I think I'll spend some time doing this one. Seeing how much effort (Not much, but still more than anyone else on this thread.) the forgotten beast selector has put into finding good... stuff...

I've troubles with understanding the description of Siga.

eight-legged, means: it has 8 legs
quadruped, means: it has 4 legs or 4 feet

I'm now imagining this:
a) A thing with eight legs and at those legs are another four legs. :o
b) A thing with eight legs and at each leg there are four feet.

Can someone give me an accurate description of how many feet/legs it got?

Maybe my english skills are just not good enough.  :-\

There's no explanation. That's why it's going to be interesting to see what solutions people come up with :)

quadruped is probably being used to describe a body type, ie body like a horse or llama, rather than like a chicken or insect.

eight legs is the actual number of legs that it has.

'cause... yeah. It doesn't say what it is. It should come after the eight-legged. Anyways. I should just admit I can't draw. It would be embarrassing to post my bad drawings.

Now I want to see your drawings. There are no bad drawings. Yours are maybe amazing scribble art!  ;)

As it would be put together in the raws, it would have a quadruped form body plan, with 4 pairs of the simple leg template thrown on top.  The basic vertebrate template provides animal jointed legs for the base 4, but no joints on the simple leg pairs which would come out of the midsection of the body...

Well, gimp decided to stop operating in the middle of when I finally got an idea for the second beast... I'll try again tomorrow. (Or later today, I guess.)

Reminds me of playing games like a maniac. You play for hours, get the most awesome equip, kill the uglies and hardest enemies ever, get the girl, rescue the princess and then the f***ing game just hangs up. In the moment you want to load the game, you realize that there is only one savegame and this is when you just started.
