Maybe you would want to add [CAN_LEARN] so if a ghost strangles many ppl to death or something, he will be good wrestler  :D this would be nice with civilization of ghosts!

I suggest you change [HUMANOID_FLIER] into just [HUMANOID] since otherwise your ghosts will have physical wings just like batmen and such.  :p

No they wouldn't. You just need to define a part for flying. They don't need wings if you define their body as a flying part.

If I'm not horribly mistaken, Humanoid Flier doesn't actually have wings, it just has arms that are specified as the means for flight.  Some fire monsters use this for "magical flight".  I think all flying creatures must have a limb specified in some way.

I'm considering removing the arms of ghosts, so they can no longer grapple.  Poltergeist need arms though, in order to pick things up.

I believe Toady mentioned somewhere how FLIER works in conjunction with body parts.  If a FLIER has no FLIER body parts, it floats around magically.  If it has FLIER parts, then it can be grounded by incapacitating at least half of those body parts.  Since your ghost is intended to float magically, use HUMANOID instead of HUMANOID_FLIER.

careful though, once it starts chasing one of your dwarves, he and anyone near him will end up starving/dehydrating to death due to its constant presence trying to attack them forever
