"AHAHAHAHA! Here I am at Wrinkledboot, ready to annihilate any dwarves that come my way! OH WAIT OWWW I FORGOT I WAS MISSING TWO ARMS!! AGHHHHH!"

This happened to me. Four times. I don't think I've ever even had a megabeast that managed to crawl over to my gates. "Oh snap a megabeast! I hope it has all of it's limbs this- Aw..."

As it stands right now, the [SIZE] tag is woefully inadequate for visualization.

What we need (assuming we haven't already gotten it, I don't tend to dabble in the raws too much) is a [CRAWLSIZE] tag, or similar, so that (frexample) Bronze Collossii can be blocked from walking through a dwarven doorway[1], but might be able to pass through if crawling, with associated penalty to actions.

And some way of giving naturally prone (or supine?) creatures a [CRAWLSNOPENALTY] style of tag.  Dragons (Wyrms?) might squeeze through a 'small' dwarven hall door without undue penalty (folding of wings/whatever, but still walking fairly normally and having full use of clawing and biting attack, if needed) while maintaining their intrinsic [SIZE] bulk/inertia in such tests.
