0002484: Eight-legged quadruped
I was visited by the forgotten beast Liceyi Cethuthawara, which is an enormous eight-legged quadruped composed of clear glass. On looking at its Wounds report, it does indeed have eight legs and not four.
Generate a world. Look through its forgotten beasts.
I realize why this occurred, and it is a really awesome forgotten beast. Just figured I should point it out.

Its just the way Toady went and described it. Technically it would be an Octoped, although if it had eight limbs, but two pairs were walking pairs (making it a quadruped) and the other two were not used for walking, it would work.

The Forgotten Beasts/Titans are suppoused to be strange looking.

Also, I think you may have an unkillable Forgotten Beast/Titan there.....

Add six legged quadruped to this, although I guess the six legged quadruped is a centauroid? That way it would be quadrupedal and have six limbs.
