'''Body tokens''' are one of the fundamental parts of creatures, and determine their bodily structure.  There are two major types of body tokens: ''body templates'' (BODY) and ''body parts'' (BP).
 
−
 
 
−
A creature uses the [[creature token#B|BODY creature token]] to list all of the body templates it includes.  Each part listed in each template is then included in the creature.  In other words: a creature lists the ''body templates'' it is made of.  Each ''body template'' contains a set of ''body parts''.  Each ''body part'' specifies which other body part it is attached to.
 
−
 
 
−
Body parts can connect specifically to another body part, or generally to any body part of a certain category.  These connections are handled by the CON and CONTYPE body part tokens respectively.
 
−
 
 
−
Body parts can be renamed with a bodygloss, allowing someone to reuse an existing template instead of defining a similar template with only the names of the body parts changed.

| "STP stands for "Standard Plural" and it just adds an 's' to the singular word to save some typing.  If you don't add something in that slot, the body part won't even load." --Toady.  Note that this can cause confusing issues when porting from 40d to 2010.  Make sure you add your pluralizations!
