So I was looking through the wiki and I came across the Syndromes page, so while scrolling down I saw that serpent people could paralyze their enemies with their bite. I actually remember trying this in the Arena with a platypus man and using his foot poison. Anyway the point is, I was wonder how I could play as one of these races in adventure mode? I wanna fight stuff as a snake guy, because that'd be awesome. So, is there a mod for this or what?

[Greiger]

There are no mods out there that I know of but doing it yourself is a very simple process.

All you need to do is add 3 lines to entity_default.txt in the raws folder.

[ENTITY:ADV_SERPENT_MAN]
   [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE]
   [CREATURE:SERPENT_MAN]

That will allow you to play as a serpent man outsider in adventure mode.  If you ever want to play as something else all you need to do is change the contents of the [CREATURE:X] Tag to the name for the creature in the raws.  (In this case SERPENT_MAN).  Also the contents of [ENTITY:X] can be anything you want, as long as it is a unique name (ie no two entities can have the same name.)  The only tag that cannot be changed is [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE] which is the tag that tells the game that this 'civilization' can be used in adventure mode.

Actually creating a civilization of the creatures so that they would have their own towns and such would be much more complicated.  But this is the bare minimum needed to have a playable serpent man in adventure mode.

Oh and I forgot to mention, you will need to generate a new world after you do this.

What he said. Technically, you can make a new entity_whatever.txt file. And, you can also add more [CREATURE:x] tags to that civ definition as desired. Don't add more than like 50, though. I got the game to crash after adding too many and then retiring and attempting to unretire adventurers, so apparently the game doesn't like to have too long a list.

Just be sure to note that some animal men are fairly weak. Squidmen are soft and squishy, but hey! multiple arms!

[itisnotlogical]

Animalmen are pretty small and thus bleed out rather quickly. Reptile men are bigger and stronger than any sentient I've fought with them in the arena, but I don't think they fall under the general category of "animal man" like dingo men or anaconda men or spotted owl men.

[WillowLuman]

The underground animal peoples already have their own civ. Just add [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE] to their definition (it's at the bottom of the file) and you can play them all as outsiders. Bear in mind that any creature you give a civ to will disappear from the wild.
