if I can figure it out, I will photograph the proof about this. an "immortal" were-jackal died of old age.

I think the bug-reporting section was closed down in favour of the mantis bug tracker.

Anyways, one way to take a screenshot would be to open the legends entry, press the print-screen button on your computer, then paste the image into paint, or use a snipping tool if you have it. Then just upload it to any image hosting site you like.

This is interesting, though. Can't say I've ever heard of something like this occurring, though I've seen many instances of creatures living much longer than they should, only to expire when they are loaded onto a map.

I think only the first were-person (cursed by god) gets tag [NO_AGING]. All its "descendants" are quite mortal

Science is always important. But it needs more flaming cats. Can't we build bridge-based catapults and fling flaming cats at the dust and goo?

It's time for the ATHATH Death Counter to increase once more in celebration for the end of the world.

It looks like you are right, assuming the example interaction we have available to us is similar to the randomly generated ones.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

While the original werebeast is immortal, those bitten by them do not get the NO_AGING tag. So unless the werebeast was cursed by a god, this death was intentional.
