A new meaning to "Forgotten" Beasts?
« on: May 02, 2010, 05:36:29 pm »

So, a giant Thrush (small bird) spawned as a Forgotten Beast in one of my cavern.

But then I was distracted by a goblin siege, so I have no clue where it is. It isn't on my unit list, dead or alive.

Is it still around, just in the cavern bits I haven't seen or been to yet? If I open up that cavern level, is he going to path right to my Fort, as beasts are oft to do?

It's still around. It's just wandered into an unexplored area of the cave. You should see it again fairly soon. If you give it a way in, it will almost certainly path in fairly rapidly.

This guy gets it, the problem with the child torture dungeon is that they weren't set on fire first.

It's definitely not gone. I made the mistake of thinking a Beast was gone because it wasn't on the unit list anymore. I lost several good dwarfs when it reappeared from a dark corner of the cavern.

Somebody here had a great idea.  Pit a kitten down there and just let it roam.  Be sure to seal the floor up again right after.

I know cavern denizens like troglodytes, giant toads, etc will leave the map, but will Forgotten Beasts and Titans?  I've sealed off all entrances to the cavern from off-map, but there's a little pocket that's had 3 or 4 Forgotten beasts wander in.
