I've been testing in arena mode, but didn't see war animals listed.  Is there a way to flag a creature as a war animal?

I don't think there currently is a way to do so unfortunately.

What stat boosts does "war" give to an animal?  I couldn't find it on the magma wiki.  All it says is "makes them stronger."  How so, though?  Does it increase their size, give them better natural armor, etc?

If I remember correctly then it doubles the result of a lot of their combat rolls, resulting in creatures that are a lot better at combat then non war-animals. Though this is nowhere near as powerful as it used to be ever since the materials rewrite that came with DF 2010 since material matters much more then rolls now. Training for war also makes animals attack invaders and enemies on sight instead of using whatever weird way of deciding when to attack thing that most animals use now.

It would be nice to be able to deploy war animals in arena mode.

but ... hm. the stats of a war animal isn't visible to us, correct? I wonder if the war dogs you'd deploy in arena mode would be those tamed by a novice, profficient or legendary tamer ... and I wonder if there's any difference between them.
