This isn't so much a bug as an observation that something might need tweaking.

I noticed today that corpses of NPCs that would be considered small in size, e.g. small bats, rats, etc, weigh considerably more than might be expected. For example, the corpse of a small bat weighs around 80 lbs.

It's likely a result of the changes to corpse weights in general, but can the weight of smaller corpses be set to something more realistic? It causes problems for low level characters who might not have a problem making money from said bodies being turned into "non-specific meat" stew.

The corpse of A small rat lies here. (superb)
Its fur is covered in dirt and its eyes are yellow. Its tail
swishes in a puddle of mud and it doesn't seem to care. It
seems to be looking whatever food it can find in the rubbish.
This corpse has recently been slain.
It is tiny in size.
It is made of flesh and weighs about 10 pounds.

The corpse of a small bat is here. (superb)
You have never in your entire life seen such a mean looking small creature,
though it looks rather peaceful, hanging there. The thought of arousing this
cruel creature doesn't seem appealing.

The corpse of a small spider is here. (superb)
It is black and hair. It has beady little eyes that look at you
like the spider wants to eat you. Poison drips from its fangs.

It is small in size.
It is made of flesh and weighs about 80 pounds.


Looks like it is rat stew for you, for now. Confirmed, likely tied to another problem already being worked on. If that being fixed doesn't resolve this, we'll take this up separately. Thanks for reporting it!

Buttercup: Westley, what about the R.O.U.S.'s?
Westley: Rodents Of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist.

This is still an issue. Going to file as a separate bug for now, seeing as several months have passed.

Thanks!
