Hi,

I can't seem to find the height of a creature in most of the entries.
For example : How tall is an Elemental Monolith (from CA)?

Or is there a basic standard height for each size category?

Thx in advance...

Giants and humanoids are usually a few feet taller on average than their space allows. The elementals are humanoid in shape, so I think the same goes for them. I'm seeing a pattern here actually:
Medium 6'
Large 12'
Huge 18'

Note: While this may lead you to believe their space is say 5x5x10(for medium), I think it is easier to leave it as a cube. (It only alters the number of smaller opponents you can face) Besides, when in combat, you usually aren't standing up straight anyway.

So... that would mean that a Colossal creature in humanoid form would be about 26' ft tall?

The official largest dimension (height for a biped; length for a quadroped; etc) by size category is as follows:
Fine: Under 6"
Diminutive: 6"-1'
Tiny: 1'-2'
Small: 2'-4'
Medium: 4'-8'
Large: 8'-16'
Huge: 16'-32'
Gargantuan: 32'-64'
Colossal: Over 64'
