So I have here the first test of body-hopping spirits, which I called pretas (i.e. hungry ghosts).  They hang around exposed food and possess dwarves (and cats) who encounter them.

Interestingly vermin hunters don't seem to kill them.  I'm not sure what prevents it.  Maybe VERMIN_NOTRAP?

Deon, pets with bloodsucker will kill/drain dwarves of blood, but as far as I know that will not be reported as criminals. IndigoFenix used this for murderous PlumpHelmet men in one of his mods.
