I don't think so? I don't remember if there's a token to attach interaction-type syndromes to materials - if there was then the closest workaround would be to have a resurrection interaction with a transformation syndrome attached.

Is it possible to have a creature transform into another on death? In particular, a megabeast?
2013 thread on reviving dead dwarves, with DFHack:
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=127178.15
something like if (megabeast_myname and dead) then (remove death flag and change caste)

Does [GOBBLE_VERMIN_CREATURE:WORM] force a creature to periodically eat worms or die of starvation like [CARNIVORE] or does this tag just make a creature occasionally eat worms randomly for no reason? I am thinking of making an insectivore creature.

Are there any negative side effects to removing [CAVE_ADAPT]? Any way to make a creature do fine both above and below ground?

Removing cave adapt wont have any negative effects; it just means your creature won't become cave adapted and puke everywhere and get dizzy when it goes above ground. So on the whole it would be an improvement.

There are no other buffs or debuffs aside from view range shortening associated with transitioning above or below ground as long as you're not cave-adapt-able. And cave adaptation doesn't even automatically confer improved vision, there's a separate tag for that.

To expand on this, can SPECIFIC FOOD target vermin like worms? Does it have to be used with GOBBLE VERMIN in order for creatures to actually eat it?

EDIT: if not, can I make a reaction that turns a worm into a PLANT and make that plant a SPECIFIC FOOD? Would the civ members then have to eat that worm PLANT and only that worm PLANT for food?

I prefer not add unnecessary plants. Remains and tame vermins can be tranformed into FISH, edible and cookable "worm" as example.

I dont think FISH can be called in SPECIFIC FOOD though. I think it's either creature or plant.

I have been making a modded race based on more warlike and scholary dwarves in fiction but I have seem to have run into a problem

For some reason on launch, every member of the starting 7 is starting out with identical coloured skin, eyes and hair and the nose descriptor is sometimes saying that they have irises.

Anybody have any idea what could be causing any of these issues? All I done was duplicate dwarf raws for these and added a few extra colours for the eyes/hair but the nose one is eluding me

It's hard to tell without actually seeing the raws, but I can make a few guesses.
For the nose-iris thing:
  • When you duplicated the raws, did you make sure to change the creature token? I hear duplicated raws can make things go funky.
  • Is the nose iris descriptor about the size of the iris? If so, that means you've got a BP_APPEARANCE_MODIFIER:LARGE_IRIS that has the APP_MOD_NOUN as nose.
  • Is the nose iris descriptor about the color of the iris? If so, that means you've got a TL_COLOR_MODIFIER that uses some of the special eye colors (e.g. IRIS_EYE_AMBER) with the TLCM_NOUN as nose.
As for people looking the same, it could be down to messed up raws, or the fact that the game intentionally creates people from a small pool of genetic templates (or something like that), so people of the same civilization often share a lot of phsyical characteristics.
