Summary0004503: Each tooth can latch onto a separate enemy body part
DescriptionA skilled biter can use the aimed bite attack several times on an enemy, each time latching on a different body part.
Wrestling then shows latched on each body part with different tooth like:

Dwarf 1 upper front tooth <-Latch-> left upper leg Goblin 1
Dwarf 1 lower front tooth <-Latch-> lower body Goblin 1
Dwarf 1 upper right back tooth <-Latch-> left lower arm Goblin 1
Dwarf 1 upper left back tooth <-Latch-> right lower arm Goblin 1
Dwarf 1 lower right back tooth <-Latch-> head Goblin 1
Wrestle using upper front tooth
Wrestle using lower front tooth
Wrestle using upper right back tooth
...
Grab with right upper arm
etc.
Steps To ReproduceMake 2 creatures in arena mode, one with skilled biting stuff and assume control of this unit.
Use bite attack several times on various body parts and get latched on each time with a different tooth.
Shake your head to hurt a different body part each time without ever losing grab with the mouth on the whole enemy.
Additional InformationI have no idea how i should picture that... sounds like a game of twister inside my mouth :x

I would say that this is related to the current bug of how grappling seems to ignore body part size. Goblins seem to get grabbed and thrown by their teeth, noses, ears...
