So it's a vampire FB?

[Button]

Yep.

They're the least threatening type - it'll just suck some blood if it lands a bite attack.

[neblime]

but are its stats doubled?
also would undead ignore it?  (never had that kind of situation, assuming random undead would attack any FB they might encounter)

[Lelouch]

taken from the wiki, will be spoilers if you do not want to know about forgotten beast and such,
but here's a break down of your FB

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

composition:Rock or Mineral:
Tough, but nowhere near unbeatable. Metallic weapons should do the trick.

body shape:Quadruped, Humanoid:
 about the average for FB's. Try and use cutting weapons to cripple them

special attack: Hunger for warm blood:
When the creature stabs the opponent, some blood will be drawn. Not dangerous.

your beast can be beaten with metallic weapons, ranged or melee depending on your preference. (try to use steel or bronze)

I'm rather disappointed that it doesn't have other vampire qualities :\

[Melting Sky]

It will still be nasty thanks to its composition. I've never seen a vampiric beast before. That's pretty neat. I assume that like a normal vampire, its bite tends to drain the victim to death?

A well armored (and trained) dwarf should be able to avoid the bite.

It causes some blood loss, which isn't lethal for any big enough creature. Multiple bites may result in a faster death than with a different FB, but if a creature keeps being bitten it's usually doomed anyway.

I did some tests with this kind of creature before.

It takes one blood drain to kill a rabbit, while significantly more (3-4) to kill a giant grey langur. It actually seems to prefer draining blood to a certain extent.

So don't get into a wrestling match with it. Try catching it and experimenting with Goblins.

Just to clarify, this is not a vampire FB - it's just a forgotten beast with a blood-sucking attack (which have been possible since version 0.31.01, released over 4 years ago).

Blood-sucking attacks themselves have been in the game since the very first version (released nearly 8 years ago) in the form of Nightwings, and version 0.27 (about 6.5 years old) added sea lampreys and giant leeches.

So no, this is not "new" by any stretch of the imagination.

You wanted it to migrate into your fortress and become mayor?

Fixed that for you.
