      SKULKING lost SCOUT
      [ANIMAL] def for entities
         You must use one of the following tags to specify the animal:
         [ANIMAL_TOKEN:<token>] -- this ANIMAL def only applies to this one creature
         [ANIMAL_CASTE_TOKEN:<token>] -- this ANIMAL def only applies to this caste (requires ANIMAL_TOKEN)
         [ANIMAL_CLASS:<class>] -- this ANIMAL def only applies to castes with all of these classes
         [ANIMAL_FORBIDDEN_CLASS:<class>] -- forbid castes with any of these classes
         Sites with populations of animals will have all castes, but only use the specified castes for roles like mount.
         The following tags override creature tags.  If a caste matches two ANIMAL defs, ALWAYS prevails over NEVER.
         [ANIMAL_ALWAYS_PRESENT] -- without this tag, the animal will only be present if found in the environment
         [ANIMAL_NEVER_MOUNT] -- overrides MOUNT and MOUNT_EXOTIC (either normally triggers mount role)
         [ANIMAL_ALWAYS_MOUNT]
         [ANIMAL_NEVER_WAGON_PULLER] -- overrides WAGON_PULLER
         [ANIMAL_ALWAYS_WAGON_PULLER]
         [ANIMAL_NEVER_SIEGE] -- overrides TRAINABLE_WAR + not CAN_LEARN
         [ANIMAL_ALWAYS_SIEGE]
         [ANIMAL_NEVER_PET] -- overrides PET and PET_EXOTIC (either normally triggers pet role)
         [ANIMAL_ALWAYS_PET]
         [ANIMAL_NEVER_PACK_ANIMAL] -- overrides PACK_ANIMAL
         [ANIMAL_ALWAYS_PACK_ANIMAL]
      SKULKING gets animal def
         [ANIMAL]
            [ANIMAL_CLASS:POISONOUS]
            [ANIMAL_FORBIDDEN_CLASS:MAMMAL]
            [ANIMAL_NEVER_MOUNT]
            [ANIMAL_NEVER_PULLER]
            [ANIMAL_NEVER_PACK]
            [ANIMAL_ALWAYS_PET]
            [ANIMAL_ALWAYS_SIEGE]
      skulking gets [NO_ARTIFACT_CLAIMS]

[scamtank]

Yeah you can.

[Boltgun]

You can define pets with more precision and override their uses. Ie, making them underground creatures to ensure they get em is no longer mandatory.

[Nightcore Angel]

awesome, thanks! 
The animal/pet part is very interesting, i'm intrigued...(i didnt know there was a poisonous tag?! i thought it was classified in the body part attack, guess now i can start labeling tree huggers as [ANIMAL_CLASS:POISONOUS]) 
Anyway, hope this page helps people out there, cause im pretty much still a dabbling modder my self.

Also found in the raws :

[TOOL_USE:DISPLAY_OBJECT] + [FURNITURE] to an item make a display fixture.

Hmm? whats this suppose to do, eh?
You know, i kinda imagine, maybe if we can put this token to a statue, maybe we could show off our finest booze reserves, like one of those displays in airport and malls.

I'm really sad there hasn't been more new toys for the modders this release

I'll take quality over quantity quite happily. The ability to grant civs specific creatures, instead of having to make do with the [COMMON_DOMESTIC] and [EVIL] tags, was long overdue. It should allow for custom civs to have a lot more character.

Utils like Legends Viewer will also benefit from the additional xml output. There was also something complex which I don't understand which will make Therapist easier to implement apparently. Loads of stuff for modders in this release if you include util makers.

Personally playing with animal tags to see what's possible right now.

Report back fast! I haven't been able to get stuff to work yet...

[Shonai_Dweller]

Will do. Awaiting the summer hobbit caravan to see if I've got them to successfully ignore their horses and utilize the crocodiles instead. The local towns have dangerously high levels of horse pets compared to hard working crocodiles, so I'll be pretty pleased if it works.

[StagnantSoul]

I tried to remove horses etc from a race and add some lizards to pull their wagons, instead they just worked with horses... It is highly likely I was modding the wrong version though, i had a lot of tabs open.

Horses might sneak back from other tags, the DOMESTIC ones, or ANY_PET_RACE. I don't recall of horses has a creature class that you could use but perhaps you can forbid them.

I'm still patiently waiting for the ability to apply creature variations through syndromes, and define how frequently a modded secret or curse appears in worldgen.
