I've had an FB wandering around in caverns beneath my fort for a long time, it's responsible for the death of two GCS that I only noticed were down there when it was killing them, (a third died to a cave ogre in similar fashion, and before that I'd never even been blessed to see one) and I have occasionally noticed very large amounts of miasma emanating from places I zoom to when checking combat reports.

Recently I saw it moving around the cavern and realized that the miasma was coming from it in an incredible plume that trailed out wherever it walked.

I of course examined it and found:

Which went on for seven pages. Seriously, seven pages of scars! The last one was pretty much full too.

So I guess this FB is poisoning itself constantly when attacking other creatures and rotting every external part of itself away over and over. Or maybe there was another one that caused that and it has never recovered. I wonder how much impact this has on my framerate.

Do you have the capability to web some traps and capture the beast for weaponization?

[Loud Whispers]

"Beware its poisonous gas." Yep, sounds like a self-gassing FB. I'm surprised it hasn't bled itself to death. Here lies the Newt, slain by the Newt, slayer of the Newt.

I'm surprised it isn't immune to its own poisonous gas. I thought that was standard for all procedurally generated creatures?

Or, alternatively, it has somehow come into contact with the syndrome bearing blood/extract/juice of some other FB, which it would not be immune to.

I thought it wasn't. I dunno. The above is the most logical explanation.

I had a particularly terrifying one that rotted flesh with deadly dust rot itself. I believe they aren't immune to their own dust.
