I built a big pit in the middle of my fort and chucked him and a dozen orcs into it.

He won.


Unfortunately i had to drop a bit of floor on him to kill him off so i could get at the piles of orc bones to make practice bolts (since i couldn't drown him, what with him being a Hippo and all.)


He's starting to show up in engravings now though :D



Also, any ideas for a better Hippo Pit that i can retrieve the loots from without having to kill off my Hippo?

Yeah...you just need to bait him into a lever controlled side corridor with a cage trap.

Maybe he meant "with a lever-controlled cave-in-dust-maker"? Stone dust knocks everything out(with some exceptions).

Not really an option; the entire structure is built hanging in the void over a junction of 2 rivers and a waterfall; cave-ins have to be very careful to avoid punching holes right through the whole thing.

Plus it's kind of a bitch to time it right.

Pressure plates.  Work like a charm.
