I have a question. How does one tell, short of savescumming and looking through legends, whether or not a captured megabeast or semi-megabeast is tameable? Does the number of names given to it suggest tameability?

[DarkDragon]

In my experience it only matters if it killed one of YOUR dwarves. I tamed a dragon that had killed members of my civ before, but it didn't manage to kill any of the dwarves at my fort before it was caught in a trap, so it was tameable.

Also, some megabeasts are NOT tameable, regardless. Like titans.

That is, unless you mod the raws.

[stormyseasons]

ah. I see. Thankyou, then. So my dungeon master can now have a pet hydra to play with. . . I can check whether or not it killed one of my own from looking at its' profile? Just to be sure. I've no engravings of the hydra killing any of mine, unlike the caged GCS in my artifact cage that features prominently in fortress engravings...

[DarkDragon]

I don't think it shows in its profile. Best to station some military around the cage before you release it, and use a lever to release it after its been tamed, just in case.

If a dragon or hydra killed members of your civ during worldgen, it might be harmless to your citizens but suddenly decide to eat your Liaison (or, worse yet, your King) for lunch.

I honestly did not know that.

So a megabeast that becomes an enemy of your civ in worldgen will kill historical figures of that civ in Fortress Mode? That is awesome. I wonder if it works on the Elven diplomat...
