So let's say I have a new animal, like a raptor, and I want it to be possible for this animal to be the basis of a 'raptor-man'.  This is what the ANIMAL_PERSON c_var is for, right?  How exactly do I apply it to the creature I've created in order for raptormen to start showing up?

Copy paste another animal person and replace pertinent parts

...Well yeah I guess THAT makes sense.

Duh.

Looking at CAVE_FISH_MAN, it looks like you start with
[COPY_TAGS_FROM:critter]
[APPLY_CREATURE_VARIATION:ANIMAL_PERSON]

Then any other stuff that makes sense, like removing AQUATIC and replacing with AMPHIBIOUS for fishmen, then using SELECT_CASTE to give them caste names for men and women, and then giving all castes the c_vars for punch/kick/etc

Then GO_TO_START for stuff like name, description, and the like.

Sorry for not thinking of this earlier!  Raptors and raptormen shall soon be a reality for all Dorfkind

Any other critters that don't have animalmen that ought to?  And are werecreatures contained in the raws so I can see how that is applied?  Because the idea of wereraptors is awesome.

Did somebody say fishmen?

OT: Take Putnam's advice. Look at the variation file and see what tags are removed. Redefine the ones you want and such (Like name and caste name).

Werebeasts are not raw defined, but you can define them in the raws (see: interaction examples folder)
