I smashed a few forgotten beasts made of salt; just make sure you don't puncture a lung on one that has a breath attack or you'll quickly find it puffing out breath every few seconds in a sphere around itself.

There is an engraving of three dwarves in a dining room. The third dwarf is a soaper.

I wonder if salt creatures dissolve...?

You may also want to put a spoiler on the title, some people don't want to have forgotten beasts spoiled before they meet one themselves.

True, but at a certain velocity the resulting explosion expels invader-bits at fatal speeds. You don't want to be dropping trogdolyte-shaped shrapnel bombs into your boneworks.

Well I spoliered it, but anyhow, I do not believe that this particular one is killable.  Right off the bat my dwarves took off 2 of its three body parts (stinger and tail), but then got slaughtered in a prolonged battle in which there can be now victory 0.o
