If this is a thing, may I participate? I still have the old raws for the draconic beasts mod floating around. A couple things I don't see on your list are included in it, and I also made the frost wyrm already, if you just wanted to copy that, although the breath weapon needs to be changed to something that isn't 100% lethal to everything ever. (It's a liquid that is always at dangerous sub-zero temperatures, so anything it coats that has any vulnerability to cold damage will be destroyed in just a few turns.)
I've just been focusing on other things right now, and ran out of inspiration...

Do you have experience with python?  Not trying to be facetious, I've just been running into every brick wall in the dark trying to change the few things I want to and getting someone with experience might be helpful.

I have a very small amount of experience with python, but probably not the level you're looking for.  I'm much more proficient with C++ and Java.

None whatsoever, sorry :/

Ah well.  Decided to launch the newest version with the basic PyLNP rather than the attempt to customize it I had been trying.

For the 0 of you who still follow the mod:  I haven't dropped the project, don't worry.  Life happened and has screwed me out of working on it for quite a while, and likely will continue to screw me out of it for the near future.  I will work on it when I can and get back to you.

The two-headed dragon idea will be implemented as part of the grave drake.  Additionally, the Tarasque will likely be implemented.  The Garrgouille will require DFHack, meaning that I'm not going to deal with it right now until I get the first release out (which likely won't contain the Grave Drake or Tarasque either, just because those will be a little more difficult to mod).

I've sometimes thought that if the description of the Amphisbaena were of a true biological, it would probably be referring to a false-head, like a centipede's, or a pincer or thagomizer mounted on the tail.  Maybe something to work with there. 

Does the Gargouille really need DFHack?  I think you can just specify what material the breath attack should use and make it water.  I think it's [MATERIAL:WATER:BREATH_ATTACK] though the syntax may be off.  MATERIAL can be any of the material tokens, AMBER, CORAL, GLASS_GREEN, GLASS_CLEAR, GLASS_CRYSTAL, WATER, COAL, POTASH, ASH, PEARLASH, LYE, MUD, VOMIT, SALT, FILTH_B, FILTH_Y, UNKNOWN_SUBSTANCE, GRIME.  And of course,  INORGANIC   Magma when specified with subtype NONE or NO_MATGLOSS, otherwise a user-defined inorganic material.  Which does bring up the totally gnarly idea of a dragon that "breaths" VOMIT.  Frat Dragon.  Ash, glass and rocks would also be interesting.  There's also the beautiful UNDIRECTED_ITEM_CLOUD:ANVIL.

Sadly undirected item cloud wouldn't be a very effective breath weapon. I mean, the floor would be coated with pools of iron anvils deeper than the Marianas trench, but they won't actually do anything.

I like the idea of the grave drake having a second head at the opposite end of the body. Give it two separate breath attacks, one for each head. Necrotic venom from the fangs of the true head, pain inducing spores from the tail.

Hmm, maybe that would be a little too much Fun...

Who says the anvil dragon has to be a deadly dragon?  It can be a divine blessing from Armok himself. 

[Dwarf4Explosives]

A dragon that breathes vomit...a permanently hungover dragon. This is DF's "Oh God of Hangovers". Best idea ever.

Also, while dragons with polycephaly are common, what about a dragon with multiple bodies? In real life, you could imagine it folding its other bodies around to act almost like giant claws, allowing it to slap creatures with its tails while breathing fire at them simultaneously.

The anvil dragon sounds definitely like a blessing of Armok, but more in a "Spontaneous Loony Toons" killing method sort of way. Pools of items are boring in my experience. I once gave dragons the ability to breath sawblades. That was one of the least interesting RAW experiments I've ever done.

That is terrifying.

How about just, like, a centipede dragon with three prehensile tails?

So.

My apologies to the, like, two of you who actually have this mod, but I have been unable to update this for quite some time and will be unable to do so for the forseeable future.

My apologies again.
