Did they grow beards?

So if my dwarf has "never becomes angry" and all other traits of SANE dwarf (though its oxymoron:) ) but has prone_to_rage then it will have all the bonuses he needs in a fight but will never attack fellow dwarfs? Now i know which reaction i want in a psychologist workshop:) Only question is how to change soul with interaction now:)

does this work?

Huh, that's pretty cool. Thanks a bunch, Deon!

4) How would I make a facehugger die after facehugging something with its interaction? Is there any interaction token that attacks the user?

Yes, but creatures won't use an attack interaction that hurts themselves, so far as I can tell. This has caused many a problem for absorption-type interactions.

try something like this
[INTERACTION:FACEHUGGER]
   [I_SOURCE:CREATURE_ACTION]
   [I_TARGET:A:CREATURE] Caster
      [IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_CREATURE]
   [I_TARGET:B:CREATURE] Target
      [IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_CREATURE]
      [IT_FORBIDDEN:NOT_LIVING]
      [IT_FORBIDDEN:NOTHOUGHT]
      [IT_FORBIDDEN:NOEMOTION]
      [IT_FORBIDDEN:SUPERNATURAL]
      [IT_MANUAL_INPUT:target]
   [I_EFFECT:ADD_SYNDROME]
      [IE_TARGET:A]
      [IE_IMMEDIATE]
      [IE_ARENA_NAME:humping head]
      [SYNDROME]
      [SYN_CLASS:FACEHUGGER]
      [CE_NECROSIS:SEV:1000:PROB:100:RESISTABLE:BP:BY_TYPE:THOUGHT:ALL:BP:BY_TYPE:BRAIN:ALL:START:0:PEAK:1] unit dies after facehugging
   [I_EFFECT:ADD_SYNDROME]
      [IE_TARGET:B]
      [IE_IMMEDIATE]
      [IE_ARENA_NAME:facehugged]
      [SYNDROME]
      [SYN_CLASS:FACEHUGGED]
         [CE_UNCONSCIOUSNESS:SEV:1000:PROB:90:START:0:PEAK:30:END:1900]

Is it possible to make creatures grow new/extra body parts using syndromes and such?

i think werebeasts grow new body parts

i tried creating danger room first time with menacing spikes and i sent all my military dwarfs to train dodging later i got announcement that all of them died due being stabbed to death by the spikes. all of them were legendary skilled fighters 

wrestling helps try strangling it if its unconscious

i remember the first time breaching HFS and i didnt know it was that fun and i had all of my dorfs killed (every time soldier died i replaced him with civilian) until i had 4 dwarfs one was posessed and making artifact two in hospital and last one pressed the kill button ( lever quarded by tamed dragon that activates all supports holding my fortress) IT WAS EPIC! i mean FUN!

so far i have not found anything but stone in my caves. I do have a hospital, its stocked (well not completly) and theres dwars using the beds tehre, but im not sure if the "doctors" are actually doing anything there. i will have to check.

They are dying randomly, out in the open? That rules out vampires...

Could they have contracted some horrible disease? Those commonly originate from a certain kind of underground monstrous beasts, and in evil biomes.

Also, maybe they are getting injured, and do not receive proper medical care. Have you set up a functioning hospital?

Does this help?

do you have appointed someone to chief medical dwarf noble

(sorry for off-topic)

you can check type of ghost by reading its description check wiki for more info

i distinctly remember toady saying that he didn't want mounts in vanilla dwarf fortress. he doesn't like the idea of dwarves riding things.

I'd have to agree, something about mounts just seems undwarven. Considering mounts were mostly used to travel long distances, and the distinct lack of long distances underground, not to mention the cramped spaces, I don't see how learning to ride things would be a high dwarven priority.

how about Urist.Mc.swordsdwarf having giant mole mount tunneling around caves and killing forgotten beasts.
