It also has an exponential lifting scale. A great wyrm red dragon (Colossal, Str 45, Quadruped) has a Heavy encumbrance of 307,200 lb, corresponding to a Lifting ST of 554 (Str 10 has Heavy of 100, so lifting ST = sqrt( Heavy encumbrance ). However, actually scaling the stats in d20 may produce unplayable results in GURPS.
