alright i ran into my first forgoten beast, Durean, a towering flaming blob with wings , knowing my army of 10 dwarfs with barely and training and almost no gear would be destroyed if i went against it i sealed up the areas leading to him with walls.  however can the destroy walls? he doesnt seem focused on me, hes just catching everything in the cavern hes in on fire.  also what should i do?

Building Destroyers cannot destroy walls. However, it will fly over them if you don't roof things off somehow. Also, if he is literally made of flames, just one hit will destroy him, but he will burst into a raging fireball, probably burninating whoever dealt the killing blow, and anyone else in the immediate vicinity. If you aren't equipped to fight him, I suggest to withdraw all dwarfs from the caverns and sealing off any entrance you have. As well, any (C)onstruction such as walls are immune to being destroyed by anything but a determined dorf with a deconstruct order, and they cannot burn. So far.

thanks, right now hes just hovering over a lake and i sealed off the cave so i should be good for now, i feel bad for the troglodyte family though lol

You should try and dump water on him. Not sure if it will put him out or not, but it definitely is dorfy.

lol it doesnt, he went through 3 z-layers of water to kill a cavern crocodile

If you play with [TEMPERATURE:NO] to conserve FPS, that FB might be completely harmless. Well, apart from the guys he manages to hit first.

Yeah, you can't drown them, or put them out. I've encountered two flame-based forgotten beasts, and they were actually the easiest I've come across to kill. One of my recruits killed one of them single-handedly with a few hits from a bronze pickax. The other went down even easier - a single hit from an iron bolt. It could of course just have been luck, but I think it could be possible they're inherently weaker than other types of forgotten beasts. I wouldn't recommend you charge it, though - as I said, I've only seen two made of fire. My advice isn't likely to be the best.

FB's that are made of fire, salt, grime, mud, or other weird materials like that actually are the easiest to kill. This is because those materials aren't fully defined in the raws so many of their "combat" stats default to immensely low numbers. If you encounter a non-solid FB any hit will automatically sever parts of it's body or kill it if it hits the main body/head areas. Send a single crossbow dwarf at it and it should kill it without any problems.

I only encountered 1 forgotten beast, and that was in my "dead" file. Killed by a pond grabber
