I suggest that at some point in the future, Toady run a sponsorship drive similar to the Animal Sponsorship Drive he had a little while ago, but rather than requesting real-life animals to add, we suggest mythical creatures to add.

Why?
1. More donations are always nice.
2. It encourages the development of new features that make DF interesting.
3. Speaking of interesting, the one problem with the sponsorship animals is that they're all repetitive. There's a dozen or more kinds of birds which fly around pretty much the same, a bunch of new vermin which act the same as previous vermin, etc. Mythical creatures would differ from both each other and normal animals enough to keep wild beast interesting.

Thoughts? Refinements? Etc?

Kobolds weren't given the tag, which is why they almost always were all dead within a few years. Now that they steal from markets, they sometimes live. But as for hunting in worldgen, I don't know anything about that. All I can say is that goblins will likely have the NO_EAT tag eventually removed.

There is hunting in worldgen. That's why historical migrants sometimes show up with high Amusher skill and tons of animal kills.
I have pointed out a perfectly good narrative reason for goblins to not eat.

Like this?

Ypu.

My personal suggestion: Use the Drought of Perception Blotting to make ourselves invisible to elves. Walk into town. Kill as many as we can before the potion wears off. Quaff a second potion and escape.

Can we leave an evil note in elf blood?
Something like, we are your new gods, leave 5 maidens of skill by (Safe location) every harvest and we shall not smite you?

Can we get five+ gifts every year, or are you planning to eat most of them?

The Judeo-Christian God?

Oh. Well in that case I recreate the crustaceans with a higher resistance to heat

[2-1] You create a race of flaming crabmen. They hate you, [5] and give you a -1 to all rolls.

Okay then, create a race of Penrose triangle-shaped minions. Call them the Kings of Mobius.

Not unless you link to what a Penrose Triangle is.

Create a fractal planet with a fractal atmosphere and inhabited by fractal flora and fauna.

[2] Nope.

Spinkick reality!

[5v2] You shatter Reality! The various dimensions divide some! Also, many Rips of Time and Space appear!

((I tried to genocide humans because i felt like it.))
Genocide zombies.

Weirdo.
[2] They're immune to your latest disease.

Have anti-humans buildshield to protect them from regular matter universe.
Introduce semi-demons to humans to anti-humans.

The antihumans question your order. Evidently, they aren't actually made of antimatter. You introduce the semidemons, the humans, and the antihumans.

GM TURN:
The Garbage Can [5] creates a grouchy race of noseless green-furred humanoids, Trash Goblins, which infest dumps and garbage cans around the universes.
The humans attempt peaceful relations with the other races, [3v1] and convince the semidemons to do so.
The murderous pantaloons, which should be doing something, drift into Pandesmonium and [5] kill dozens of semidemons. The semidemons [6] transform these 76 fallen into a dozen Greater Demon Kings, platinum-feathered plant-dogs with venomous bites that transform the bitten into lesser types of demons. The semidemons and filth demons start grovelling before the Greater Demon Kings!

What's Afgi? You promised info on it in the Enemies spoiler, but there wasn't any.

I knew I should have skipped the honor crap...
Grab the human's shield arm.
