The topic says it all. I have a bunch of snailmen. I made a point of capturing them so I could use them to spice up my legendary dining room, but so far I've only managed to get one into a terrarium. My dorfs usually flip out and fight it until it dies, but somehow one of my dorfs (who was an animal trainer, incidentally) was able to catch that one bugger and ram in in there.

I don't feel like building cages in the dining room (since I went through all the trouble to make nice clear glass aquariums, I'm going to put fishies in there,) but I still need something creative to do with my slug/snailmen.

I'm strongly considering adding the "tameable" tag to them.

Build a vast, twisting underground labyrinth accessible only via an open pit and let them breed uncontrollably. Occasionally throw goblins elves nobles children whatever you want in there.

Gigantic tower. I have one that's a mere 15 stories high. See if you can build a tower so tall they reach terminal velocity (for dwarf science, prove whether or not terminal velocity exists in DF). Explode the unlucky snailman.

Also, if all else fails, apply magma.

Death by snailman must be the most humiliating death in the Dwarf Fortress universe.  Actually, scratch that, death by a massive herd of groundhogs is probably more humiliating.

And the best part is? I have groundhogs on my map.

I'm going to breed both of them to nigh unbelievable levels, then toss goblin prisoners in one by one.

I once had a adventurer get killed by a giant mole

I would say snailmen is worse, at least groundhogs have teeth.

Make a labrynth, but throw a giant bat pair in to weed out the pack. You will eventually see the most advanced snailmen live and breed, leading to an army of super-snailmen.
