That's not a bad idea... But now I want to do it... Except it will be a spider! And it'll be underground, because I love the caverns. And it'll be docile. ;3 And really easy to tame, cuz embarking with THAT would be crazy. But it'll lay a crazy amount of eggs. Thanks for the idea man. :x I'll post my creature here when i'm done, if that's cool? Since it's, generally, the same thing?

[Thormgrim]

I think that would be really cool.  Early shots at this were based on spiders for me, too.  I have a problem imagining that dwarves have been underground all this time, in the caverns and such and never domesticated anything except surface animals.

I still need to do some tweaking I think, but that's the basic creature of mine.

[Putnam]

You need to make all of those tokens (RHORN, LHORN, LEYE, REYE) unique.

[nuget102]

Thanks. I just made up those BP really quick, didn't even check to see if there would be any problems. Anyway, fixed it.

[deepspaceprobe9]

I thought I was unique for making my own cheaty animal...

But it's avian and sometimes hostile, as a pleasant twist.

Playing in adventure mode, I saw people wearing shirts and stuff made of the feathers, but I can't do it in fortress mode. Help?

[Badger Storm]

You could give it a layer of shearable "wool" and rename it to feathers.  As is, feathers are useless (shame, I bet the dorfs would enjoy down beds) so if you want feather yarn you'll have to mod that yourself.

[Thormgrim]

I was just experimenting with these guys and realize I can't tell the males from the females.  They don't have the little gender symbols, have the same names, etc.

Any idea why the gender symbols don't show up?

[Putnam]

Probably something to do with the way CASTE is used instead of SELECT_CASTE a few times.
