0004984: NECK_SPINE nervous tissue damage not disabling ability to stand
RAW location: body_default
RAW summary:
[BODY:NECK_SPINE]
    [BP:NECK_SPINE:neck's spine:STP][CON_CAT:NECK][NERVOUS][INTERNAL][SMALL][SKELETON][CONNECTOR][CATEGORY:SPINE]
        [DEFAULT_RELSIZE:100]

Creatures affected: Giraffe
Description: Damage to the nervous tissue of the neck's spine only disables the ability to grasp on the giraffe, when it should disable both the ability to stand and grasp due to connecting the head and body spinal columns.
Go into arena mode, spawn a giraffe, and attack its neck until the nervous tissue is damaged. It will still be able to stand and attack with its stance bodyparts.
May be problematic should other creatures with the NECK_SPINE bodypart be introduced.
No tags attached.

It looks to me that 0004877 is pretty much the same issue.
