"It takes a village" is one of my favourites MLP fanfics ever, it shares first place with "On a Cross and Arrow" in my heart, and it's the fanfic that made me realize that Spike is indeed best pony.

Sorry Dash, you know I love you, but you'll have to settle for second here.

Anyways, a brony at the ITaV's thread on Equestria Daily was asking about Spike dimentions on the fanfic, and the user DeftCrow gave him a pretty detailed estimation that I just had to draw. I tried to stay faithful to his description and to the info we're given in the fic, though I couldn't help altering some details in order to make it more aesthetical.

Find the fanfic here: [link]



And in case anyone wants the details, DeftCrow's description was:

" Around 3 times of an average pony's height when standing on four legs(almost as tall as a thatch house when walking in two legs), 3 times of Twilight Sparkle's width. Length is alluded to be much longer than he is in the show, so I assume seven ponylengths. (Tail included, scales not included.)
Assuming the volume proportions of ponies and dragons within the length/width/height cuboid are similar(both have neck and head above the body, leaving large vacancies behind the neck), his volume can be estimated as about 63 ponybulks. That is, he would take up space that can fit in at least 60 ponies.
Let's compare that to the show's spike. Thanks to some images that show the scale between him and other ponies, we can estimate his dimensions as 0.6 ponyheight, 0.7 Ponywidth and 0.35 Ponylength, including his tail. Since his tail is going to stick out of his length, I'll assume his volume packing fraction is about the same as ponies. Then, his volume is about 0.15 ponybulks.
Comparing the results, his height grows to up to 5 times(much taller if he stands in two legs), his length about 23 times, and his volume grows about 400 times to his original bulk."
