Keeping in mind, again, that these are just numbers I picked out of the air, based on what kind of makes sense given the control area described above. ( average adult humans have a height of 5.6) ![]() Small and medium, as currently written, is a weird distinction. That is, I wouldn't let a medium humanoid creature get taller than 10ft., because with a sword their reach would logically be larger than the 5 foot space. In general, I think a height less then next control space is about what you'll in the most monster stat blocks for a given size, as a general rule of thumb. I think it is along the lines of designers thinking, "We all know what medium creature looks like, and what a huge creature looks like, but we don't want to some hard fast rule that 9' is medium and 9'1" is large." Height (The extreme end would be rug of smothering which is Large and well. You could maybe take the depicted heights as (approximate) upper bounds, it gives little for lower bounds if you want to cover all existing monsters. It rather obviously doesn't cover anything non-bipedal (the worm isn't much help because that shape doesn't generalize well, and Gargantuan is just anything bigger than Huge anyway), nor does it actually say anything about what the limits or borders are. There is a chart on page 248 of the Dungeon Master's Guide which shows creatures of different height, but it doesn't give you what you were looking for without a lot of extrapolation: The only part the game really defines (PHB 191) is the creature sizes dictating the space the occupy in combat, which doesn't cover verticaly, and is "not an expression of its physical dimensions." The same goes for verticallity in general, really. ![]() ![]() It doesn't really spend a lot of time on height outside of cylindrical spell effects and player characters. There's a reason you don't remember such a chart, because 5e doesn't have one.
