You'd have to do the following:

1) Enable uncompressed saves in init.txt
2) Open up the world.dat file of the world you want to use the FB's or titans from
3) Look through the raws in world.dat until you find the titans and FB's
4) Copy the raws into one of the creature raw files
5) Enjoy!

You have to open and save the world in order to uncompress the saves.

Quietust came up with a PHP script that will just pull the raws out for you regardless of save compression or active/inactive games.

Copy-pasting gives crash errors for me. You might have to remove the two junk characters between every tag. It's really annoying.
