Have any fun ideas kicking around about applying what syndromes we do have access to right now?

I thought I wanted to see what people had been doing with them and what people were wanting to do but was as yet unsupported after reading this thread in the suggestions forum.

The idea of the trogbold, a kobold troglodyte hybrid with a penchant for thievery and a gas that causes unconsciousness:

Inspired by this quote, the bolded section in particular...

I really hope he adds to it soonish. There's a *lot* of cool things to be done with Syndromes. I mean, rage, yes, infection, yes, but that's still being small minded.

You could make an untameable creature that releases a gas that causes dwarves to have happy thoughts, so there'd be value in trying to force your dwarves to go near it, or make it so unicorn blood heals wounds, or... damn near anything, really. A nightmare gaseous beast that sneaks into your fortress breathing a gas that causes melancholy? A non-aggressive thief whose trailing gas cloud knocks dwarves out? Actually, that last one we could do already...

So, can we actually make this with the system as is? Thieves that have a gas they exude which causes unconsciousness in dwarves (possibly everything but themselves).

Make them a caste of kobold? The higher ranking ones, perhaps.

CE_OOZING sounds promising. Im not sure what it does, but a thief storming through your fortress causing all you dwarves to... ooze, sounds fun.

You could make the thief blind to make him not run away from dwarves.

Oozing causes pus to ooze from either the specified area or random areas, iirc.
