It would be nice if creature pages had their size listed in the little sidebar.

Then I wouldn't have to go digging through the raws to get a rough idea of how nasty a creature is.

The World Without Knifebear — A much safer world indeed.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

I agree with this and have no idea how to set it up.

Automatically extracting them from the raws isn't an option, since creatures not only have multiple BODY_SIZE tokens for age groups (and our current templates will match the first one they find, not the last one), but some even have caste-specific body sizes.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Try using this page: http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Creatures
It only lists adult body sizes, so it will probably give you a good idea of what to expect.

Pretty sure the OP was making a point that he doesn't believe we should have to use the work-around.

I agree. Creature descriptions should include a LOT more information that they currently do.

There you are, creature sizes are now listed in the sidebar. I also added pet attributes.
