I want to know how to make an animal that is normally passive and minds its business but if you start hunting/attacking it, it will fight back. What tag, and where, would I put for that? Also, is there a complete list with explanations of tags that control behavior?

[Boksi]

[BENIGN] should do it, methinks.

Your best bet for explanations is the wiki.

Ah yeah I'd forgotten that page.

However, my modded Woolly Mammoths have the "benign" (and "large_roaming") tags and they just run away when my hunters come after them. I'd like them to fight back.

[Rysith]

benign only controls if they can show up on low-savagery maps, I think. I'm not sure where the controls are, though.

Unfortunately, I have yet to crack the code that prevents creatures from running away. Even my heartless, brainless, [NOFEAR],[NOEMOTION] gelatinous oozes fled in terror from any and all dwarves.

[i2amroy]

Generally you have two options, [LARGE_PREDATOR] which makes them attack smaller creatures, and not [LARGE_PREDATOR] which means that they run away.

Hmmmm....hopefully Toady's working on that.

I have had a FEW hunters die to mammoths, but that's mostly from when they run out of ammo, refuse to stock up on more, and then manage to catch the things and hammer them to death with their crossbows.
