Summary

0005801: Wrestling moves? Grabbing with leg parts

Description

I was reviewing the combat report of my militia's first battle and noticed a dwarf 'grabbing with upper leg'. I thought maybe for some reason the dwarf's arms were being referred to as upper legs so I looked in the gamelog.txt.

I found some more examples which I will list below. It does seem feasible that a humanoid could do some kind of wrestling grab with their legs but doing so with upper and lower leg separately seems a bit wrong. I don't think a dog can go a grab with one leg though.

...

The Axedwarf grabs The Gray Langur by the lower body with her left lower leg!
The Axedwarf releases the grip of The Axedwarf's left lower leg on The Gray Langur's lower body.
The Axedwarf grabs The Gray Langur by the first left toe with her left upper leg!
The Stray war Dog grabs The Gray Langur by the second left toe with his left front leg!

...

Singular leg grabs just seem a bit wrong to me. I don't know if this is happening by design or not.

Steps To Reproduce

Just get into a fight and check out the grabs.

Additional Information

Maybe they were wrestling and grabbing with their legs because their hands were full? The axedwarf in this example was armed.
