[Loctavus]

So i've come back to dwarf fortress after a period of absence, upgraded to the latest version and genned a world.

Coming into around about the spring of the second year, I get my first influx of kobold thieves, which are promptly chased off with the usual minor injuries.

It's at this point I find another invader I just can't fathom.

After watching the last thief run out of the exit to make sure he's really gone, I notice something has fallen foul of my wooden spiked ball weapon traps, which I'd placed early in anticipation of goblin snatchers.

It's a human, legendary status by the teal and white flashing name and very dead. Not a stitch on him. I had kills on forbid and the corpse was forbidden. He had no gear at all. I should probably look him up in the hist figs, but it was weird enough I thought I'd throw it out there.

He appeared before the humans first caravan, which turned up a few months later.

Any guesses?

He might be a night-creature (more than likely a were-something). Showed up in your fort, and revert back to human before he/she got skewered.

[slothen]

were-creatures are generally naked when they revert, if i recall correctly.

This makes a lot of sense. Makes me very glad I prioritised the traps. Badly injured goblins caused enough problems without that thing running around as well. I'm hopeless at military.

I had a similar situation once. They deceased was a necromancer. They sneak around like thieves.
