There are a couple of creatures that solely exist as legends, and as such, don't really need their body info. These are those creatures. Dwarves can know about them, but they don't actually spawn.

Yep!

Keep in mind that [FANCIFUL] is the only thing letting civs know they exist; without the tag, they couldn't be known. [DOES_NOT_EXIST], however is obviously what prevents spawning.
