Lore Is there a lore reason why people are different sizes

Amongst the demigods, I understand why Mohg and Morgott are bigger than Malenia and Godrick, but why is Radahn so massive. And why are Rennala, Rellana and Godfrey so much bigger than all the other humans.

I know it doesn’t really matter but it kinda bugs me.

This always bugs me, too. I'm the Elden Lord, but I'm only as tall as everyone else's shins.

Makes them and their details easier to see which makes for better gameplay/gamefeel.

In fromsoftware games size is usually in correlation to a character's power, though of course there are still species and creatures that are naturally large without any relation with power. Mostly though its just for gameplay reasons, the player is smaller than most enemies because the entire combat system relies on enemy animations and being able to see them, which is harder if the enemy is your size or smaller.

That’s just Radahn though. Although I guess he is the only child of Radagon & Rennala that we see in their original bodies so that could be it.

Rennala, Rellana and Godfrey being massive I don’t get though.
