Summary0013247: Odd migrant, called a "Rat gem cutter," but not with rat-like appearance, crashes game
DescriptionI have a migrant that consistently shows up at my fort with a weird description "a rat gem cutter" and what I've heard is the "debug creature" sprite and no profile image.
Steps To ReproduceNot sure... seems to be a world-generated creature. I saved the file close to when the migrants show up, so you should be able to just wait using that game for it to show up, so hopefully I can attach files to this bug report (will see if I can see the option after saving).
Additional InformationI have screenshots here in case the post stays up: https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/1mlx2d0/rat_gem_cutter/

Oh, and I'm happy to provide other information, so please ask if there's anything else you'd like to know.

Somehow, the game created a historical figure + unit with its race set to that of a vermin. If you're not using any mods, you might be suffering from some sort of save corruption.
