I've made a DFHack plugin that parses through all generated creatures in any save file, and gives them names that match their description.

This means that graphics pack makers can actually give randomly generated bests sprites that at least somewhat match them.

It turns this:

As you can see, much more friendly.

I haven't tested it in adventure mode, but fortress mode didn't have any issues with it, and an angel that I spawned into fort mode successfully took the graphics that I set to it.

The plugin will be in the next DFHack release, but if modders need a build for testing, I can provide one.

A full list of the possible name suffixes is here: https://hastebin.com/wajehazola.txt

Also, as you can see in the list above, duplicate names get numbered, so a graphics set will need to repeat entries for common types, like humanoid.

This mod allows titans and demons to look like this.

[Bumber]

Is that all one creature, or several?

Edit: AV thread post indicates it's probably an assortment of clowns and FBs.

[Rose]

Correct. It's a couple different giant beasts, all with sprites matching their descriptions.

[Putnam]

...Wait, just editing generated raws keeps in a save? Does adding entirely new raws with the [GENERATED] tag keep, too?

[Rose]

I haven't tested adding entirely new generated raws, but changing the name of the generated one keeps.

I've also added a function to save the million and a half required creature graphics definitions into a file, to make it easier (read possible) to make a graphics set with the new names.
