I approve this idea, a creature that tries to knock dwarves unconscious and drag them away.

I see, well those monsters seem pretty genaric and not particularily an important part of dwarfmode thus far. The snatchers are alright but, I was thinking a bigger and badder swarm that move at darting speeds that will latch on and drag your dwarves into the wild for the sole purpose of dismembering there corpses in bloody heaps. Also, they could be sneeky like a kobold thief and possibly of a necromatic curse. (I hear the next release is shapin' up to be pretty good.) Depends on how dark the creature would be.
