How big is Bahamut?

[Cherub]

Yes.

I guess me wondering how he became a primal always lets me forget bout this fact.

We don't have hard information on this (primal inflation), but I'm 99.99% sure this is a "Yes" as well.

I wholeheartedly agree.

Based on my own estimates, Dalumuld is not nearly as big as some have guessed. It was barely a speck in the sky before 1.2 started it's decent.

From what I remember, dalumuld was probably several miles in diameter, (Earth's moon is about 2150 miles in diameter), thus making Dalamuld the approximate size of the Cretaceous Asteroid credited with the Dinosaur's Extinction.

Bahamut was at the center of this thing and bust out of it like it was an egg. From how we see him being sealed in the attempted new Dalamud his actual "Shell" was about 1/3 the diameter of the actual satellite.

So it's much more likely that his wingspan was about a mile or two give or take. Miles and Malms are interchangeable and the City States themselves are not actually that large. (Still the idea of a dragon with a over mile long wingspan is terrifying, especially when it's burning everything in it's path to ashes)

So it's likely his size in the Binding Coils IS how big he was upon his jail break at Cartenoue. And that "Bahamut Prime" was his original incarnation as a mortal Dragon. (Being much smaller and comparable in size to twintania from T5)
