velvet worm is cool and all.. But I think I would like some genuine lovecraft references.

Lovecraftian gouls (Dog-like humanoids that raid tombs to eat fresh corpses-- See for instance, in Pickman's Model)

Genuine Shoggoth (Not sure how this one could be done. It would need to be able to form appendages spontaneously, and then revert to a shapeless blob just as quickly. Would definately need the intelligent and loves_fighting tags though.)

"Elder Things".  (Featured in The Mountains of Madness) I think they would be right at home in cavern layer 2. (shoggoth in cavern layer 3)

An interaction-on-self with many different possible outcomes, which could transform the shoggoth into one of its countless castes?

Though unless you use DFHack, it would not transform again until the original transformation ends.

that's a good suggestion, add cosmic horrors to the game, maybe put them inside sealed structures in the underground layers or in ocean biomes. points if they produce syndromes and stuff like that as FB do.

i would add giant vermin, just for the lols, if there can be giant scorpions and giant cave spiders, then i should get a giant fluffy wambler for example.

but the idea of lovecraftian monsters/deities in the game would be cool. with a cults and all that stuff.

I just relish the idea of caging some elder things (which are supposed to be able to fly btw!), then introducing them to the elven trade caravan in the spring. Elder Things blur the line between plant and animal, having a fully functional GI tract, (and a preference for eating meat), as well as photosynthetic capabilities. Their physiology is predominantly "Vegetable" according to lovecraft's description.  This means that if the elves fight back, they are violating their pact with nature, and going against their ethics code.

Here's a pretty good picture sourced from google.

Hellhounds, with increasingly rare castes for three- six- and twelve-headed specimen. They only appear in the big fire below, are ferocious, tameable and war-trainable.

Dangerous walking trees and dire animals.

Technically, wouldn't the giant animals be considered dire creatures? Some of them get absolutely massive. Not that you couldn't add more, of course.

Though more plant creatures would be neat. All we have now are grimelings and plump helmet men.

Uktena.  Cherokee monster, a massive serpent with antlers and poison breath.  If you look at it when it's sleeping, everyone you love dies.  I'd also kill to see behemoth, leviathan, and ziz megabeasts.

A monster with skin made of a thin metal, like tin, with magma blood. maybe give it an INSANELY high blood-pressure, so that on breaking of the tin foil, it shoots magma in every direction.

An interesting prospect, but not realistic enough to accept for my tastes.

For starters, you can melt tin with a cigarette lighter. Magma is considerably hotter than that-- Its blood would melt its own skin from the inside. :D
