I've often thought that CON should be relative: in what sense is a
healthy dragon, or horse, or whatever, more or less "healthy" than a
healthy human?
Assuming roughly the same density/toughness across living tissue it
seems to me that size and natural armor is what makes the most
difference.
I'm thinking unusually high CON probably should be reserved for the
"don't know it's dead already" critters like giant slugs.
