Find its entry in the raws and add [PET_EXOTIC] and the Dungeon Master can tame it.

No and no...though if you're editing them to be tamed then you might as well edit them to breed while you're at it, adding [CHILD:1] to the raw entry.

There are three things I know about dwarves:
1. They've got beards. Even the women.
2. They're short. Especially the women.
3. They're Scottish.

I... the same way you tell the gender on anything in the game? Should be v -> somethingorother, then you'll see the ubiquitous gender symbol (Cross-y is female, pointy is male, on the freakish off chance you'd not known.). Pretty sure it was like that in 40d, too. Just loo(k)ing at it might work too, dun remember.

Oh, right. If there's no symbol, there's no gender. They won't be breeding, in that case, 'least in 40d. I think.

You're pretty much stuck I'm afraid. Even if you cut out the [NO_GENDER] tag, it will only effect new fire imps. Since feature populations don't replenish, you're stuck with the existing ones, who shouldn't be effected by any raws changes.

Remove the NOGENDER tag, I'm not sure if this will work for creatures already on the map though.
