Growing Into Their Paws	comment	Let's say that you have a very young character, typically of an animal-like or otherwise non-human race, who has a very small physique overall. However, the character also has some bodily feature that seems to be disproportionately large compared to the rest of the body. As the character is shown growing up, that bodily feature is shown to foreshadow how big the character will end up; in other words, the character will grow in such a way that said bodily feature will eventually no longer be disproportionately large. The trope name comes from the idea that dog owners can predict how big their pets will get based on the size of their paws as puppies. In reality, this zigzags wildly based on the breed: while a mastiff puppy will likely have proportionally larger paws than a dachshund puppy of the same size, there are large dog breeds like collies that have small paws compared to the rest of their bodies both as puppies and adults. Purebreds are also more likely to follow this rule than mixed breeds.

Growing Into Their Paws / int_110dcdca	comment	The Maiamai in The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds have this in relation to their shells. The Baby Maiamais start off wearing shells as big as the rest of their bodies, while Mother Maiamai has a shell that is the same size as their's but looks tiny in relation to the rest of her much larger body.

Growing Into Their Paws / int_1f0bc3d3	comment	Hellboy's right arm, which looks only slightly larger than his left arm as an adult, was very large proportionally when he was little, to the point that as a baby it was about the size of the rest of his body. The reason it started off so disproportionate is because it technically wasn't his normal right arm: it originally belonged to a spirit who created the Ogdru Jahad before he was destroyed save for his right arm, which was eventually grafted onto the newborn Hellboy in the hopes that it could be used to reawaken the Ogdru Jahad.

Growing Into Their Paws / int_74f7210c	comment	The Legend of Zelda: The Maiamai in The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds have this in relation to their shells. The Baby Maiamais start off wearing shells as big as the rest of their bodies, while Mother Maiamai has a shell that is the same size as their's but looks tiny in relation to the rest of her much larger body. Prince Sidon from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is introduced as an uncommonly large Zora, specifically being twice as tall as the more averagely-sized Link. A flashback in "The Champions' Ballad" DLC shows that his head appendage was already longer than the rest of his body when he was a child even though he was half Link's height at the time.

Growing Into Their Paws / int_b1058237	comment	Temeraire: When Kulingile first hatches he's horribly malformed, to the point where it's recommended by several characters that he be euthanized. However when he reaches adult size his deformity is revealed to have been because of an overly large airsack, and as an adult he has much better flight stability than other dragons.
