That means your dwarfs can tame each other and lay eggs?

Don't do anything with the save that could destroy this. Post the save on dffd or somewhere and give us a link in this thread.
Because this, my friend, caves for science.

Radioactive ooze that turned some of your dwarves' former pet crocodiles into Juvenile Procedurally Generated Wrestler Crocodile-men trained by a similarly procedurally generated rat-man into Elite Wrestlers with minor weapon training?

If not that then definitely the raws thing. I always keep a clean DF just in case I booger up while making tiny changes to my raws.

Somehow I think the theme song for this won't be as catchy as the original.

Children you rescue shouldn't behave like rabid beasts.  I guess your regular companions shouldn't act like rabid beasts either.
I think that's a little more impossible than I'm likely to have time for.

Been fiddling with the raws?

This is exactly it. You've been fiddling with the raws, and probably duplicated some creature without remembering to change it's [CREATURE:ID] tag, which confuses the game because there isn't supposed to be more than one creature with a given ID. So now it decided your dwarves are actually crocodiles.

If not raws or duped raws, we must have the save.

Sorry to disappoint, fellas, it was a fluke of world generation.

I might still have the world though, so rejoice!
