Is it possible for a creature to change gender?

You could do this with a body-transformation syndrome, though to my knowledge there's no way to link this with skill.

0.40.X question:
I've gotten around to tweaking Chaos Theory for DF2014. Everything seems to work perfectly fine except for one tiny detail: Both the Fallens and the Risens do not talk.
At all.
I have an idea of what the problem could be, but I'm only about 30% sure.
Here's the ENTIRE RAW FILE where they reside.

Help would be appreciated.
By the way, having a mouth or not does not seem to be relevant in this situation.

No, actually.
I assume that is the problem?
EDIT: Adding tongues did nothing at all.
That was not the problem, or at least not the whole problem.

Tried testing them out in the arena. It seems that removing the [NOTHOUGHT] tag allows them to speak.

That's strange but logical.
Thanks for the help.

Dwarf fortress has a tendency to use long's for those values in the code, so my first guess would be 2,147,483,647 (or ~14.3x the volume of a giant sperm whale). It's also possible that Toady used an unsigned long, which would give you a maximum of 4,294,967,295. Hypothetically he also could have used a long long, which would give a max of 9,223,372,036,854,775,807; but I find that idea unlikely.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

Hey Guys,

I was trying to update fortress defense, and I am running into an issue: I cannot seem to get the civs to spawn properly.  The creatures work fine in the arena, but not as enemy civs.

Anyone have an idea on what the problem is?

Trying to allow my adventurer to start as a lasher (Shame on me, I know). Adding [WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_WHIP] to the civ did nothing.

So, I used the more leather mod that makes skin into a blob and tweaks the tanning reaction to use the skin blobs, to get leather proportional to creature size.

But it got me thinking: how does the current body tissue system work? you get bones and meat and fat in proportion to body size, and a collection of other organs if they're large enough to count. But: you get one skin, and one 'hair', unless you dismember the food first, in which case you get one skin and one hair from each body part butchered. Shells from large creatures drop in stacks.

So my question is this: what governs this behavior? What is different in the tissue layers that makes skin and hair so different? The tissues are defined in the raws, you can change their strength and temperature and add or remove them if you want. Wool is sheared in stacks, even. (I think a stack of any size gets spun down to threads anyway, but I'm not certain about that...)

Interaction transformation full-healing.

The "severed" in "severed nerves" means about the same thing as the "severed" in "severed head", mind.
