They did, but the reason why some of the stray trogs are legendary is because they're chilling out in a big ball in my troglodyte pit socalising like crazy.

Maybe it's just me, but the image this conjured up is pure nightmares.  I'm still shuddering.

Holy CRAP, those trogs are hardcore! Makes you wonder what you could do with war snakemen, doesn't it (what with paralyzing venom and all).

Well, I mod my dwarves to have paralyzing venom fairly often, so I can tell you that when you've got an army running around injecting things, well, everything else dies. Bonus points if they can spit webbing too, if only for the regular source of silk.

Giant War Spiders, anyone?

On the one hand; you can embark with Gremlins to get free Xbows, Quivers and Ammo (well not free, costs 1 point each).

On the other hand, GREMLINS EAT ALL YOUR FOOD! AAAAAHHHH!


And on the gripping hand; TROGSPLOSION.

Gremlins also eat all your bones.

Solution: Pit them,  and they'll starve to death,  giving you a good source of bones and trade goods (small clothing/armor).

Wait, so if you pit a bunch of them, they'll EAT EACH OTHER'S BONES?

Do they need to drink, or are they fine like that? Gives me another reason to embark near a chasm to get a gremlin.

I'm not sure.  I think so, though.  My gremlins all died in two waves,  but they were all ordered pitted at the same time.

And yes,  they need to drink/eat.  I'm not sure if it works differently with tamed Gremlins,  or if this is just how the work when purchased.

Yep, but they don't drink booz, only water, so i've been using them to thin down the carp supply in the rivers.

Now all we need is an army of Polar Bears.
and animals need to be ridable, I want a Polar Bear cavalry army.

It's not this thread in particular, it just happens to be a cumulative effect. Anyway, I've decided to stop playing DF and just read the forums instead.
I feel like when I'm playing DF I'm missing out on all the really good stuff that's happening in the game. In the forums.
You know, I could never read these forums at work. I'd have to wear an adult diaper and one of those leather ball-gags, so that no one could tell that I was laughing and wetting my pants all the time.
On the other hand, if a supervisor came into a cubicle and saw that, they would either fire me immediately or never ever bother me again. Either way, I would be free to read the forums all day long.
