"Keep in mind the furs are magical, enabling them to change shape and hunt on land, and given how strong monsters are she could carry a man with her."

Which would totally be comfortable for the man, wut; being bounced about like a rag-doll and what-not.

"Plus the translation I'm speaking of was done by the normal translator of the profiles, who I think has a track record of knowing what he's doing."

He's a pretty piss-poor English localizer, actually. He might know how to translate at its most literal level, but when it comes to turning what he gets into English as any native English speaker from any English-speaking nation would speak it? His track record is less than stellar.

EDIT: Don't get me wrong; he's far from the only translator with that issue. It's pretty common, really, which is why we have the term "Engrish". But he could benefit from having an editor go through and reword things into a more natural structure.
