Modding

The animations don't always work well with the models of other creatures; in this case, the Necropolis dragon will be flung across the screen as if it were hit by a combine harvester (most likely).
And here's my question: do some animations affect the scale of the model? Can this be fixed? (I encountered this problem during an experiment: the cyclops animation works for the minotaur, and it looks good, but the minotaur shrinks to the size of a goblin).
