One of the weirdest things about the new worldgen is how it always ends up giving us the weirdest werecreatures. Even when you put the number of werebeasts up absurdly, it seems that only the stupidest werecreatures are generated/survive worldgen. Being a werelizard is actually a detriment to most adventurers beyond a certain point (besides the limb regen), in fact, that goes for just about every werebeast I've seen, except maybe the werebear and werelephant I found in my last world.

While PHAIL werebeasts shouldn't be nonexistant, I do think the odds should favor predatory creatures a bit more, either in terms of survival or in terms of worldgen precedence.

It seems the game likes to generate the same werebeasts over and over again, avoiding others.  I have werecougars, but only by using uplift generator on cougars, the game itself refuses to produce them.

It's available on other werecreatures than werelizards, some of which are better suited to combat.  In my experience werehogs beat most other werecreatures(In the arena), but werebears and wereelephants are good too.

Ah, and here I was hoping lizards regenerated.

In any event, I see what you're saying, but why bother relying on random generation if you just want a godly adventurer?  Just mod in a civ entry or a creature with a syndrome that gives you all the goodies you want?

It's not just about having a powerful adventurer: Many werebeasts are a joke in Fortress mOde if you have war animals or marksdwarves, and rarely are a challenge in adventurer mode even on the night of the full moon.
