This is my modded pet dragon creature. I want to be able to embark with it, but I do not seem to be able to do so no matter how I fiddle with it. Can anyone offer me some advice?

It may need the [LARGE_ROAMING] tag.


Also [DIURNAL] is misspelled, but that shouldn't affect this (and so is grandeur, but that doesn't affect anything at all).

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

I added the [LARGE_ROAMING] tag, it did not cause the Drake to appear in the embark screen.

Taking out the [FANCIFUL] tag allowed me to embark with them.

They should, yeah.  If you can embark with them, you should be able to buy hatchlings at the embark screen, I think.

I didnt see hatchlings at the embark screen, but I just saw a drake wipe out a whole heard of monkeys at my fort O_o,

I will continue to tweak the creature, possibly remove its fire based attacks for fort safety but I will definately add new ones.

Here is new code for any who wish to use.

Code: [Select]
[CREATURE:DRAKE]
[NAME:drake:drakes:drakka]
[TILE:'D'][COLOR:0:5:5]
[MODVALUE:50]
[DRAGONFIREBREATH][FIREIMMUNE_SUPER]
[COMMON_DOMESTIC][TRAINABLE][PET]
[GENPOWER:5]
[FREQUENCY:5]
[PETVALUE:26][NATURAL]
[GRASSTRAMPLE:50]
[BONECARN]
[NOFEAR]
[LARGE_ROAMING]
[LIKES_FIGHTING]
[PREFSTRING:Awe inspiring grandeur]
[BODY:QUADRUPED:TAIL:2EYES:NOSE:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:MOUTH]
[BODYGLOSS:CLAW_FOOT]
[SIZE:20]
[ATTACK:MAIN:BYTYPE:MOUTH:bite:bites:1:6:GORE][ATTACKFLAG_CANLATCH]
[FAT:10]
[ALL_ACTIVE]
[CHILD:2][CHILDNAME:Hatchling:Hatchlings]
[BIOME:ANY_LAND]
[STANDARD_FLESH]
[SWIMS_INNATE][SWIM_SPEED:2500]
[HOMEOTHERM:10040]
[SPHERE:FIRE]
[SPHERE:WEALTH]
[DIURNAL]
[MUNDANE]

If anyone has any problem breeding the Drakes let me know, I will also be manipulating color for one that is more pleasing then purple and blue O_o;

I'm not a major modder though, but wouldn't the [FANCIFUL] tag conflict with [MUNDANE]? since as I understand it, mundane means that the creature is a real life critter (I don't know what the exact implications are as far as worldgen and gameplay goes as far as that tag).

Also, aren't the spheres reserved for megabeasts or does that just determine what it ends up bieng worshipped for?

Sorry for the derail, heh.

I tried to leave the actual dragon this is copied from as unchanged as possible while still being able to treat it like a super dog.

The spheres dont interfere with me being able to have it on embark. or they do not seem to.

And I can confirm that they breed, one of my drakes gave birth to twins, which is the standard number of babies born.
