  • lowest:lower:low:median:high:higher:highest
 These body modifiers give individual creatures different characteristics. In the case of HEIGHT, BROADNESS and LENGTH, the modifier is also a percentage change to the BODY_SIZE of the individual creature. The seven numbers afterward give a distribution of ranges. Each interval has an equal chance of occurring.

Example:
[BODY_APPEARANCE_MODIFIER:HEIGHT:90:95:98:100:102:105:110]
HEIGHT : marks the height to be changed
90:95:98:100:102:105:110 : sets the range from the shortest (90% of the average height) to the tallest (110% of the average height) creature variation.

Example:
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE:BONE:CARTILAGE]
This creates the detailed body of a fox, the skin, fat, muscle, bones and cartilage out of the vertebrate tissues.
A maggot would only need:

BODY_SIZE Caste years:days:size sets up size at a given time. Size is in cubic centimeters (milliliters), and for normal body materials is roughly equal to the creature's average weight in grams.

[BODY_SIZE:12:0:220000]
This describes the size of a minotaur. His birth size would be 10000 (10000 mL, ~10 kg). With 1 year and 168 days he would be 50000 tall (~50 kg). As an adult (with 12 years) he would weight roughly 220 kg
