For a while, I've been trying to find an easy way to change the attributes of beasts (like forgotten beasts), which are procedurally generated and therefore have no real easy way of altering, so I was thinking that we could have a way to change how they're generated when the world generates in the raws or something like that. Might just be me, but I think it'd be cool just to have the ability to change.

It would be nice, yes.  In general, anything that is hard coded would be better off in the raws somewhere if at all possible.  I have no doubt that Toady plans to allow this at some point, although it would probably be kind of tricky to allow modding of it.

In the meantime, I think you can kind of hack this by using uncompressed saves and modifying the values yourself after a FB is generated.  At least I've heard that people were able to snoop the raws of some procedural creatures this way.  Hardly a solution and very tedious, though.

I tried this (and tried multiple ways) Didn't work very well, it makes the save file corrupted and then crashes Dwarf Fortress.
