Dragons,Transformations and weird monsters like Hirudegarn aside.I think Grey Boo is one of the tallest one.
As wee can see here.Piccolo (Around 7 feet tall) is very small compared to Fat Boo and look at him compared to Grey Boo.
But the height of the characters have been pretty inconsistent.There's a shot where King Cold looks massive as hell.

It all started in the Boo arc.
Piccolo Daimao also looks huge.

Piccolos chair makes him crazy tall.
So the chair just makes you grow by 20 feet. :lol:

One of the basic ki-manipulation techniques all Dragon Ball characters possess is the ability to wildly alter their scale.

porunga is wayyyy taller than shenron. I agree he is the tallest character in the series, including 23rd TB piccolo & ozarus
He's bigger, no doubt. Longer/taller, though? Shenron is always curled up. It's hard to say which one is taller.
Not to mention, that after Dende restored him, he's all of a sudden a lot bigger and that's still while being curled up.

I always thought than Tenshinhan was very tall, but then i saw that i'm 6 cm taller him. It's asian work of fiction, after all, and they're usually short :P

Well, 187 cms is tall. You just happen to be even taller :).

I mean, the estimated average height for the human male across the world is approximately 5ft 8 1/2in (1.73 m). Tenshinhan is 14 cms taller than that.

Bora looks really tall, but Tao Pai Pai is kind of short, so he probably looks bigger than he should.

There's also Upa being the size of Bora's head which makes him look even bigger.

Well, excluding Hirudegarn, Oozaru, Giant Namekians, and other giants, Yetti, Yemma, and the dragons, it'd be Broli or Burter, wouldn't it? I know Dabura and Buu are pretty tall also, but Burter isn't exactly a dwarf.

But then again it could be King Cold, couldn't it?

Size is pretty inconsistent with pretty much everyone.
Oh, you think the Grand Tour is your ally, you merely stepped into the Grand Tour. I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn’t see the Super until I was already a man; by then, it was nothing to me but blinding!

king piccolo is taller than these kids.
king cold is taller than him.

Some preliminary round fodder (vs krillin) in DB at 22nd TB was really huge too.

In the manga Fat Bu is not so tall.
