I can't seem to find any guidelines on this. Based on the size of creature or PC, how do you know about high tall they are and how much they weigh?
For example, my druid has a small bear animal companion. About how big is it? How big will it be when it's medium size?
Just looking for general guidelines to get an idea.

We try to indicate these numbers in a monster's flavor text, but this isn't always something we remember or even CAN fit into the text.
3.5 had a handy chart in the back of the Monster Manual that listed standard length/heigh and weight values by size. I still use this today. It's a shame we didn't carry that chart over into Pathfinder, alas.

You can try THIS.

1596 lb. That is how much a huge, 25 str dragon can carry with a light load. Max load of 4800 lb.
Note: these calculations are with the modifiers to carrying capacity due to size and body type. Huge creatures can carry 4x normal, and quadrupeds can carry 1.5x. So 6 total. The numbers would be 1064 and 3200 if your creature was more bipedal
So with that carrying capacity, such a dragon could carry anything up to large without any problems. Huge...might be, depending on which end of the weight scale it falls on.
