Notes and Trivia

• The weight of a creature is not influenced by their equipped items or the items in their inventory, as of Early Access Patch 9.
• A creature may only be used as an Improvised Melee Weapon if it is at least one Size category smaller than the wielder.
  • As of Early Access Patch 9, this limitation is not applied consistently to all creatures. For example, Scratch the dog is of Medium size but can be used as an improvised weapon by other Medium creatures (with 17 or higher Strength).
  • Creature sizes can be increased or decreased by the Enlarge/Reduce spell.
