Is there information about the heights of the main characters? I have always wondered how small Cole is compared to his Fathers since he has low self esteem and that he thinks he is not on par with his Father.  And I have always wondered what Sidd's height is since his clothes are tight due to his size.

I broke my original answer up into parts to make it easier to read.

I think you can get a rough estimate.

In Chapter 1:

When talking about Val, Clyde says "Clients are surprisingly more cooperative when you've got a 7 foot tall croc on your side."

Cole observes about Val: "Despite the fact that Sidd stood at a similar height, the crocodile's mere presence seemed to dwarf him in comparison."

So, we can probably assume Sidd is about 7 foot. Let's make it 216cm for easier calculation later.

In chapter 2, when they're in the library:

"Cole snorted and gave Sidd an encouraging pat on the shoulder. Or hip. He could barely reach half his height."

So that means if Cole standing extended his arm up fully, he could  just reach half Sid's height. That is 108cm

(+3)

Now, if we used the human male Golden Ratio as a standard, this would mean Cole stands at a whopping....66.75cm or 2 foot 2.  For reference, that makes him slightly shorter than a tennis racquet.

BUT, Cole is not a male human. He is a anthromorphic Striped Hyena, and his design is shown that his body reflects that.

So, if we instead used male Striped Hyena limb-to-body proportions, and then upscaled it to human body type, his height would now be....

80cm or 2 foot 6.

So slightly taller than a tennis racquet now, About the same size as an adult baseball bat.

So what does this all tell you?

It tells you that @shirokoi probably did not think about the height all that seriously when he started writing this, and will probably have to retcon some of the dialogue relating to Sidd's height in a future update.

Or he could just change Sidd and Val's height to 13 feet tall. Depends on how ADD he's feeling about changing the script.

or maybe by "He could barely reach half his height." Cole was talking about his height, making him about 3,5 feet

or we could forget that quote, and try to measure the characters by comparing their sprites with Sidd's

(+2)

That's true. Maybe he's 3 foot 6.

If we use sprite method, and crop the image to measure from their head, we get:

Cole - 490 pixels
Sidd - 625 pixels

If we apply that ratio to Sidd's 7 foot, we end up with about a respectable 5 foot 6.

Which...actually fits. That height can simultaneously give someone short-man syndrome, f**kboi style, and twink energy. The gay trifecta. And it fits our boy Cole.

Well, until we hear otherwise, for me Cole's height will be 5 foot 6.
