I've noticed that the Xelics, somewhat humanoid insect-like creatures from the Civilization Forge mod by Mephansteras, can have their chitin easily punched through by an average, unskilled dwarf in the arena. Is there an easy way to make certain tissues thicker for an individual creature? I can't help imagining these things spilling their guts everywhere every time they take a particularly hard fall.

[Mephansteras]

Well, Chitin in Civilization Forge should be a bit better than skin. It's thicker and a bit stronger. Which means that an unarmed Xelic should be an unarmed Dwarf most of the time. That said, it is more brittle so it's a bit more susceptible to breaking under blunt attacks.

If you want to improve just a single race's attributes, you just need to override the material in the creature's raws.

To give violet xelics tougher chitin, for instance, you would do something like this:

Where I've added in the specific values under the [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:CHITIN:CHITIN_TEMPLATE] part.

I haven't tested those specific values, but that should boost them up a bit.
