For my current world I did some raw editing. Namely making EAT_SAPIENT_KILL and EAT_SAPIENT_OTHER acceptable for dwarves.
I was surprised to see a weretortoise (discovered to be human after death) show up alongside a migrant wave. I sent my ten poorly trained but decently equipped swordsdwarves to stop it from killing the horse it was nomming on, and it fell quite easily. Because of my editing I was able to butcher it, and not only did it provide skin, it also provided scales, along with a shell. These items were referred to as Begu Relothrug's shell, Begu Relothrug's lower arm scale, etc.

Regardless, I found this amusing, and put it to the best use I could think of.
Making a ≡weretortoise shell helm≡.
Which is how it appeared; It decided to be less specific for the helmet than for the material itself.
I put this here for the sake of science so that others may know of these grand possibilities.

I started doing this a while ago. Now most of my new recruits are initiated by killing a captured goblin, butchering the corpse, and crafting their own shield out of the hide.

Should also have them make their helm out of its bones.

You are aware that this makes dwarves a bit less prone to start wars with elves right? Elves will still get pissed over wood trades though.

Indeed, I actually also changed some other Dwarven ethics in the raws to further improve Dwarf-Elf relations; and I have a binless crafts stockpile for trading with elves. I also made humans babysnatchers and thieves so they're hostile along with goblins. Although I left their ethics mostly unchanged otherwise so they're likely at war with everyone.

Haha I love that, gonna do that too now! But they have to it while naked, wielding only a butchering knife.
