'''Example:'''<br />
[BODY:BODY_WITH_HEAD_FLAG:HEART:GUTS:BRAIN:MOUTH] <br />
This is the body from a [[Purring maggot]]. It creates a body with head, a heart, some guts, a brain, and a mouth. That's all a maggot needs.

|-
| {{text anchor|BODY_APPEARANCE_MODIFIER}}
| Caste
| 
*ATTRIBUTE
*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:'''<br />
[BODY_APPEARANCE_MODIFIER:HEIGHT:90:95:98:100:102:105:110] <br />
''HEIGHT'' : marks the height to be changed <br />

This creates the detailed body of a [[fox]], the skin, fat, muscle, bones and cartilage out of the vertebrate tissues.<br />

|-
| {{text anchor|BODY_SIZE}}
| Caste
| years:days:size 
| Sets size at a given age. Size is in cubic centimeters, and for normal body materials is roughly equal to the creature's average weight in grams.

[BODY_SIZE:0:0:10000]<br />
[BODY_SIZE:1:168:50000]<br />
[BODY_SIZE:12:0:220000]<br />
This describes the size of a [[minotaur]]. His birth size would be 10,000 cm<sup>3</sup> (~10 kg). At 1 year and 168 days old he would be 50,000 cm<sup>3</sup> (~50 kg). And as an adult (at 12 years old) he would be 220,000 cm<sup>3</sup> and weigh roughly 220 kg.

The default setting for kobolds (a yellow quotation mark) provides a nice "glowing eyes" effect.

The creature will settle in a lair and go on rampages during worldgen.  If this creature has SPOUSE_CONVERTER, it will actively attempt to seek out potential conversion targets to abduct, convert, and have children with (if possible).

This tag causes the usual behaviour of [[werebeast]]s in worldgen, that is, fleeing towns upon being cursed and conducting raids from a lair.  If this tag is absent from a deity curse, the accursed will simply be driven out of towns in a similar manner to [[vampire]]s.
