I walked past the graveyard, as I always do on the way to work. My mind wasn't focused on my miserable surroundings, rather my thoughts were all aflutter with the day's potential. Perhaps I could finally get that promotion. Perhaps I could finally move out of that dingy flat. Perhaps Sharon would finally-
I stop in my tracks.
That grave is empty.
It's been dug up. The dirt is fresh. Hesitantly, my eyes trail over the faded words.
Stricken by horror, I back away, my mouth opening and closing without sound. Oh sweet, merciful god. It's back. It's back from the dead.

I had to necro it!

The potential is everywhere. Finding creatures is hard. But hay maybe I'm just looking over them every time.

(Twitch) grrr creature moding looks....very intimidating any tips on handling it?
I already seem to have the hang of entity files but.....wow.....   :o

Creature modding can get pretty difficult so you should start easy and then build up
start by modding an existing creature by adding a few tags, change where it spawns etc.
then try a hand at body parts, want a lion with scorpion claws and a tail? go for it
after that you could try making a completely custom creature with custom body parts and whatnot

Since it's a new DF version with new creature mechanics, maybe we should have a new thread?

So you want them to only be made of ice?

It may look something like this. I'm not quite sure how well this will work though.

It is made purely of ice. I did this by removing all of its tissues and materials and replacing them with these lines:

This creates a tissue unique to the creature called ICE. This tissue is used for the creature's body.

I then made it heatproof by adding these lines:

11,999 is just under the temperature of magma, so it will melt once it reaches that temperature.

Like I said, I'm not completely certain of how well it works, but it does not give me any errors in the errorlog.
