I'm sure there's some kinda of creature in masterwork that kills your dwarfs by tricking them into thinking that their lair is simply a dining room. If not it MUST be added.

Maybe if you classify the expedition leader as a cave creature.

I found a human city named Sleevevirgins. It was easily the biggest city in the world, so clearly I wasn't the first person to come inside the city's walls.

While not a cave creature, a tame Tigerman will lollygag around your fortress chatting to people and could even end up being elected as mayor.

I once got a cave creature that comforted my mourning dwarves and relieved the fortress of a terrible burden; a cave-strangler climbed out of the well in the hospital (Somehow?) and strangled all the cripples to death in their hospital beds.

It was probably interesting from the crippled dwarves' perspective: laying alone in the hospital ward at night, when something black and shambling crawls out of the well and starts systematically strangling all the other dwarves in hospital beds to death, only being able to lay there and watch due to your wounds.

That was a good fortress.

Imagine you're driving a car. Push the gas pedal to the floor. Close your eyes. Remain this way for ten minutes while turning the wheel at whim. This is Dwarf Fortress.
I don't mean to alarm you, but it appears that your Dwarves are all in fact elephants.

Gremlins are chatty fellows once you've tamed them, I had one as a mayor once.

climbed out of the well in the hospital


I learnt that hard way, too. At least couple of Forgotten Beasts flied into my fort through the well. There was more battle deaths in the hospital than were in the gates of my fort.

They do have [PREFSTRING:stimulating conversation] and [PREFSTRING:helpful guidance] in their raws. It should therefore show up in a dwarf's thoughts and preferences screen, if they are so inclined, but won't have any more impact on gameplay than a cow's "haunting moo" or whatever.

While adding magma to anything will make it dwarfy, adding the word "magma" to your post does not necessarily make it funny.

Coldmonkey: "The idea that having flaming tools and introducing them to the intimate workings of someone you don't get along with is much too human for these forums. I mean, it's not really that hard, is it? Anyone can wield a torch, it doesn't prove anything. Wearing flaming clothes on the other hand, or better yet, wearing nothing at all and being on fire... that is the essence of dwarfish behavior."
