If you're anything like me, you may have enjoyed modding the game to include vastly increased numbers of monsters and wildlife.

I figure it can't be a bad idea to have a place to share them.

It might also be an idea to have a short description of what we're looking at if it's something obscure. You can't really tell from just the code.

[Captain Mayday]

First I'll post is this, a four armed giant. Place in creature_standard.txt

Both a giant gator and a giant croc. The crocodile is at least based on it's primitive ancestors. I admit to knowing next to nothing about alligator ancestry.
Place these in creature_large_temperate.txt

I have an almost done a java random mutant spawn genertator...
you can get from multilegged things with no head and large fanged mouths in belly to winged  tentacled 3 longnecked heads horros...
sadly you need to edit the body and creatures definition to get them .. :-)
I could be nice for demons or evil wizard bodyguards (if human or smaller sized)

That Kong description really need some bonus to destroy things :-)

Enjoying these potential additions so far.

Can you add things to an ongoing game?  I'd like to add a whole bunch of things that could invade from the river, or whatever, as well as the current frog,lizard,snakemen, but I'm nowhere near starting a new game at the moment.

[Captain Mayday]

Unfortunately, you need to generate a new world to enjoy any changes made.

And I will update Kong in order to give him Building destroyer.

Do we have any control over how many different species of critters we'll get in the wilderness of a given mountain site, or over what might come from the river/chasm/lava?

Could I mod it so that as well as the usual suspects, you might get a modded-in critter coming from the river?  

Hmm, I'm going to add all the aliens from X-Com and Terror From the Deep...
