I've been doing a good amount of modding on the new version in between the dreaded Real Life stuff and it's nearing completion. It's got some fun new surprises for people that have used my older versions of the creaturepack, plus some familiar and beloved oldies like the dreaded Purring Hornet, bane of all dwarfkind. I've been experimenting a lot with the new creature tokens in particular, so expect a lot of fun new stuff with secretions, breaths, and weird web sprays (beware bog trolls unless you enjoy your body rotting to pieces).

If anyone has any requests for particular monsters for me to test my chops on, just ask away here and I'll see what I can do. The creaturepack tends to be high fantasy monsters and Dungeons and Dragons creatures, but I'm willing to branch out a bit.

I'll respond to questions when possible, but my online time is iffy lately so don't expect anything quick!

Cool idea. May I ask you to avoid Illithids, Beholders, Umber Hulks, gelatinous cubes and balors? Or if you make them, give them a bit different names, maybe with some adjectives or alternatives (illithid <-> mind flayer)?

Because I want it to be compatible with Genesis mod. Also, awesome! I look forward to this.

Glass Leopard?
I'd like glass statues.

Nothing I make should cause any problems with other mods even if the creature names are the same; I prefix all my creature tokens with T_ so that they will not overwrite other people's mods and cause problems (I do wish other modders would use the same consideration!). As for using the same actual names (ie beholders), you'll have to go by on a case-by-case basis and remove the ones you don't like; I can't just leave stuff out because someone else added some to a mod they made as well. 

If you like, though, I can make a second version with any duplicates stripped from it.

This is an odd request, perhaps too complicated.

Some sort of domesticated, caste-based insect. Have different castes useful for different things. The idea would basically to make a domesticated species that breeds quickly enough that it can be butchered and bred for genetic experiments. I mean, it'll have to be useful too, but...having something around specifically to play god with would be fun.

That's a really interesting idea, I haven't played around a lot with caste-level dimorphism in fortress mode before. I'll run some tests and see what I can come up with, I have just the right kind of insect in mind, too.

I was mostly afraid that there could be duplicates in creature ID names, I don't mind similar-named critters .

Overlapping definitions was something that never occurred to me. I'll start working with this in mind in my mod, though I'll more than likely grab a few creatures from your collection and put into mine, if you don't mind.

[dwarfguy2]

goblins with flying machines, and possibly more megabeasts, like maybe an alien beast.

I'd like glass statues.

That sounds ridiculously cool. Kind of makes me want to go whip up some glass creatures, but the new creature raws are pretty intimidating...

[Deon]

Just look at the bronze colossus, replace BRONZE with the material you want and change the body structure (and better add some "weak spot") . That's how I made various gem golems for the upcoming 1.1 of the Genesis mod.

[Sdonourg]

How about D&D Aboleths? They are simply awesome.

[Acanthus117]

Hey, can you make a sort of four legged spider-human hybrid? Kinda like a Drider, but cooler.

[Deon]

I had aboleths by the way, just forgot to port them to 0.31.01. Thanks for reminding me .

[Sdonourg]

2Deon, do you have amphibious aboleths, stygian aboleths, aerial aboleths (uobyliths) too?
