How do I tag this?

Is correct to tag posts of non-bipedal animals, monsters and monster girls as standing? Does digitigrade/plantigrade matter?

If you would use standing with the animal the creature is based on, I’d say yes. A horse can be standing, so you could tag a centaur as standing too.

I guess standing only applies if the legs supporting the creature are (mostly) straight. If the legs are bent, it’s usually kneeling, squatting, sitting or something like that. I don’t think it really works with creatures that have legs at the sides, such as anything spider-based.

Lamias don’t even have legs that could be straight and the snakes they’re based on don’t stand either; they lie on the ground or slither around and maybe raise their head.

I think I’d only use standing when it fits pretty obviously for the creature at hand. When in doubt, I wouldn’t tag it.
