It's canonically a creature of pure evil, maybe petting wasn't desirable for it because of that.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

Can anyone figure out why this creature refuses to spawn in arena mode?

I know its at least making it to the finalizing stage, the game generates an error if its missing a tissue for example.

If it is missing it tissues it may not be available.  Look at the error log and add the appropriate creature and tissue mats.

Try adding creature and tissue mats instead of using them.  Then use body detail plans to specify how tissues and mats layer.

Heres my caccodemon, which would gen errors similar to what you seem to describe:

The error log is currently clean. The missing tissue error was because I deliberately removed one to see if the game was even trying to do anything with it.

Does anyone know what the creatures with the new [CAN_DO_INTERACTION:PET_ANIMAL] interaction all have in common?
I believe the rule was that any creature who had the spit interaction also gets the pet interaction.

You can spawn them, and they are available. You just missed defining any CASTE_NAMEs, which are used for the arena mode spawn listings (you'll currently find them listed as "nothing").

Arguably an oversight, I imagine the reason Foul Blendecs can't spit is because they of their supposed lack of a normal skin-covered mouth cavity, and that doesn't have anything to do with their ability to pet.

My modded "primitive" civ has BANDITRY:100 (so they all live in camps), but the token doesn't seem to have any effect... in fact they get no bandits at all. Help?

But humans have bandit camps without that tag, so it can't be it.

Local_Banditry has nothing to do with bandits. It just makes gangs of people from regular sites out to kill player controlled adventurers.

How can I get a custom race added to the "specify size" roster of creatures when making specially sized armor? I made a minotaur race that is non-megabeast and has all the traits necessary to join civs, assign labors etc. and they work just fine for my needs.My issue is, I can't get them in the list of available creatures so my dwarves can forge them armor or clothin, unless I make them do it personally at the workshop. I only want 1 or 2 in my fort at most, and they were meant to be military oriented, not skilled in crafts so the armor they make is trash.

I do this by making custom body detail plan. There you can specify on which parts of body are which layers (represented by numbers), and in the creature you specify which layer is which tissue.

I use this way, maybe there's something better outta there, I don't know. It works.

Set the tissue layer by its category. I don't know the category for head chitin / head skin.
[TISSUE:ROCKGAR]
      [TISSUE_NAME:marble:NP]
      [TISSUE_MATERIAL:INORGANIC:MARBLE]
      [MUSCULAR]      [FUNCTIONAL]      [STRUCTURAL]      [RELATIVE_THICKNESS:1]      [CONNECTS]      [TISSUE_SHAPE:LAYER]
[TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:ROCKGAR] --bam! It's set.

So some of my creatures have bones in their heads and upper bodies in addition to skulls and ribcages, other creatures seem to not have the same, what causes this?
