Size of souls
Does anyone have access to a list of the size of different creatures' souls? I'm looking to fill a couple of Grand Soul Gems to power enchantments, but humans's souls are too large, and most other creatures' are too small. I'm guessing it must be a humanoid of some sort but then I've ben wrong so many times in this game!
Soul sizes...and possible SPOILERs
Human souls (or NPC souls, human, argonian, or otherwise) can't be put into a standard 'grand' soul gem. This is considered Necromancy and if you follow the Mage Guild questline you'll find out all about that...
This has been discussed, but monsters are leveled to match your level in Oblivion thus if your character is low level you'll have a very hard time finding monsters with Grand souls to fill your grand soul gem. If you're a high level then you'll bump into grand soul monsters frequently. If you wander into Minotaur Lords all the time then you can fill your Grand soul gem properly. If you frequently battle with rats then you'll only find petty souls and you'll waste the capacity of the gem.
One soul per soul gem. You can't 'stack' souls to fill up a Grand soul gem like a backpack.

Souls of Humans, Elves of all types, Khajiit and Argonians can only be captured in Black soul gems. Souls of other "humanoids" like goblins, ogres, humanoid daedra, etc. can be captured in regular soul gems of the appropriate size.
This might not be a comprehensive list, but here are some creatures I know have grand souls: Lich (but not Nether Lich), Minotaur Lord (but not regular Minotaur), Goblin Warlord, Gloom Wraith (not other wraiths), Xivilai.
One sure-fire source of grand souls: if you become Grand Champion of the arena, you can fight beasts in the arena once per week. If you're high enough level (20+), the beasts will be Minotaur Lords.

Can the answer to this question be "No"?
There is a list of souls right here in this forum in one of the earlier threads, just do a search and it should be no problem to find.
And He whispered to me in the darkness as we lay together, Tell Me where to touch you so that I can drive you insane; tell Me where to touch you to give you ultimate pleasure, tell Me where to touch you so that we will truly own each other. And I kissed Him softly and whispered back, Touch my mind.
