(This is from a troglodyte) We have this numbers, but how big would be this creature? Is there any rule?--Niggy 22:05, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
- Sizes are in grams, 60000 is 60 kg (132.3 pounds). Cats are 6kg, dogs 30kg, dragon under 25000 kg.
- Puny dragon takes 1000 years to grow to full size, 5-ton elephants grow to full size in real life in 15 years. --TomiTapio 20:39, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

"Size" is not a measure of mass[edit]
I tested it myself. Size does not measure mass; it measures volume, for both creatures and items. You can trivially test this yourself by editing the densities of tissue materials, and noting that a creature's mass changes as well despite its size being identical. G-Flex 01:30, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
