The reason I suggested making them automatically artefact level was in order to make them unique. This would be as a replacement to the value bonus.

The 'historical item' thing sounds like an even better alternative. It would solve this value problem between Iron man and Bronze Collosi statue's and would also mean that you can tell that statue apart from a normal bronze one.

Think about it, these beasts are considered as powerful as kingdoms, so there should certainly be something special for killing them, not just a generic bronze statue.

And yet brought low by the humblest of [Alder Cages].  Are cage traps going to be "fixed", in that a low-value cage trap won't be able to contain a dragon or colossus?

I love the idea of using say a dragon skin to make dragon scale armour.  Instead of simply being leather, it would be at least as tough as iron, and might even scale to the power of the dragon it came from (ie young dragon with hardly any experience, hide of iron; ancient dragon with many kills to it's name, hide equal to masterwork iron).  Even might add in some fire resistance (not a full dragons resistance, though).  And if you get really lucky a moody armourer will take one look at the dragon hide and go "That's EXACTLY what I need to make Shieldbearer, the Defender of Princes!".    

I don't mean, just using dragon parts.  But all of the mega beasts might have similar characteristics in some manner.  Shields made from colossi bronze might be exceptionally good at stopping arrows (just realized that would be problematic to track, unless colossi bronze was defined as a seperate metal entirely).  Just some ideas.

That raises an interesting question. If you change the material of a dragon to be that of a metal, will the dragon actually make a skin with the qualities of that material?

I've modded this (solargent bronze for colossus (>iron) and dragon scales (a bit < than adamantine)) in my modpack.
Check my sig.
Thank you for the idea, if you want, I will add you to the readme (though I haven't started yet to log any "credits" thing).

Cool!  And as to the readme... sure.  Add me.

My request/suggestion?
Use a mechanism to link a bronze colossus corpse statue to a weapon trap.

Armok help any enemy stepping on that square.
