Creature Size is an attribute of all creatures that influences various gameplay mechanics and actions.

A creature's size can be determined by right-clicking it and selecting Examine.

Size Categories

Creatures can be Tiny, Small, Medium, Large, Huge, or Gargantuan.

Size Maximum Weight Example Creatures
Tiny 6 kg / 13 lb Cat
Small 40 kg / 88 lb Goblin, Halfling, Gnome
Medium 200 kg / 441 lb Human, Elf, Dwarf, and many other Playable Races
Large 5,000 kg / 11,023 lb Ogre
Huge 50,000 kg / 110,231 lb (None yet in Early Access)
Gargantuan 500,000 kg / 1,102,311 lb (None yet in Early Access)

Notes:

  • 'Maximum Weight' in this table refers to the weight of the creature, rather than the creature's carrying capacity, which is determined by its Strength.
  • When the Enlarge/Reduce spell increases or decreases a creature's Size and weight, additional weight is added or subtracted if necessary to place the creature in the correct Size category.
