    Why I can't say anything to the size of bahamut, since I never really thought about it, I would think that his primal form is definitely larger than his original form. While nothing has been set in writing it has almost been all but confirmed that the primals were once high ranking individuals in their respected societies/ beast tribes, which explains why they were worshiped enough to become the gods of their tribes.

    In fact, on a side note, I think Garuda, Suparna, and Chirada are actually sisters, similar to the gorgons of greek legends, with Garuda being the counterpart to Medusa.

    It's possible, though in spite of people colloquially calling them sisters in parties, I've always assumed that they were temporary clones as an extension of her power, similar to Ifrit dashes. Garuda, Suparna, and Chirada are actually all real-world names referring to the same deity.

    The difference being that, unlike Ifrit, Garuda is crazy enough to actually name her clones. I like to head canon that she suffers from some form of power-induced schizophrenia, actively playing each copy as an independent being, subconsciously naming them and playing it out as though they're underlings in her employ.
