I can't see why they shouldn't work, but they don't seem to be getting created in worldgen, as they don't show up in legends mode at all. Is there something I'm missing?

You could remove modvalue and genpower with megabeasts.

The main issue I see is no organs/unfinished body. There's no way that thing is alive.

No point in having [liSP] without [CAN_SPEAK]

Also, check your errorlogs. It should tell you.

They don't have any biome tags. Which is why they aren't spawned anywhere.

All standard megabeasts have [BIOME:ANY_LAND], but you can mod in biome specific megabeasts.

Ah, thanks! I thought it was something small I was missing.

I didn't think to add can_speak. I copied the template from a dragon to reduce work, so I thought he would already have it. I'm kind of surprised that dragons don't.

While I plan to fix the body up, surprisingly enough, it does live just fine. I don't know how, but it does. I made them into pets and tried them in fortress mode to test.

I'd guess then that the only noticeable effect will be less vital areas to damage, making it a bitch to kill?

Seems to me that it would be missing a head and tail.  And without that it would only have the "if all else fails push" attack.

Also I don't see how it lives for more than a few ticks without a heart, lung, or brain.  Maybe you encountered some odd unknown body part behavior. 

I know you can have fliers without flier parts maybe you can have creatures capable of bleeding to death without hearts, or creatures that can drown but can't suffocate from an injured lung.

[1138]

Yes, when viewed with v-w they have no heads or tails. Like I said, there's some^* ironing out to do.  I've been trying to find one in adventure mode to see what it's like to fight, but am having trouble due to my extreme suckage at playing adventure mode. Oh well.

To make the head and tail work,

[BODY:BASIC_2PARTBODY][BASIC_HEAD][TAIL]

Needs to be written as

[BODY:BASIC_2PARTBODY:BASIC_HEAD:TAIL]
