Evil Tundra and Glaciers. Ice Wolves when you first embark or better yet blizzard men....

Apart from human blood raining all the time, my terrifying embark is pretty boring.

The terrifying forest I just embarked in had a rain of abhorrent slush that caused temporary dizziness and bleeding so short-lived that I  never found anyone with yellow parts. It did kill a migrant's pet duckling, but everyone else just got blood everywhere and then walked through the slush to the nearest murky pool to clean off. And then walked back through the slush.

I abandoned it when I realized that not only had I messed up my clothing mods and my aquifer plug rings, but the stupid forest wasn't even reanimating. What's the point of that?

dfhack command "prospect all" gives a summary of all available stone types.
Sorry if it's noob question but isn't command like this cheating?

It's a single player game. There's no such thing as "cheating" in a single player game.
I disagree; you can cheat in solitaire, can you not? However, because there are no generally accepted standard "rules", it's up to you to decide what's cheating and what isn't. I personally view danger rooms and infinite metal replication, among other things, as "cheating", but other people probably don't. It's entirely up to you.

Sorry for being argumentative and off topic; back on topic, terrifying can range anywhere from "oh noes it's raining blood and there's a scary zombie bunny" to "RUN!! RRRUUUUNNNN!!!! THE RAIN INSTANTLY FREEZES YOUR HEART, AND THAT HUSK RABBIT LITERALLY JUST TORE THAT GUY'S HEAD OFF!!!!"

It's not cheating until you try to use it as a claim that you're better at solitaire than someone else, at which point it stops being single player.
