Well, if you must, you could make lots of Devonian fish. The Devonian had a great variety of cool fish, from the edible to the eats-you.

True. And I think sawtooth garr are a remnant from that age which persists to this day. ( I might be confusing two or more different species. )

After watching numerous chess themed episodes of various shows today I've decided to put a reference  to it in my ice man tribe/race.
Their caste abilities shall reference their piece type.

Why? Because I can.
It will make my additions more interesting to say the least.

Though Phoenixs,(Phonei!), Centalopes, ice men, and secret music ability is pretty interesting already.

Heres a question.
If music is a secret does that mean that my bards will attack fortresses like necromancers?

No. The secret isn't what makes people attack forts, it's the having an army of zombies that does. No zombies, no desire to get more dead bodies.

Thinking about it, I just realized that I cant make music both a secret AND make it require an instrument.
Shoot.

Edit: Unless I make the ability to make the instrument a secret.
Would that work?

Hahaha. So ends the life of the logically challenged. Poor Icemen. Also, I haven't been working on the mod, sorry. Your icemen gave me an idea: Try to incorporate the concept of edible pastry people. I have no idea how I would do that, so that is priority last. But then, when they exist you can murder and burninate the pastry people and eat everything they're made of. Even their clothes which are made of various confectionery. Their attacks are also ridiculous weak, obviously. I dunno, I may not even have them attack at all. Hmm.... Do you guys think that would make it too easy? Also, should there be pastrypeople civilizations? All these questions and more on "The Mind of a Newbish Modsman". ( Stay tuned after the show for a forty-minute infomercial on some sort of pie product and how it will make your life infinitely better. ( Not really. ))

I'm already making Evil Bread*, and I have an idea for a four-legged Cookie Monster semimegabeast.

Also, the melting of the icemen was an intended feature, in case you didn't know.

Also ideas: there was one type of prehistoric shark which had a jaw so weird that people thought it was an ammonite at first. Current theories include it being a type of organic whip.

*humanoid zombie-esque creatures. No clothes, though. They're powerful enough as it is, what with their 50% chance of auto-resurrect.

Hmmmm.... Sounds fun. We could have a whole bakery nation at this rate. With gingerbread houses and everything! ( Gingerbread houses should be easy. Mat editing is pretty easy, it's making things live that's hard. )

Well yea, wouldn't be much of an iceman if it didn't melt!

Whoa. Strange. That would also be horrifying to fight, I'd think.

Not really. Interactions cannot create items in any direct way, nor can they add reactions to entities/adventurers.

The only roundabout way I know of to get items from an interaction would be by having a corpse resurrected, then transformed into a creature that dies instantly, leaving behind the instrument as an item-corpse.

The only other way that I know of requires DFHack.

Also ideas: there was one type of prehistoric shark which had a jaw so weird that people thought it was an ammonite at first. Current theories include it being a type of organic whip.

If we are thinking of the same shark, then the saw-like jaw was just designed to help tear up food.

Though a shark with a tooth-lined whip in its mouth is a pretty terrifying idea.

If you mean saw-shaped, then no, but you're probably thinking of the same one. Just to check: the one you mean seems to have it's  jaw rolled up in some way, right?

I mean this guy:

Though from what I can tell, scientists think that it likely looks more like this:

E: Though there is a shark known as the carpenter shark or sawfish, which has a long nose that resembles a double-sided saw.

That is one of the ones to which I referred.
