Phantoms seem at least somewhat normal. Definitely taller than average, or at least taller than average compared to the teenagers. Though maybe the height just varies with them? I haven't exactly kept a keen eye, but they seem normal given the fact they are meant to be a counterpart to humans.

However, with creatures like the centipede, that's way taller than whatever can be considered average. And I don't think I've ever noticed bugs being an issue for the kids. Like not even one line from my memory? If there was any mention, it was likely in earlier chapters and was a line easy to overlook.

Which, given the fact they are consistently and constantly outside or having windows open?? Seems kind of suspicious to me 🤷

So because that centipede was enormous and there appears to be a lack of bugs, what about usually big animals? Like bears, are they smaller than average? Is there this weird backwards logic on how animals in the Phantom Dimension function?

Or is this possibly a result of human animals being tested on and thrown into the rift and then the phantom dimension turning genetically modified insect or animals, such as the centipede, into these monster like creatures that torment the beloved six?

I swear I could back this up with time (and crumbs) if I sifted through the first season again, for now I suppose this is all just a question and theory with no answer 😔💔

Or maybe Red just made the centipede big for theatrics and I'm quite literally grabbing at the air.

HOWEVER!!! If it was true and the phantom dimension followed one of these theories, are the kids going to find out and be able to either reverse genetic modifications OR generally handle the sizing of the phantom creatures differently?

I dunno!

Anyways.
