Recently (About 1 minute ago) my Dorfs slew their first Titan! Yay, No losses and only injury is a decapitated dog...Ok one loss.

It was a gem titan and it was cut into several parts, two legs, Head, Rest of body. After its death this caught my eye.



When I googled I got no result, What exactly is it* and what can/should I do with it?


*obviously a gem

[Xinael]

Enemies that are made from materials can be set to drop that material when they die. Ash demons can drop ash, iron titans can drop iron, etc. This was a gem titan, so it dropped a gem. Unfortunately despite being enormous (it weighs more than six statues, nearly as much as four boulders), it's also worthless, as you can see there. Put it in a minecart and launch it at invaders.

[Larix]

The weight is completely insane - that's not just under four thousand, it's more than thirty-seven thousand - more than the weight of thirty gold statues.

Star sapphires are sapphires which show a brighter star-shaped reflection on their surface. Quite valuable in the real world and in DF. Unfortunately, as has been said, this one's completely unusable - your dwarfs cannot use anorganic remains as raw material.

Good job on slaying it, sapphire should make for a tougher opponent than diamond (diamond is a bit harder, but brittle).

As I see it, you have a few options:

1: Atom-smash or otherwise dispose of it
2: Build it into a "garbage" trap (Falling objects, as long as they fall more than 1 z-level or so (I THINK) can do crazy damage. I've seen dwarves get killed by seeds, socks, and silk ropes hitting them in the head--imagine what a corpse of this mass could do.)
3: Put it on display in a museum
4: If you're near a tower, wait and hope that you get a necromancer to show up, then coerce him into raising the titan from the dead. Keep him under lock and key, then when you get a siege, release the undead titan to wreck some goblins.

I'm curious wether or not 4. would work on an inorganic titan.

How would I go about putting it on display?

Oh btw, It also was a poison spitter so that was fun to deal with 

[laularukyrumo]

Necromancers are currently all-powerful and can raise skin, hair, and fingers from the dead. Anything that was once animate can probably get reanimated.

As far as displaying, sky's the limit. I'd put it on like a pedastal or something, surrounded by Gem windows. But that's just me.

[Tirion]

I'd put it in a Coinstar. For invaders, naturally.
