ULTRA MASSACRE!

Armok will be proud!

[Earthquake Damage]

M-M-M-Monster Kill!

Strangle someone with a sword.  Yep, that makes sense.

That's why I like playing as a bronze colossus.  You can splatter people by punching them, and you can't overexert yourself.

However, you can still somehow get poisoned by giant cave spiders...

Doing it right now.

How to strangle someone with a tool:

1. Hold one end of tool in hand.
2. Bring tool around target's neck.
3. Grasp other end of tool with other hand.
4. Place leg in bracing position against target's torso with feet planted firmly on ground.
5. Pull.

REMEMBER TO PUT IN THE [INTELLIGENT] AND [CAN_LEARN] TAGS!

I made the mistake of not slapping those in there, so I can never gain experience in anything.  This also means I can only have two drunks following me around at any one time.

However, the plus side is that I don't need 'em.  Or the leveled-up skills.  Those things are powerful enough to not need much of anything, but it's still fun to pick up a giant two-handed axe with one hand and start dismembering people.

The colossus is large enough that he can carry a two-handed (human two-handed) weapon in one hand, plus a shield in the other.

Also, don't worry if your eyes get torn out.  You apparently don't really need them (my dude, "Talos", got both of his ripped out by a giant while a cave spider had him under paralysis and was nibbling on him.  It's actually kinda cool when you think about it).

I once got mobbed by three cave spiders at the same time.  It took ages for the stacked effects of being triple-webbed and triple-poisoned to wear off, but once they did, well...    "STOMPIN' TIME!"

And that giant?  Once I woke up, I squished his cave spider pal, and then ripped out both his eyes and strangled him just a little bit.  Before he died, I let off and started punching him, just to make it last a little longer.  Unfotunately, I ended up hitting his upper body with a punch, which caused it to go *splat*.  

I then picked up his dead body and used it as a baseball bat to fling swallowmen about.  No encumbrance.

[INTELLIGENT] implies [CAN_LEARN]

[Earthquake Damage]

All (semi)megabeasts that don't already possess CAN_LEARN or INTELLIGENT deserve CAN_LEARN.  It's more fun when failed quests make life more difficult for your next adventurer.

[Kagus]

Even though [INTELLIGENT] may imply [CAN_LEARN], both tags show up on creature profiles, so I figure it's best to play it safe.

Better than generating a world only to find out it doesn't actually work...

Still, even though Talos will never be able to perfect his throwing or wrestling, it's still fun to punch the arm off an iron man and then use it to smash an antman with enough force to send ichor-drenched bodyparts flying twenty or more tiles away.  Ahh, good times...
