was looking through the corpse options on my refuse stockpile and saw at the very bottom, these 3 oddies
Enforcer of Lulushutar
Servant of war
and Ruination of death
anyone else seen these? or is it some kind of randomly generated monster

[PlumpHelmetMan]

Those would be angels. They're randomly generated and all have names like those.

[4powerd]

ah, I was pretty sure they were randoms when I couldn't find them on the wiki, but as I've never seen angels before, I didn't know they were angels, follow up question, can angels appear in fortress mode?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

the first one is a sapient angel and they come with divine metal gear as they are assigned military positions(enforcer), the second one is an pet much like beak dogs in dark fortresses(servant) and the last one is a megabeast which is the arch angel(ruination). you only encounter them in adventure mode... well I mean until now with your report... it looks like your angels are aligned with spheres of death and war

so... how did you end up with them? did they just suddenly sneaked offscreen into your traps after you stole their slab? am I missing out that much in fort mode in this update? did you butcher the ruination of death to make ☼Ruination of death soap☼? do you have *pale metal gear* lying around in the stocks menu?

none of the above unfourntally, I was just messing around in the stockpile settings and looking through corpse options

was looking through the corpse options

I got too excited and misread you, that was embarrassing... 

to add on to the topic before moving on, you can always try adventure mode to find them and their reside... and bring them back to your fort as reanimates, then have it retire in your fort before any of the fighting begins and come back in fort mode if you want to have or even call it a !!fun!! encounter.

food for though, though it would be cool if angels would attack you if you stole their slab

You CAN embark on top of them, and so encounter them in fortress mode. I believe you need DFHack's embark anywhere option enabled, and you need to find the buggers, as their abodes aren't that large and are not displayed when embarking. If I remember correctly, you can detect that there is something there from the fact that you're blocked from embarking there in vanilla.

It's not hard to make an overlay script for the pre embark region map to display the undisplayed features present there.
