Misprint on Tylosaurus?

[Atalius]

This Summon Monster 6 alternate summoning option indicates a size of Gargantuan, but in its description it shows Space as 15ft, is this a mistake?

I believe Blahpers was trying to help you, yet again, and was swallowed whole by a tylosaurus while researching your question. It may be some time until he returns.

It's hard to say if it's a mistake, since it's possible for a creature to not be uniform in its universal rules and specifications, but it probably is. Looking at the stats, it appears that it is indeed intended to be gargantuan, since they seem to account for a –4 size penalty to AC and a +4 size to CMB and CMD. Having said that, it would seem that its space should be 20 feet (though its reach is correct, being a long creature). I see nothing in the physical description that indicates it should be more compact or smaller than the space of a gargantuan creature per normal.

*ahem*

I agree with Pizza Lord. The space is probably a typo, especially given that its description makes it larger than some other Gargantuan creatures.

Quickwood is size Huge but has space of 5 feet. Maybe because it is a tree and its circumference is 5 feet?

[Atalius]

Would this creatures reach still be 15 at gargantuan size though since it appears long rather than vertical? Or would it be 20 ft?
