I feel like there needs to be a better name for what multi_teeth means, the multi_* family is generally for, like, supernumerary anatomy, amounts over what's normal for an animal, no? that's why multi_leg is only implied by numbers of legs that aren't normally naturally occuring numbers. but mulit_teeth seems to just be for multiple rows of teeth regardless of what's normal for an animal, even making note of sharks.

Speaking of multi_leg, the tag is intended to be used for posts with more legs than normal, but it's used on a significant portion of centipede posts where is not really more legs than normal

There's also a question of whether anthro snakes are technically multi_leg

Looking at the other tags, the multi series isn't all that coherent

maybe we might want a better word than "multi" for all of these in general. something that makes it clear that it's not just "lots of" but specifically "more than normal".

for anthro, I think biped is normally the defualt, otherwise they're naga _{(and by extension draconcopode)}, so we already have a way to differentiate the two.

however, someone actually brought up something related to this in the DWHATFT thread recently. we should probably have a generalized tag for posts containing normally legless ferals drawn with legs, we have the *_growth tags for a character sprouting limbs or other anatomy but not just characters who have mismatched anatomical bits (unless they're genitalia).
