So, I was experimenting with different body forms for adventurers, trying to come up with something to add into my game that was playable in adventure mode as an outsider.

When trying to generate a basic, playable dragon-type creature, who has needs like a sentient (for example, the eating habits a dwarf would have), but has the body form of a standard dragon (without the ability to breathe fire), I ran into the mentioned issue.

I realized I didn't know how to give him grasp-capable forelimbs, in which he could use, say, a sword or other bladed instrument (in this case to butcher for meat, when he got hungry).

Normally this would be silly, but like I said, I'm experimenting with different forms in order to come up with a final product that isn't as bizarre as a dragon who needs to butcher and eat like a dorf, using a bladed item (I have removed BONECARN from this being). I suppose I could give a minor edge to his claws, which would probably allow them to be used to butcher a corpse and retrieve edible food. Maybe leaving BONECARN would be better, but like I said, I wanted something that behaved like a dwarf, but had a very different body form, perhaps that of a dragon, in the case of the current experiment.

Yes, gorillas do so by default.

no

Doesn't do anything

There's a body def with this exact thing you're looking for. Look in body_default.txt.

It's QUADRUPED_NECK_FRONT_GRASP if you want quads that can grab and interact with things with their front feet.
