I am having trouble. I decided to create a new creature. Basically, it will be a small turret that shoots out fireballs. It will be made of iron. I took the tissue from the bronze colossus and replaced the bronze with iron, and I took the fireball interaction from the fire imp.

[BODY:HEAD:1:ARM:1:HAND:1] is not proper syntax or usage and is probably what is causing the crashes. You can check out the body_default file for some proper [BODY:X] values and their associated parts. In the future I suggest you check the errorlog.txt which is created in the DF folder once errors are encountered.

I fixed it, but it still won't work.

You didn't fix it. You literally copy+pasted a body entry into a creature.

[BODY:HUMANOID:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:HUMANOID_JOINTS:5FINGERS:5TOES] is an example of a correct one. All of those are body parts. You can find them in body_default.
