Can a [CE_BODY_TRANSFORMATION] syndrome change a creature into a demon?

It should be able to? DEMON_1 I think is the first generated demon, I'd have to look at the uncompressed save to recall, but you can as well. I think it's the World.Dat file

just open it in a text editor and search for [CREATURE:DEMON

What program will open a dat file?

If a creature has no parts made from the standard butchery materials (skin, meat, fat, etc.) will the game still drop those materials if the creature is butchered? Or will the game know to instead drop the materials it's actually made from? Like for example wood or metal.

BUTCHER_SPECIAL is what controls that, and it's under the material template.

Is there a way to make all creatures that hold a specific position show up as historical figures in legends mode? Like all dwarf kings for example.

DO_NOT_CULL keeps them from being culled during the end of world gen, which means they' always show up. Dwarf monarchs (and lots of other positions) have that already.

Thanks. Do you know why searching "dwarf" or "king" in historical  figures is showing no results?

Looks like creature species and position is not included in the "filter" function.
Can't filter by dwarf/orc/centaur/forgotten_beast/king/queen. Can by Urist. Or if translated name contains "king".

Exporting the historical figures to XML text file will not help, positions are not there:

thanks.

If I want a specific animal's meat to cause a disease on ingestion could I put the syndrome on the creature SYN_INGESTED? What material/tissue would I tie it to?

You'd tie those into any edible material - muscle (basic "meat"), brain, lung, kidney, etc. I did a creature like that once which gives a bunch of negative syndromes when their meat is eaten - different syndromes depending on which tissue you ate.

Thanks. So:

[SELECT_TISSUE_LAYER:MUSCLE:BY_CATEGORY:MUSCLE]
      [SYNDROME]
      [SYN_AFFECTED_CLASS:GENERAL_POISON]
      [SYN_INGESTED]
[SELECT_TISSUE_LAYER:BRAIN:BY_CATEGORY:BRAIN]
      [SYNDROME]
      [SYN_AFFECTED_CLASS:GENERAL_POISON]
      [SYN_INGESTED]
[SELECT_TISSUE_LAYER:HEART:BY_CATEGORY:HEART]
      [SYNDROME]
      [SYN_AFFECTED_CLASS:GENERAL_POISON]
      [SYN_INGESTED]
etc...?

Or

[SELECT_MATERIAL:MUSCLE:BY_CATEGORY:MUSCLE]
      [SYNDROME]
      [SYN_AFFECTED_CLASS:GENERAL_POISON]
      [SYN_INGESTED]

?

Just this would work:

[SELECT_MATERIAL:MUSCLE]
  [SYNDROME]
      [SYN_AFFECTED_CLASS:GENERAL_POISON]
      [SYN_INGESTED]

Syndrome stuff is only attached to either interactions or materials. Tissue stuff is irrelevant for this.
