A '''[[Creatures|creature's]] size''' indicates how large it is, roughly communicating other parameters like the model's dimensions/how much space it physically occupies, their weight, and their ability to interact with the environment, such as via [[Rocky Crevice]]s and [[Burrow Hole]]s.

The weight of a creature affects what can {{SAI|Throw}} or {{SAI|Shove}} it.
The weight of a creature affects what can [[Throw]] or [[Shove]] it.
* A creature may throw items and other creatures weighing up to {{Code|[[Strength]]<sup>2</sup> x 0.2}}kg or {{Code|[[Strength]]<sup>2</sup> x 0.4}}lbs.
* A creature may throw items and other creatures weighing up to {{Code|[[Strength]]<sup>2</sup> x 0.2}}kg or {{Code|[[Strength]]<sup>2</sup> x 0.4}}lbs.
** For example, with 18 [[Strength]], one can throw objects weighing up to {{Code|18<sup>2</sup> x 0.2}} = 64.8 kg (or 130 lbs).
** For example, with 18 Strength, one can throw objects weighing up to {{Code|18<sup>2</sup> x 0.2}} = 64.8 kg (or 130 lbs).
* When a creature's size changes, its weight will also be adjusted as necessary to conform with the above categories.
