For plant creatures to work properly Id think Toady would have to work on them specifically...

Otherwise they are rather harmless and easily avoidable except in select situations.

So, in the next update will sea cucumbers be a viable creature (with guts breath?)

If near a swamp/pond or river they'd potentially be a nightmare to fisherdwarves, also hunters. Theres also the possibility of an adopted kitty getting plant ambushed to death and the dwarf going on a rampage.

We can only hope...

Will it be possible (perhaps through modding) to have world with stuff like entire clouds or banks of say, mercury mist/fog/etc and have that wander around the map ?

edit : yeah, terrifying biomes

I imagine a plant-creature/ creature-plant template wouldn't be that hard. Just have a plant that matures into a creature.

You could use this for treants/non-stationary creatures as well. Might be worth it to have the nascent forms gatherable as herbs in case you want to trim their population.

Or the other way around?  Pequeninos, here we come!

Why not making the plants directly to creatures? Standart stuff like hight colors barkthickness etc could be set in the raws. This way we can have stuff like "Find the sword under the tree which is marked with an X".

I am not sure if that would work wit multitile plants like Mamothtrees (80 meters hight and 13 meters diameter).

^^ ok saving that 500000 appereances for trees might be an problem.

Piggy Fortress, here we come!  Wait, before we can really have piggies, we need to do something about the enforced monogamy.  Some of the other problems actually modeling piggies can wait, but enforced monogamy must go!

Flame breath or Poisonous Pincers?

Why should I have to choose?

Why not "pincer breath"? It breathes pincers... that are on fire.

This is an interesting point, because creatures could conceivably spit globs of a material that ignites at room temperature -- think napalm.  Although I'm guessing burning projectiles and burning contaminants are edge cases that won't be handled properly just yet.
