They might melt upon coming into your fort our of the caverns, though. You could do something with the cave adapt, have them burn when the CAVE_ADAPT counter gets reset to 0 (when they step outside).

[Kazimuth]

Are the caverns substantially colder than the surface? 'Cause you could make their skin take heat damage. That would be amusing.

Also, re: bird-seals: penguins? 
Actual names, though- something like mareformes? Scientific names for birds tend to end in 'formes' (which apparently means 'ugly' in latin)

Ninja-edit: anyone know how the [CAVE_ADAPT] token works?

[StLeibowitz]

I'm pretty sure "formes" in this case is plural for "forme" which means "shape" And most scientific names for birds don't end in it; you might be thinking more of their taxonomic order, which generally isn't included for the species' latin name (ie, Corvus corax for ravens).

Personally I prefer "Birdeal" or just "Breal" for bird-seals.

Kind of like penguins, but bigger, higher on the food chain, and with 4 flippers. I would go for something scientific, but I want something more vernacular. Like, most people don't go around calling seals pinnipeds.

[Kazimuth]

...so it is! That's what I get for glancing at the Wikipedia page 

Ack, ninja'd. Welp.
You can't go wrong with weird nordic roots. What about, like, skurl? For 'shore'.

[WillowLuman]

That sounds good. I'll check a few more translations, though.

I do sometimes 

I was planing on adding filter feeding flamingo seals with strainer beaks.  I'll have to work extra hard at making them different enough.

Cave dwarves. No eyes. and no skin color. Also they burn in light. Get underground ASAP.

Their is light in the caverns from the moss. I would suggest HUGE eyes instead of no eyes. And instead of burning they are blinded and in a world of pain when they step out side.

[WillowLuman]

Go ahead, make them! Sounds like they'd be good for tropical oceans.

All this talk about INCORPOREAL stuff and me starting to make hives gave me inspiration, hehe.

[WillowLuman]

Shadowrun Returns inspiration?

[Vgray]

Hmm...I just butchered a River Squid in advent mode.

It gives no meat. Just muscle, fat, skin, nervous tissue, and "Organs' not a list of different organs just "Organs".

[Putnam]

Shadowrun Returns inspiration?

Nope. Generic inspiration.

Far better, IMO. I usually don't make original content.

In this mod, muscle is meat. And I think there are just generic 'organs' to reduce clutter. I'm not 100% sure, using the search tool didn't bring any answers up.

It would appear that Halflings don't use currency. It's not like we have gold or silver though is it?

And none of the merchants even want to barter.

I think it's more a bug with vanilla DF, but it amuses me that the merchants don't care if I just stuff my face with the pumpkins I was just trying to buy.

They have some organs, but the organ tissue templates don't have the tokens to produce "prepared x" upon butchery, so all organs just get minced into a pile of "organ tissue"

It's getting late. I'll give it half an hour more to hear from Bfel, then I'm uploading this bugfix.
