Turtle Power!
« on: April 19, 2020, 08:03:07 am »
Or giant tortoise power, to be precise.

Just got attacked by a were-elephant.  It murderised several of my pastured animals, and then set upon a giant tortoise.  Which it somehow wrestled or threw up one z-level into a tree, and then spent the rest of its time trying (and failing) to bite through its shell.  It must have felt particularly embarrased when it turned back into a human. 

I think I need to get me some more of these giant tortoises.  They're awesome.

Engraved on the floor is a well-designed image of a kobold and a carp.  The kobold is making a plaintive gesture.  The carp is laughing.

Also, shells for strange moods. I've lost many a Dorf to a lack of shells

Do one better and get yourself a set of Were-Tortoises, then name them after famous artists.

The Giant Tortoise is the most underrated guard animal in the game.  I've had entire sieges spend a week just hacking the GTs chained to a post outside my main entrance, unable to do more than dent the shell.
