It's not really big. There are multiple Pluto like planetoids. Also there is a hunk of rock in the asteroid belt youcould name a planet.

Ceres is more than a third of the mass of the asteroid belt. It's at least an order of magnitude bigger than anything else in its orbit. It's hardly a hunk of rock

There's also not that much rock, only 73% of the mass. The rest is ice and mud, with half it's volume being water in some form.
