I think it is size 6 because it rides on a lobster (size 5). So you can imagine this being a special Lobster for the Pretenderthat is bigger perhaps.

Or, this may be a balance mechanism, to prevent the underwater Version of Arch Mage from being trampled, and allow it to trample all other smaller units, including Lobsters (suggesting an uber size Lobsters as the Mage's steed...)

Just guessing... It is perhaps worthy of a note that all underwater-only Pretenders are size 6 except Nerid at size 5 (not counting ghost kings, wyrm, lich, and master lich because they are available for land nations as well)
