I think there should be new domesticated animals and some new items. Here are some ideas:
New Domesticated animals:
Dwarf Spider: (lore) The Dwarf Spider is a domesticated short spider (half the size of a dwarf) that hunts vermin and intruders of the fortress they live at. The Dwarf Spider was originally not domesticated or tamed by the dwarves intentionally and were seen as pest and hunted. As time flowed and the Dwarves learned about their pest. The benefits they brought by hunting some of the more bothersome vermin and intruders. Over more time they found a way to tame them and than eventually culminated into domestication as time went on. (can be milked for silk and trained as a war animal, requires nest box or you could have them leave egg sacs) (basically think of them as house spiders only if they were 1-2 feet tall)
Point cost: 60 maybe 70
Lizaro: The Lizaro is a animal that dwarves domesticated as a result from their preference towards hilly and mountanous terrain. The Lizaro hunts vermin such as rats, hunts birds, and other reptiles such as lizards and snakes. However it is not purely carnaviours and also consumes plump helmets in particular in regards to its omnivours diet and has been known to eat shrubs and grass. Over all the Lizaro is a sturdy creature. (can be trained as a hunting/war animal)
Point cost: 15 maybe 20
New Items:
Scaly Skin: This would replace and act as hides for reptiles/scaly skin creatures. This would/could than be turned into Scaly Armor, Scaly gloves/greaves/gauntlets/boots/bags/etc.
Chitin Plates: This would act as hides but for bugs i.e. the giant spiders and etc. Chitin Plates can be used to create Chitin Armor/greaves/gauntlets but not gloves or shoes/boots/bags. instead Chitin Plates can be turned into Chitin Bars at the smelter and than combined with iron or steel to make Chitin Hardened Iron/Steel Weapons (marginally better than iron weapons and only slightly better than steel weapons) You could remove the whole chitin hardened stuff and keep the chitin armor stuff if you wanted.
Extra:
Mivl Wyvern: The Mivl Wyvern is the smallest flying dragon/wyvern and is twice the size of a horse. It is a terror to flying animal people, live stock, and anything else unlucky to find its self in the Mivl Wyvern's cross hairs. The Mivl Wyvern is capable of picking up an entire cow or other things of similar size. The Mivl Wyvern has been noted to pick prey items up and drop them from extreme heights to ensure its death; a unfortuante fact learned the hard way by a fortress that had a visit from a Mivl Wyvern which killed several dwarfs. Two by picking them up and two by having the other dwarves dropped on them from such a height. (no fire breath, building destroyer, tameable)
