Size is the physical dimensions and/or weight of a creature or object. The sizes, from smallest to largest, are Fine, Diminutive, Tiny, Small, Medium, Large, Huge, Gargantuan, and Colossal. A creature's size provides a modifier to its armor class and attack bonus, a modifier on grapple checks it attempts, and a modifier on Hide checks.
