Incidentally, are Kobolds considered sentient? It seems I'm allowed to butcher her if I want to (which I don't, as she's hillarious), which is very weird given that we're Dwarves, not Elves.
Because vanilla has no tameable sentients, the live-butchering filter allows butchering of anything tamed. However, once butchered, their various meat cuts will not be available for eating or cooking, and will be put in a coffin (if one is available).
I don't remember what the situation is with making crafts from their bones.
I wonder how the Dwarves will react to the Eggs then... I mean maybe when the Kobold Egg is finely minced and served with finely minced fava beans with some nice dwarven chianti they won't notice. To be fair they've yummed down Crundle meat before (if you count them as sentient) and didn't think twice about it.
Speaking of Flidus the lucky Kobold Hunter... she's finally gotten over the whole kill deers thing, she doesn't get the "Return Kill" bit yet though, but she's learning.
She was actually stalking another one when she walked right into the Goblin Seige that arrived! Somehow she managed to avoid getting turned into a pincushion.
Also, while this may just be the placebo effect, I think she made them take a slightly longer route into the fort allowing some straggling Dwarves to get inside ready for the onslaught. That or Goblins ignore Kobolds, still it was amusing watching her run from like 60 Goblins and Trolls back to the fort.
EDIT: Goblins, how did I spell Goblins and Golbins like three times?
EDIT 2: Huh... that's weird I could have sworn that Crundles had [CAN_LEARN] but I guess I was imagining it, and for some reason I also thought that you could tame Gorlaks, good thing that Gorlaks are good though, because I'm setting up a breeding program for them now and it's too late to back out of it now!
Also, there is one sentient creature you can tame and breed: Gremlins. Is it not actually intended to be the case though? Or is [INTELLIGENT] required for the creature to be counted as sentient?
