Snakemen and Lizardmen.  There weren't any of them on my map, but slowly they start appearing and dieing off immediately.  My creatures aren't doing it.  They aren't falling into a chasm.  Theres no other creatures on the map that COULD kill them.  How are they dieing?  I'm in a temperate mountainous area with a brook and HFS.

Both are creatures from underground water biomes. Underground rivers end in a small chasm (not shown as chasm on embark).
Likely you have one somewhere.
Can you Zoom to a dead creature to see where to dig ?

Oh balls!  I was innocently building my fortress when suddenly from outside I see a hoard of creatures bee line towards my fortress.  In a panic I slam my hand on my keyboard and find out what they are.

Dark Gnomes!  7 of them!  Versus my Dwarfs!  7 of my Dwarfs!

THEY'RE DRINKING MY BOOZE!  THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!  They drank it all!

[Pilsu]

Qloos is throwing a tantrum!

Should've just drafted the dwarves. They'll tear those little pansy gnomes to shreds. Then you can have Bloody Barrel Beer.

ONE dwarf can EASILY beat seven gnomes.
Uh...  I think you're doing something wrong.

This (though you can't zoom to the dead creatures, since falling into a chasm removes them from the map).

My second map had an underground river that entered and exited the map on its borders, so I wasn't aware of this feature initially.  Three or four maps later, I notice the same thing -- a whole bunch of dead frogmen and snakemen.  Finally found and dug into the underground river, to find that it starts at a waterfall, goes approximately 8 squares, and ends in a chasm.  Shortest river ever.
