I saw things like "Warrior of Night". And of course, I played as one, now I'm this furry thing with mandibles that constantly spews smoke and doesn't seem to tire. What are these things?

In worldgen now necromancers and demons can conduct gruesome magical experiments on the populace of settlements they conquer. These creatures are the products of those experiments. They're pretty cool, huh? :)

It's actually pretty terrifying to think about having all of your fat melt off into grease because you started sweating too much.

Necromancer experiments. Escaped/imprisoned then integrated into dwarf/elf/human society same as animal people.

Check the devlog for this version's many, many updates.

If you're using the Adventurecraft mod, escaped experiments will be made of ++ mats like megabeasts are. This means that playing one as an adventurer will be somewhat easy mode.  You can still die of blood loss but you probably won't lose any limbs unless you go around wrestling with giant elephants or something.  It also means zombie versions of these creatures are going to be very, very hard to kill even for very powerful adventurers.  Anything horse sized or up will be pretty much unstoppable.  I took a peek at the generated raws in the world I'm playing and one of them has the tag [BODY_SIZE:0:0:10000000] :o
