There are various things that might be causing this. It might be something wrong with the creature (lack of CAN_SPEAK or INTELLIGENT or perhaps a couple of other things) or something wrong with the entity (ITEM_THIEF or BABYSNATCHER or ethics or perhaps other things), or both.

The most efficient solution would be to just post the new entries.

Ah! That's something. SWIMS_LEARNED, SWIM_SPEED:8000.

SPEED:9999999999 won't help it at all. In theory, it won't be able to do anything (ever), and in practise it'll bug out and cause the game to go weird.

tl;dr yes.

There are plenty.

They're disabled for most civs by default, so you wouldn't usually see them outside of custom names. Nothing stopping you adding them, though.

CANNOT_UNDEAD should stop ghosts from showing up.

It's more likely due to the coins not being large enough for them to measure one "unit" of thickness (the game rounds them to zero or something). The same effect can be (used to be? It might be fixed by now for creatures) witnessed if you take a tiny (vermin-size) creature and try to attack it - its tissues aren't thick enough for the game to consider them corporeal, so all attacks pass through (the same thing happens in the case of tissueless creatures).

It's NOSTUN.

A slightly impractical alternative would be to save each frame as a separate image and string them together in VirtualDub or somesuch. You shouldn't have problems comparing individual frames if whatever you're using for the image creation itself has layer support.
