Recently a "flood monster" liaison came by my fortress and has been accidentally causing all sorts of havoc. It's on and off, but when he's in the mood, everything he touches, and even gets a few squares away from, gets destroyed. My entire military refuses to kill him; they just stand a few squares away for long periods and get thirsty and unhappy. I managed to wall him in but he destroys even the walls with ease.

It's become quite troubling having to rebuild my workshops, doors, and even my dining area equipped with chairs and tables for my 100+ dwarves. He'll take out everything in a matter of 3 or 4 real-life minutes and all I can do is watch.

Makes me wonder how the guy even got appointed. Any ideas?

its a well known bug. Seems as if the civ you are trading with, was overtaken by some sort of deamon. Only way to kill it yet is to wall it in and then do some special stuff. (pouring magma/water on it, encase it in obsidian, or sth. like this)

Looks like I've got some engineering to do...

Thanks though, at least I know what I'm up against.

Creatures can destroy walls now? 
Not thats its a bad thing I just have never seen this before.

Walls that have only been designated, not actually finished constructed. That's what I presume anyway.

Build a support holding up stone flooring on the next level up, then remove the auxiliary constructions you used to build it. When the building destroyer knocks over the support, the platform will fall on their head and kill them.

They were walls that I built with b-C-enter as Psieye suggested.

Therefore I'm mostly certain a cave-in is the only way. If I tried drowning him (with magma, I bet he can swim being made out of water), he'd probably knock down the walls at the exact right moment and kill all my dwarves.

EDIT: I dug out a 3x3 area to collapse as quickly (haphazardly) as possible and it collapsed just as he was about to move out from under it. No other fatalities have been reported. Thanks for saving my fortress, everyone.
