So I thought "Hey! I'll just add the Carnivore tag to them!" That worked, they're now bloodthirsty dwarf munching monsters. Only issue is, they now can bypass all traps. Needless to say I ended up having 3 names Hippo Calves killing every dwarf in sight. Here's the exact coding I had used to do this, is there anything I need to fix for them to be affected by traps again?

This only adds to the belief that dwarf fortress goers are crazy.
Only thing I can think of, is that it ties in with that tag somehow... but that doesn't make sense.

[LARGE_PREDATOR]

Try this instead...  replace both carnivore and large_roaming...

No clue, shouldn't have trapavoid.. or you are just unlucky...

I have hippoes in my current fort.  If it's just one trap per trap tile and only about one row they may have just not taken much damage.  They are somewhat large after all.

I recently had a few vanilla hippoes take only light grey wounds from a line of large serrated disc traps while they were chasiung a fisherman.  Those light greys heal so fast that if you didn't look right away they might have healed.  Out of 5 hippoes 2 adult 3 child only one of the young ones took anything more than minor scratches from them.

I'll try that when I reclaim it thanks

I was attempting my own ''Boatmurdered'' ^^; I succeeded with Ninja Hippo calves

I had an array of cage traps, it was around 3x3 block in front of a bridge with walls on either side. Not animal traps just cage traps.

Like that. Another thing of note, my military never responded to them ._. even with 'Harass" on. Should the [LARGE_PREDATOR] tag fix that?
