Chaosium. Its not a perfect result for pnp. It fits in that
universe and does their animals well enough for variation. But it would
have to be looked at for pnp or such. I think pnp is fine as it is for
the creatures.<br>

It takes imagination of players not some size factor to determine how to kill a
giant :)<br style='mso-special-character:line-break'>
