But I can't.

Why?

Do they show up in the wild at all? They look like they should work at a glance, but then I haven't tried adding pets myself yet.

I've never seen them.
It did work once, then I changed a bunch of things and now it doesn't =/

Well the only thing I can suggest is to troubleshoot.

Start off with say a horse, but change the horse's body to that of one of the worms. If horses don't show up, you'll know it's a problem with the bodies. If that's not it slowly change bits until you've isolated what's wrong.

It's a bit of a pain, but I've found that if I don't restart my computer before generating a new world some changes don't take affect.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but I can't spot what's causing the problem.

Good luck!  :)

Yeah, [COMMON_DOMESTIC] should do the trick... Maybe you have to do something to the entity file for dwarves?

make sure you put the filename at the start of the text file O.o; i made that mistake and was fighting with in for quite a while trying to figure out why it would not work.

It does have the filename, I just didn't include that part here.
Hmm...

Also, my errorlog is hard to check, because even on a virgin copy of the game it is spammed with errors that aren't my doing D:

Hmmm, that is a good point.
I doubt it affects this particular problem, but that will likely fix a bug I would otherwise find in future.

Thanks.
