I've been reading the wiki a bit on modding, and it seems manageable, if a bit difficult. I was kind of disappointed that even when they are natural swimmers, creatures won't path through it.

Anyways, is there a way to give body parts sharpness?

[WillowLuman]

I feel like a mod like this has to have a phallic shaped monster for a megabeast.

A phallus? How mundane! How about the concept of sexuality itself, manifest as a whirling ideomorph, absorbing the sexuality of every living thing and leaving them infertile?

You can give a part an attack, as each creature attack comes from a specific part, and make it an edged attack, with whatever edged properties you want, but it would only be sharp for the purposes of that attack.

And like all great things it appears there comes a time where it all dissolves into phallus jokes.
Though, that was a great response Hugo.

[StLeibowitz]

A brilliant concept, Hugo! I've seen in my day such abstracts as chaos, order, and lust given personified form, but the sexual urge of multicellular life itself? That would indubitably be a first. And what better place for it than DFFS, where Hell is a frozen hole and vertebrate life an anomaly?

[WillowLuman]

You could totally pull it off, too. Not sure what shape a "whirling ideomorph" is, but it should be surrounded by a field (represented by constantly emitted syndrome gas) that gives everything it touches a syndrome that simply adds the [STERILE] tag.

[StLeibowitz]

It'd be particularly bad for a Formic hive, if it hit the Queen. Hive death, right there.

"In 105 the Great Formic Hive of the South was ruined when the Sexuality Monster stole the Queen's fertility."

This thread is the most hilarious thing ever...

And that sheep is shockingly cool.

It sounds like a bad health class PSA.
"Don't have sex, kids, or the Sexuality Monster will render your Hive Queen infertile!"

How do I sig something?

[Cptn Kaladin Anrizlokum]

So, If you are working on crystalline things, a crystal butterfly of storms mega beast should be a thing.
Powers over weather, so lightning attacks, acidic blood/bone rains(can creatures create weather?), wind gust attacks, other weather stuff...

I would do it, but I don't really know how to mod stuff like that.

Well, my first attempt at modding, and my computer hasn't exploded. Sure, I just added [CHILD] tags to a few cavern creatures, but it's a step in the right direction!

EDIT: It looks like it will require a new world to get giant desert scorpions on embark. Oh well
