less than a head.
5	* '''Justified''': Jason hangs out with humans ''because'' he doesn't like being the runt of the group.
6	* '''Inverted''': Jason stands at around 5'3, making him the smallest party member, but his species' average is around 3'0, making him a giant by comparison.
7	* '''Subverted''': "Wait, this guy's 'Runt'? They get bigger?" As it turns out, no: Runt is an IronicNickname. He is quite big by his own kind's standards as well.
8	* '''Double Subverted''': Or at least, he's the largest of his family... all of whom are noticeably smaller than most giants.
9	* '''Parodied''': Jason is from a species of clones who are measured very precisely and are produced to very close tolerances and [[InformedDeformity look identical but he is a runt because he is ten microns too short.]] His brother Jacob is called a giant for being seven microns too tall. Everyone else cannot tell the difference without a nametag or a calibrated laser measurer.
10	* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
11	* '''Averted''': ???
12	* '''Enforced''': Come the second season, the writers decide to put a representative of the giants befriended in the first season in the cast. But giants are so huge there would normally be logistical problems; Jason is the compromise.
13	* '''Lampshaded''': "If he's the runt, I'd hate to see a big one!"
14	* '''Invoked''': Jason wants to join the heroes, but they won't let him join because he's too big. To solve this issue, Jason goes to a wizard to shrink himself down to a more practical size.
15	* '''Exploited''': ???
16	* '''Defied''': ???
17	* '''Discussed''': ???
18	* '''Conversed''': ???
