This reminds AFB me that Vlad somewhere says Kragar is an entirely average Dragaeran in appearance (no luck with the book search on average or medium or typical) - while of course the typical Dragaeran looks like a Teckla. It seems likely that the run-of-the-mill Teckla eats less well than the nobility, gets worse health care, etc., and hence is shorter than Vlad's friends/enemies.
