Quick question, can anyone give me an estimate of the height of "The Scotsman" from Samurai Jack & that of the Thelomen Toblokai "Karsa Orlong" (From the Malazan books of the Fallen)?

I know that estimates of one of Karsa's "Progenitors" (An ancient Thelomen Toblokai Teblor from their prime) have the height as near 22 metres (The "Demon" in the pit from "Chain of Dogs" or "House of chains"?), but I'm not sure as to whether he'd be massively larger/taller than the Scotsman (Who I'd estimate is around 2.2 meters tall at a wild guess).

We know that a Toblokai child is the same size as an adult human male of average size, but The Scotsman is much larger than most humans, so the size difference while in Karsa's favour is questionable in its degree (And ability to affect a fight due to range). :?:

Oh Damn. This again. There's at least one thread discussing Karsa's height. Here's the deal. There are conflicting statements in the books about exactly how tall he is. It's impossible to say for sure, because for every statement that seems to definitively place him at one height, there's another that puts him at another. The range is somewhere from eight to twelve feet. PIck whichever one you feel is right, go with it and ignore the contradictory statements. Personally, I lean towards closer to eight than twelve, but it is impossible to say for sure.
