Comments? Ideas? condemnation?  ;D

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This is the betacarp, i'm thus asking for refinements/ideas people might have, comments on the nature and/or behavior of the Carpman.

Info

The Carpman is a humanoid version of a carp, while being smaller than most humans/dwarfs, they are a formidible beast. They surprisingly came about due to the unsightly relationship of Urist and a river carp.
They have evolved a weak poison, which allows them to incapacitate larger predators and survive outside the water, however the Carpman still favors staying close to rivers with its less evolved brethren.
The Carpman is a carnivorous animal, and is known to enjoy the taste of dwarf meat.

That's not as scary as this one monster me and a few others thought of in a long dead thread. It was a skeletal hippocarpdragoneagle. I think we added some more stuff, but I don't remember them all.

Yikes, the Orcs have a nasty language.  Traditional foreplay would be right out for them; how would they ever "say my name" for one another?  No wonder Ocrs are always so bloodthirsty and violent, they're getting sub-par action.

This is nor for the faint of heart. This creature has been created before. Thankfully, it was managed to be contained in a single vault under 4 z-layers of magma. We caught the perpetrator and he is no longer with us. The creature has been kept there for years. We feed it raw elf once a year.

You do not understand the ways of Toady One. He is not a business, he's just a guy trying to make a fun game. He's invited people to come along and experience the journey with him (and help him test it out as he goes along). At the end of the day, I don't think his main goal is to sell Dwarf Fortress, its just to create the best game possible.
