Campaign Cases: Creatures (https://dnd.wizards.com/products/campaign-case-creatures) releases on July 19th (North America) or August 30th (EMEA).
Twitter has been teasing this product with pictures comparing creature sizes.
And these have been nonsensical. Let's start with the worst offender.

A beholder is a Large creature, thus controlling an area that is 10 feet wide. VGtM also informs us, page 8, that the body of a beholder has a diameter between 4 and 6 feet. One could guess that eyestalks account for the extra range of control.
So where in the world did that 16 feet beholder come from, and why is it representing its kind?

An illithid is a Medium creature, same as a human. While this image does not necessarily go against both creatures controlling a 5 feet wide area on the ground, it is still jarring.
I didn't know ceremorphosis gave your body such a grow spurt.

When I read flame skulls were made from the remains of dead wizards, I assumed that meant, you know, the wizard's skull. Either I was wrong or this particular wizard had a really small head.
Or, more likely, whoever made this picture did not think it through.
If all this reflects the product itself, yikes!
