0010505: Titans, FBs, deities assume identities during play
Must all be legendary persuaders.

In one save a human goddess fooled a dwarf civilization into thinking she was a goblin mercenary. This was on a fortress mode save.

In the other, a forest titan and two forgotten beasts have assumed identities and posed as humans and other much smaller creatures than themselves for information gathering. This was on an adventure mode save.
It seems to happen while actually playing, in both fortress and adventure mode. I've never seen it happen during worldgen after generating a number of worlds.
There are two saves in the zip: http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=13391 [^]

In deity, "Ube the Uncle of Gerbils", a human goddess, has assumed an identity as a goblin to fool a dwarf civ. There is some editing of the raws in this one but only for animal people, cats, and goblins from what I can remember.

In megabeast, "Ospaz Clearingboars" the forest titan and the forgotten beasts "Lomife Graveskulls the Death of Splashing" and "Soakedseals the Unholy Crab" have all assumed identities as humans or other sapients. No editing of raws, I used dfhack a bit in adventure mode for creating items and changing stats though.
No tags attached.

Yes, I imagine this has the same root cause as dead creatures assuming identities (0010452).
