It could accommodate so many more limbs, if the proper joints were supplied.

Game Instructions: This will increase the Amalgamy of your skeleton as well as adding to the number of Limbs Needed.

Unlocked with Shapeling Arts, 1 x Nodule of Trembling Amber, (25 * Joints²) x Nodule of Warm Amber (see below), Skeleton in Progress 10 to 99

Locked with Skeleton: Skulls Needed

Wiki note: The cost in Warm Amber is 25 * Joints², where Joints is the number of all used and unused joints in your skeleton, namely ( Skeleton: Limbs Needed + Skeleton: Arms + Skeleton: Legs + Skeleton: Wings + Skeleton: Fins + Skeleton: Tentacles). Since this option increases the number of joints, the cost also increases every time you take it. For a rib-cage that starts with 4 joints the cost goes 400, 1600, 3600, etc.
