Well, he wouldn't count as a good amount of his creations are significantly bigger than him.
This applies to both humans and non humans.
How about an Art History / Real Life example of how characters were scaled in Ancient Egyptian art according to their social status? a quote from the other wiki: "To clearly define the social hierarchy of a situation, figures were drawn to sizes that were based not on their distance from the painter's perspective but on relative importance. For instance, the Pharaoh would be drawn as the largest figure in a painting no matter where he was situated, and a greater God would be drawn larger than a lesser god."
Does it count if the character, while more or less "not noticeably" larger in overall size than the others of his/her group, they have one prominent physical feature that is quite significantly larger in them than in the others? (e.g. a band of Winged Humanoids, with the leader being about the same size as the others except for having wings two or three times bigger than those of the next largest one)
Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.The Mass Effect 2 examples look shoehorned to me, but as I haven't played the game myself, I can't tell for sure. Do Geth platforms have leaders?
Generally, it seems that many examples confuse the trope as described (something along the lines of "the biggest one is the leader") with something more along the lines of "huge villain with minions". I've tried to clean up the examples, removing ones that don't seem to fit, but there are many cases where I can't call since I'm not familiar with the work in question.
Has anyone thought of separating some of the video games into a new trope on the tendency for video game bosses to be giant even when they're totally normal humans?
What about Eggman from Sonic? He's a huge Fat Bastard. Or does this only apply to non humans?
