Would anyone happen to know if there is a Spanish translation for "largest", and if there is, what it is?

As usual, you can use several words depending on the context:
El mayor or La mayor
(for example "the largest natural disaster = el mayor desastre natural)
El mas grande, la mas grande
" I have the largest dog" = "yo tengo el perro mas grande".
"My house is the largest on the block"= Mi casa es la mas grande de la cuadra.

Here are two more adjectives with irregular comparatives and superlatives:
Adjective: grande (big)
Comparative: mayor (older; greater)
Superlative: el/la mayor (the oldest; the greatest)
Adjective: pequeño (small)
Comparative: menor (younger; less)
Superlative: el/la menor (youngest; least)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note that when referring to size, grande and pequeño follow the normal rules for comparative and superlative forms. That is, they do not use the irregular forms menor and mayor.
Esta casa es grande.
This house is big.
Esa casa es más grande.
That house is bigger.
Aquella casa es la más grande.
That house over there is the biggest.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When referring to age, use the irregular forms mayor and menor.
Juan es menor que María.
Juan is younger than Maria.
María es la mayor de la familia.
Maria is the oldest of the family.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When referring to the concepts "less" or "greater", use the irregular forms mayor and menor.
El agua es de mayor importancia que la comida.
Water is more important than food.
La comida es de menor importancia que el agua.
Food is less important than water.
