It would probably be appropriate to add some lifting strength to such creatures (whose carrying capacity will otherwise not only differ greatly from the D&D monsters, but also often be unresonably low). I don't know if this has been done for some of the monsters, but at least the "Dragon, Black Wyrm" and "Frost Giant" don't have lifting strength.
