Growth or Feature?

[Sandman XI]

I want to make a large and heavy mythical beast. Just large and heavy. No plusses to Strength or Constitution. At first i though Dispersal was my answer, but that took away too much. I want the weight and carrying capacity. Any ideas?

Thing is, you still have the skills, reach, etc.

I'd do it as Permanent Innate Growth, but buy down Str and Con in the base abilities so most of it is made up of the Growth bonuses.

[N/A]

If the creature is large and heavy, it's going to be stronger than a smaller creature, because it has to carry around its own increased weight and bulk. That's why Growth and Density give you bonuses to Strength, and why those bonuses don't apply to Climb or Swim checks.
