Beakdog Dilemma
« on: July 15, 2009, 01:56:00 am »
 Just having constructed a fairly classy death-pit, I have been avidly awaiting creatures to stock it with. To my amazement,16 goblins riding beakdogs arrived.
 If I capture the beakdogs in traps, release them in the pit, will they then attack any goblins I drop into it? Or should I just reserve the beakdogs for the elves? I would hate for the Dwarf ASPCA to beat me for feeding elfs to poor animals for no good reason.

Should you fail to comply, strict !!disciplinary actions!! will be taken. Also, we feel we should remind you that one of the "criminals" on your list is the chief medical dwarf. If he ends up too badly injured to do his job, you will be fired. Out of a magma cannon.
Sincerely,
The Administration

Beakdog mounts are rare, i've been through 30 forts and never had to deal with them...

But onto your question, if its possible to tame them (after catchin them of course) then if you drop them onto the goblins, they should fight, but if you can't tame them nothing will happen...

but you could save them for the elves then drop them onto your trade depot
then they'd proceed to rip them apart or fall back as the siege was broken...
