Caves of Qud provides support for defining custom body part types, variants, and anatomies. | Caves of Qud provides support for defining custom body part types, variants, and anatomies. To have a creature use a specific anatomy, you set the <code>Body</code> part in that creature's object blueprint definition. For example: | ||
<syntaxhighlight lang="xml"> | |||
<part Name="Body" Anatomy="Spider" /> | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||
This tells the game that you want to use the <code>Spider</code> anatomy for a given creature. | |||

| Extrinsic | |||
| Marks a body part type as not being a fundamental part of a creature's body; for example, the robo-hands and robo-arms granted by {{favilink|helping hands}}. This has a few minor effects; for example, it ensures that the body part doesn't get copied when creating a copy of your anatomy. It also prevents that body part from being set as a primary limb and prevents it from dropping an object when severed. | |||
