There aren't really ANY satellites that are "proportional" to the planet. Satellites range in size from very tiny to almost-planet-sized. The only really surprising moon is Earth's Moon, which is far larger, compared to the planet, than any other that we know of.

However, if we include dwarf planets, then Charon a moon of Pluto is actually the largest compared to it's "parent" planet.
