i just caught a flying earthworm with deadly blood using GCS traps.

before catching it, it was shot in the right wing by a marksdwarf.

it leaked ichor when it was shot, so i'm not sure if deadly blood has any effect. i'm not sure if it can fly either, since its wing was cut open.

suggestions?

It's likely it can still fly, wings have to be cut off completely in most cases to make them flightless.

Drop some stripped goblins or kobolds if you have some and find out what happens

Deadly Blood FBs aren't the strongest, but like anything syndrome-bearing, they can mess your military up good.  And since it can probably still fly, the number of safe ways of feeding it invaders is very low, nor can it be easily executed via pit.  I might use it for marksdwarf training, since it doesn't have any way to attack through fortifications.  Alternatively, you could just keep the monster in a zoo as a monument to your success.

Nothing can break a hatch from below so that might help with dropping goblins on it. Incidentally watch out for that blood, its effects might kick in later.

Well, you could try to create contaminated water trench with it but these days poisonous blood isn't all that dangerous even to dwarves. Also, I had an impression that if FB uses any other bodily liquid instead of blood then the syndrome is gone.

This. I had 2 and a half full squads drop dead from blood loss a while after killing a FB even though none of them showed any symptoms beforehand. Was out of the blue.

i think i have an idea for this thing. i'm going to put it on a retracting spike tile with fortifications around it. that way its blood will spill onto the floor around it and poison any prisoners near it.


EDIT: operation FB abuse failed. retracting spike failed to injure.

abandoned project and locked thread.
