:Thanks, I'll upload the image. You might not have been able to upload if you hadn't made three edits yet on your registered account. Upon reading some relevant wiki sections, I think the sentence might need some rewording, or further investigation: Supposedly werebeasts are immune to traps due to [[Trapavoid]], rather than size. Do you have any more information on catching the wereracoon? Did you have any webs in the room, or mods installed that might have influenced this, for instance? It might even be a bug. Either way, thanks for commenting and sharing the image. It's an interesting discovery that should lead to even more comprehensive wiki info.

*There were no webs in the room, and I have no extra mods installed that would affect this (better transparency for smooth stone designation is about it really), and that room specifically works with the wereapes I have in my fortress as well, I have already spread the wereape infection to 2 other "volun-dorfs". Also side note, the wereapes, and wereraccoons do not get along at all. Perhaps I will try the wereraccoon again to see if it continues to happen, maybe also setup a trap gauntlet for it to run to see if it triggers any other traps, that the wereapes don't.

*Second test - results: Same sterile test room, no webs, no mods that would interfere, has worked previously with wereapes, wereraccoon was trapped again and did not get a chance to attack the test subject. [[User:Scavello|Scavello]] 04:22, March 22, 2023 (UTC)

*It would be strange if wereraccoons could not be caught in cage traps due to their (small) size. I do not believe we have the numbers for the werebeast sizes (though they would not be difficult to extract), but all manners of creatures such as crundles and stoats can be caught in cage traps - and those are surely smaller. In other words, the only reason for wereraccoons to be trappable would be for there to either be a mechanic which prevents small creatures to be caught in cage traps, which must in that case be new to v50, or for the wereraccoons to have some other token influencing their interaction with traps. Or it could be a bug of course, or human error. --[[User:Voliol|Voliol]] ([[User talk:Voliol|talk]]) 10:44, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

Page structure[edit]

I found myself having trouble finding or accurately referencing sections of this article that were within quite long sections and paragraphs. I took the liberty of restructuring a couple of section headings, and adding a few subsections. It's a bit subjective, so I'm just leaving a note here, in case anyone has any thoughts on this.

Werebeasts in fortresses update[edit]

The Werebeasts in fortresses section could do with some specific information about visitors being able to transform whilst visiting one of your fortress locations.

Adding a werecreature list with sprites.[edit]
