-TomiTapio says: In addition, if the creature is made of tougher flesh or other material, consider adding [DAMBLOCK:1] or higher to make it more damage resistant. You don't want the Magma Men and Iron Men to die from peasant punches and horse kicks. Consider DAMBLOCK 5 on Iron Men and DAMBLOCK 3 to 5 on dragon scale covered creatures. Adding [SPEED:1300] to eg. horses makes them 1.3 times faster than unskilled dwarves, both in movement and combat. You want your unicorns and giant eagles to be fast and deadly, not defeatable by a single horse.

You don't want the Magma Men and Iron Men to die from peasant punches and horse kicks. Consider DAMBLOCK 5 on Iron Men and DAMBLOCK 3 to 5 on dragon scale covered creatures. Adding [SPEED:700] (that's what elf peasants have) to eg. horses makes them 1.25 times faster than unskilled dwarves, both in movement and combat. You want your unicorns and giant eagles to be fast and deadly, not defeatable by a single horse. Turtle vermin are SPEED:2900 = 0.33 x peasant. Bird vermin are SPEED:400 = 2.0 x peasant.
 [LARGE_ROAMING] means it is larger than vermin and appears outdoors.
 If you want adventurers to encounter a beast more often, try adding more times of day:
 [MATUTINAL][DIURNAL][VESPERTINE][CREPUSCULAR][NOCTURNAL]

 But we wanted 3 fingers for the palm-head. They are not related to the structure above because they should be connected to the head which is not listed there. So let's make them as a new body.
