I'd guess the Roc'd be the biggest flying thing, since I can't think of anything bigger than that that flys as well...
I'm doubt full of a Blue Whale, I'd say Killer Whale probably biggest sea, while African Elephant for land.
Any others?

Well, I agree with Dansariki. He might be able to assume bigger forms, but I think his essence would get a little... unstable.
Heh.

Ok.
How well do you think Bartimaeus did against the Assyrians in the Egyptian Wars way back when?
i.e. do you believe the descriptions of carnage?

For some reason, people think that Bartimaeus lies about his achievements like how he killed six djinn in one blow and his titles. And that he isn't as powerful as thought to be.
Or, they think his power decreases as he gets OLDER.
What the heck.
I just want you're opinion on this, and maybe your approval.
The worst thing about Barty is that, maybe he brags a little.
Which spirit doesn't?
No the longer he stays on earth hes weaker!!!DUH!!! :lol:

Oddly enough, this made me a few enemies among the surviving uttukku."

I always belived most of what Bartimaeus said, although for most of it I belived he was probably exagerating it by alot. Also, I kinda viewed it as the older Bartimaeus gets, the more powerfull he gets. I mean, I really don't think he gets physiclay weaker, and besides, he has more expirence to fall back on as he gets older.

I'd say a little more clever than he was, but really, I think his power hasn't changed.

Look at AoS, he was perfectly powerful there. The little shield he had on saved him from one of Jabor's Detonations, and the shield he through on the door held Jabor while he and Faquarl held their little conversation.

Golem's Eye was no different, though his attitude had (amazingly) gotten a little worse towards Mandrake. Hardly surprising there.

PG had him weak, but because of time served in this world, not due to his age.

I've seen no evidence of him being weaker than he once was, only evidence that Nat was the reason.
