This might sound stupid, but I don't find anywhere to change creature damage

For instance :
[ATTACK:BITE:CHILD_BODYPART_GROUP:BY_CATEGORY:HEAD:BY_CATEGORY:TOOTH]
      [ATTACK_SKILL:BITE]
      [ATTACK_VERB:bite:bites]
      [ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC:100]
      [ATTACK_PENETRATION_PERC:100]
      [ATTACK_FLAG_EDGE]
      [ATTACK_PRIORITY:MAIN]
      [ATTACK_FLAG_CANLATCH]

[ATTACK:BITE:CHILD_BODYPART_GROUP:BY_CATEGORY:HEAD:BY_CATEGORY:TOOTH]
      [ATTACK_SKILL:BITE]
      [ATTACK_VERB:bite:bites]
      [ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC:100]
      [ATTACK_PENETRATION_PERC:100]
      [ATTACK_FLAG_EDGE]
      [ATTACK_PRIORITY:MAIN]
      [ATTACK_FLAG_CANLATCH]

First one is from Cat and second one is from Voracious_Cave_Crawler. And you can't see any difference at all (or I'm blind).
Don't tell me they do same damage, this would be too strange...

So where is it, or what did I miss ?

[Knight Otu]

Creature damage greatly depends on the creature's size, and the relative size of the attacking parts (in this case, the teeth). Crawlers are vastly larger than cats, and thus cause far greater damage. The contact percentage and penetration percentage also apply to the damage calculations.

[Warlord255]

Strength of a creature also applies, such that a super-strong creature will deal more damage.

[Zurin]

So if I want to make strong creature, I need to make them big or with token.

If so, what are the token to make powerful creature ?

[Knight Otu]

You can try this tag: [PHYS_ATT_RANGE:STRENGTH:450:950:1150:1250:1350:1550:2250]. That's the tag for the strength distribution of dwarves (which is above-averge). You can theoretically increase the numbers to up to 5000.

[Zurin]

If I understand this well, to set a creature strength, I need to modify :

[BODY_SIZE:0:0:3000]
[BODY_SIZE:1:168:15000]
[BODY_SIZE:12:0:60000]
and
[PHYS_ATT_RANGE:STRENGTH:450:950:1150:1250:1350:1550:2250]

Any other value that affect the creature strenght ?

thx for all this.

Well, if I'm not entirely mistaken, you can also directly increase the size of the teeth for extra damage, though I'm not sure exactly where you'd put the change.

By default they're
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:1]

But if you change it to, like, 300, they'll be about the size of the rest of the head combined, and will do about 30000% their usual damage. If you change the material to be, like, slade or something, they'll also punch straight through adamantine plate armour.
