I'm going to be the only one who says this, but...

Snail and Slug men.

No, I like snailmen too. They're kind of precious, in a way. Especially if you make them tameable. Slugmen are similar, but 'snailmen' has a nicer ring to it.

Yah, it sounds like minecraft with content, you have obviously missed the point, people dont like content, they like different coloured blocks.
Seems to work fine with my copy. As soon as I loaded the human caravan came by and the world burst into fire.

Only in dwarven culture is alcohol poisoning a death worthed investigating, while being impaled through several toes, a eye, and a thumb from a spiraling water[3] is not.  Because everyone knows, the only way a dwarf could get alcohol poisoning is if someone put poison into the alcohol.

Tigermen. Just because of how if they become notable in worldgen they tend to attack towns and eat everyone's pet cat.

Snarllanterns devoured a cat of The Fruity Confederation. x 7

I once saw a worldgen tigerman who ate like 40 cats in this one town, but not all at once.

if it did it all at once then it would have been hailed as a god by dwarven kind.

Elves. I like seizing everything they have, then drowning them (for the precious *Elf Bone Bolts*). And after all of this, the next caravan victims say "We are charmed by your ethical works."

Trolls, because a siege squad of those buggers is scary as crap compared to goblins. Even if goblins never bring them to siege (had to freakin mod the game so beak dogs and ogres were everywhere so they would use them, lazy goblins).

Goblins, because they're like dwarven welfare. A fortress can live in luxury just by occasionally rewinding the traps or pulling the lever on the deathtrap, then selling their (-Giant Cave Spider Silk Thong-)'s to the caravans for mountains of food and booze.

Iron Men, because the one time I encountered one of them it killed 4 of my dwarves.

Besides dwarves, I must say I like my modded-in wolfmen the best. I love wolves so much.
Interpret that in any way you like.

Any way you interpret it, it's understandable. Wolves are badass.

Are their tentacles attached to their faces, or their arms?

Arms would be awesome, faces would be cool if they could also use them as limbs.
