Well, it's more parallel universe creatures that got spiraled through time and space.
Such as:
Pale Ones: Pale, winged, stronger kobolds, basically.

Vramin: Mutated dwarves from another world with horrifying tendrils, claws of steel, and multi-caste.
I plan for one caste, should this mod become real, to have the [CURIOUSBEAST_DRINKER] tag. This would be explained by this variety remembering the taste of alcohol and searching for more.

Draco Leo: Purple, winged, big, horned, fireball-breathing lions with red eyes. (Somewhat based on the Final Fantasy series's Behemoth.)

And also some creatures from DF stories (if all goes well):
So far, one example would be The Nothing from Nomekast. (Can't think of many more.. anything from DF stories, anyone?)

2 (very psychic) races:
Cosmi: Psychic elves living in cities. Not very nature-bound compared to standard elves.
Mani: Copper-skinned horned psychic humanoids. Only feature discernable on their "faces" would be their glowing eyes. (Somewhat based on the Mani-Mani Statue from EarthBound.)

2 secrets:
Psychic: Allows access to the psychic powers of the Cosmi.
Sentience Bringer: Allows you to make creatures sentient with an interaction. Why not?

Oh! And a new megabeast inspired by Master Hand from Super Smash Bros. (Because I am a Nintendo fan.):
Hand of Armok: Big ass floating hand made of steel. Able to "cast" dragonfire, freezing wind and a necrotic gas.

(Hope I can make this mod a reality. May need help though.)

pale ones: possible
vramin: possible
draco leo: possible
i don't read many df stories
cosmi: depends on what you mean by "psychic"
mani: possible (still depends on what you mean by psychic)

psychic: etc.
sentience: even been done, quite easily
hand of armok: possible

The "psychic powers" would be interactions.
List:

Dust Burst: an offensive ability used by Cosmi, Mani, and those with the Psychic secret.  Basically like a somewhat directed, decently strong cave-in dust. Medium cooldown period.

Knockout Mist: Psychic Secret Wielder (Psychics) and Cosmi can use this. Basically a mist with a syndrome that simply knocks the opponent(s) out. Long cooldown period.

Sickening Gas: Mani-exclusive. A gas that causes fever, nausea, and coughing up blood. Long cooldown period.

Blinding: Cosmi-exclusive. Blinds opponent(s), obviously. Short cooldown period.

Pain Flash: Psychic-exclusive. Causes body wide pain to the opponent(s). Long cooldown period.

Slumber Mist: Mani, Cosmi, and Psychics can use this. Like Knockout Mist, but makes the enemy drowsy instead of knocking them out. Short cooldown period.

This is what I have so far as a plan.

might be easier to make those direct target, since trailing flows are somewhat unreliable

Hmm...
Which ones though?
You didn't specify.

Pretty much all the ones with trailing flows. The dust burst obviously has to continue being a TRAILING_DUST_FLOW, though.
