As injury worsens, the limp becomes worse and worse, until the creature is heavily crippled in gait at very high levels of injury.

	Under most circumstances, a player must be [[Locational Damage\|hit in the leg]] in order to receive any injury damage. Injury damage is computed as a constant multiplier multiplied by the square of the inflicting creature's [[Damage\|damage]], and then divided by the square root of the victim's [[Size\|size]]. This function on infliction of injury damage was crafted for a couple reasons. Most notably, smaller creatures such as the [[Velociraptor]] and [[Utahraptor]] are almost completely inept at dealing injury damage to their opponents. Other creatures such as the [[Megalosaurus]] and Carnotaurus, other light hitting creatures, are also almost completely inept at dealing injury damage as well. The square relationship in injury damage ensures that creatures who rely on many, low damage bites will be very ineffective at inflicting injury damage. Larger creatures are also less effected by injury altogether, allowing harder hits be required in order to slow larger beasts down.

 Some creatures, ones with the [[Bruisers|Bruiser]] trait, are capable of inflicting more injury damage and are capable of inflicting injury damage under more lenient scenarios.  Most notably, the [[Pachycephalosaurus]] is profoundly adept at dealing injury damage as it possesses this trait.  It is granted a bonus that multiplies any amount of injury it would otherwise cause by a factor of 10.  On top of this, the Pachycephalosaurus is capable of dealing injury to its foes without needing to [[Locational Damage|strike the legs]].  Tail hits, however, will never inflict injury damage to the owner, regardless of whether the inflicting player is a bruiser.
