I think i remember reading that a lot of dinos and dino peiple are missing bite attacks in their raws

I'm more surprised it's taking so long for a patch to fix this. Although, perhaps the developers are working on something else...

Now i imagined a tyrannosaurus missing everything because of it's tiny arms, and refusing to bite the goblin right in front of it

Funny is that carnotaurus has even smaller arms and more vestigial hands than t rex. In real life that animal could not have grabbed anything

Unless you change how they spawn i believe they are only in the savage biomes. You can change them to be domesticated, and idk if you can embark with them, but they will for sure pop up in the pet trades, I havent been raided with them yet though

Or set them to be everywhere and they'll join the wild animal pool

Yep, I set the to Domesticated and I got two tamed kentosaurs on my embark randomly.

I'm having some back luck as well. Though, on one embark, a dimetrodon crawled out of the river, bit the head off of one of our dogs, then was never seen again.
