Creature size inconsistencies

[MaxWilson]

The way I see it, the OP was not so much demanding a fix as asking the community whether a fix was needed.

I've always thought the size rating was comparitive rather than absolute. In other words, size 2 or so is around man height, size 1 is tiny (child, small dog, rodents etc) and size 6 is "large enough that it makes no difference how big it is, anything mansized is still going to end up as a red stain". Hence Dragons and Elephants are the same size level, but not necessarily the same size.

As for sharks, I've always thought of the Giant Shark as being something more akin to the prehistoric 'double decker bus size' beasties rather than the comparitively small modern equivilent.

Ah yes, Megalodon: 40-50' long, 20-30 tons. I'd say that's a size 6.
